SHOP CASE KNIVESThe CRKT Oxcart Assisted is a bold, hardworking everyday carry folding knife that’s ready for whatever the day throws your way. Designed by Robert Carter, this knife blends rugged performance with sleek design, making it a practical choice for those who demand both form and function.
At the heart of the Oxcart is a 3.05” AUS-8 stainless steel drop point blade. Known for its edge retention and corrosion resistance, AUS-8 steel ensures a sharp, reliable cutting edge that holds up to daily tasks. The satin finish adds a touch of sophistication, giving the blade a clean, polished look. With a robust .16” blade thickness, this knife offers a strong, confident feel, making it a trusted companion for tough jobs.
Fast, smooth deployment is one of the Oxcart’s standout features. The spring-assisted opening, coupled with both a blade flipper and ambidextrous thumb studs, gives you multiple ways to activate the blade with ease. Powered by the IKBS ball bearing pivot system, the blade glides open with buttery-smooth precision. No matter how you prefer to open it, the Oxcart’s responsive action makes every deployment quick and seamless.
Once open, the framelock mechanism secures the blade firmly in place, giving you the confidence to tackle heavy-duty cutting tasks. The framelock’s solid construction ensures reliable blade retention, so you can cut, slice, and carve with peace of mind.
The handle is just as impressive as the blade. Made from stainless steel with weight-reducing cutouts, it’s built to be both strong and lightweight. The ergonomic design fits naturally in your hand, providing a comfortable grip that reduces hand fatigue during extended use. The 4.05” closed length keeps it compact and pocket-friendly, while its 4.7 oz. weight offers a solid, balanced feel.
With an overall length of 7.06”, the CRKT Oxcart Assisted delivers a well-rounded size that’s large enough for serious tasks but compact enough for easy carry. Every element of this knife, from the precision-engineered blade to the smartly designed handle, reflects Robert Carter’s attention to detail and commitment to quality.
If you’re looking for a knife that’s as tough as it is versatile, the CRKT Oxcart Assisted is a top contender. It’s built for performance, precision, and dependability — everything you’d want in a reliable everyday carry folding knife.
