High quality, extremely collectible handmade knives since the 1800s.
SHOP CASE KNIVESThe CRKT Redemption is a bold and capable everyday carry folding knife that balances aggressive styling with high-performance materials. Designed by award-winning knifemaker Ken Onion, this full-sized folder brings his signature flair to a tactical-ready platform that's as functional as it is eye-catching. Built for those who demand more from their gear, the Redemption doesn't just meet expectations—it exceeds them.
At the core of this knife is a 4.06-inch spear point blade crafted from premium CPM MagnaCut stainless steel, one of the most advanced blade steels available today. MagnaCut offers exceptional edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance, making it ideal for users who put their knives through hard, daily use. The plain edge offers clean, controlled cuts, while the sleek black Cerakote finish not only enhances the knife's stealthy appearance but also adds excellent wear and corrosion resistance for longevity in any environment.
Designed with rapid deployment in mind, the Redemption is a gravity knife that opens with smooth, intuitive action. A quick flick brings the blade to life, locking solidly in place with CRKT’s reliable Crossbar lock. The action is fast, fluid, and satisfying—backed by a lock that keeps the blade secure whether you're working on detailed tasks or applying more force.
The handle of the Redemption is just as thoughtfully constructed. Black G-10 scales provide a confident grip in any condition, while the black stainless steel bolster adds strength and a seamless, all-black aesthetic. With a closed length of 5.13 inches and an overall length of 9.19 inches, this knife offers a full-sized feel in hand without becoming unwieldy. The .15-inch thick blade adds a touch of extra durability where it counts, and at 4.9 ounces, it carries with presence without being a burden in your pocket.
Practicality meets convenience with a tip-up pocket clip, giving you quick access whether you're on the job, in the field, or just running daily errands. This knife feels right at home clipped inside a pocket, secured in a pack, or riding on your gear, ready for whatever task comes next.
Ken Onion’s design sense comes through in every detail—the balance, the curvature, the way it moves in the hand. This is more than a cutting tool; it’s a purpose-driven instrument that fits the lifestyle of someone who expects their gear to be reliable, effective, and designed with care. Whether you're drawn to its tactical look or its no-nonsense performance, the Redemption delivers.
