The CRKT Redemption Compact Black is a sleek, capable everyday carry folding knife that merges innovation with rugged reliability. Designed by the legendary Ken Onion, this knife brings expert craftsmanship and cutting-edge performance into one streamlined, pocket-friendly package. Whether you're opening boxes, prepping kindling, or just appreciate a precision-engineered tool, this compact powerhouse is built to deliver.
At the heart of the Redemption Compact is a 3.28-inch spear point blade crafted from CPM MagnaCut stainless steel. Known for its outstanding edge retention, corrosion resistance, and toughness, MagnaCut is a premium steel choice that can stand up to hard use without skipping a beat. The plain edge blade is perfect for clean, controlled cuts, and its black PVD finish not only gives it a tactical, non-reflective look but also adds an extra layer of durability against wear and the elements.
The Redemption Compact isn’t just about performance—it’s about smooth, one-handed deployment too. This gravity knife opens with authority, giving you immediate access to the blade when you need it. CRKT’s dependable Crossbar lock ensures the blade stays firmly in place once open, providing a rock-solid feel you can trust during use.
Comfort and control come naturally thanks to the black G-10 handle, which offers a textured grip that feels secure even in wet or slippery conditions. Paired with a black stainless steel bolster, the handle maintains a clean, cohesive look that balances style with practicality. Despite its sturdy build, the knife remains comfortably sized, measuring 4.31 inches when closed and 7.59 inches overall. With a blade thickness of .13 inches and a weight of just 4.1 ounces, it's a robust tool that won’t weigh you down.
Designed with carry convenience in mind, the Redemption Compact features a tip-up pocket clip, making it easy to secure in your pocket or on your gear. The streamlined profile and thoughtful ergonomics ensure it fits seamlessly into your daily carry rotation. Every line and curve of this knife reflects Ken Onion’s dedication to blending form and function, making it as satisfying to hold as it is to use.
This knife is more than just a cutting tool—it’s a statement of quality, performance, and refined design. Whether you're a longtime collector or simply someone who values having the right tool for the job, the CRKT Redemption Compact Black stands ready to exceed expectations.
