The CRKT S.P.I.T. (Small Pocket Inverted Tanto) packs serious capability into a compact fixed blade built for precision, portability, and everyday utility. Designed by Alan Folts, this slim-profile carry knife blends practical cutting performance with a distinctive design that stands out without being overbuilt. It’s made for users who want a dependable tool that disappears easily into a pocket or pack until it’s needed.
Its 2.29" inverted tanto blade is crafted from 8Cr13MoV stainless steel, offering a solid balance of toughness, corrosion resistance, and easy maintenance. The inverted tanto profile gives it a strong, reinforced tip for controlled piercing tasks while still excelling at fine slicing and detailed cutting work. A dual stonewash and satin finish adds a clean, functional look while helping reduce glare and disguise wear from daily use.
Built with full tang construction, the S.P.I.T. delivers strength and stability in a compact frame that’s ready for real-world use. The orange G-10 handle provides a secure, textured grip that feels confident in hand while keeping weight to a minimum. Its ergonomic shaping supports control during precise tasks, and the bright finish ensures quick visual identification in the field or at camp. A lanyard adds extra carry convenience and retention when you’re on the move.
Carry is handled by a black thermoplastic dangler sheath designed for flexibility and quick access. Multiple mounting options allow you to set it up your way, whether on a belt, pack, or gear setup. The slim sheath design matches the knife’s low-profile intent, keeping things compact and efficient.
At just 5.48" overall and weighing only 1.9 ounces, the S.P.I.T. is built for all-day carry without fatigue while still offering dependable cutting power when work shows up. Its .11" blade thickness keeps it agile enough for precision work while maintaining enough strength for tougher tasks.
