The CRKT Stickler is the kind of everyday carry folding knife that blends classic lines with modern innovation, all wrapped in a sleek, lightweight design. Built for those who appreciate smart craftsmanship and real-world function, it offers a seamless combination of cutting performance, fast deployment, and refined styling. Whether you're heading into the workday or stepping out on the weekend, this knife is ready to go wherever you do.
At the center of the Stickler is a 3.38” spear point blade made from Sandvik 12C27 stainless steel—well known for its impressive edge retention, corrosion resistance, and easy maintenance. Finished with a clean satin polish, the blade looks just as good as it performs. The spear point profile gives you a strong, controllable tip and a long, straight edge that’s perfect for piercing, slicing, and everyday utility work. With a blade thickness of just .11”, it offers that sweet spot between strength and slicing precision.
What really sets the Stickler apart is its spring-assisted opening mechanism, making deployment quick and nearly effortless. A light press on the low-profile flipper tab engages the spring assist, snapping the blade into action with satisfying speed. Once deployed, a sturdy linerlock secures the blade in place, giving you the confidence and stability you need during use.
The handle is made from durable blue aluminum, giving the knife a modern, clean aesthetic that feels right at home in both urban and outdoor settings. It’s contoured to fit naturally in the hand, with smooth edges and a slim profile that enhances carry comfort. At just 2.4 ounces and 4.6” closed, it’s lightweight and pocket-friendly, yet it still feels substantial and secure when in use.
The Stickler is built for carry convenience. A tip-up pocket clip keeps it ready for fast access, while the integrated lanyard slot offers extra versatility for how you carry or customize it. With an overall length of 8”, it strikes a perfect balance—large enough to handle real cutting jobs but compact enough to keep with you all day without adding bulk.
CRKT designed the Stickler with the modern user in mind, merging speed, function, and a sleek silhouette into one dependable tool. It’s a no-fuss folder that gets the job done without shouting for attention, whether you’re opening packages, prepping camp gear, or just appreciating solid engineering in a beautifully designed blade.
