CRKT Venandi Slip Joint Folding Knife 3.14in Plain Bead Blast Clip Point

The CRKT Venandi Slip Joint Folding Knife embodies the straightforward, robust design philosophy of knifemaker Richard Rogers. Named after the Latin word for “hunter,” the Venandi combines simplicity and durability, making it a solid choice for everyday carry enthusiasts and outdoor users alike. With a 3.14-inch blade crafted from 8Cr13MoV stainless steel, the knife offers a reliable, wear-resistant edge that performs well under various conditions. The clip-point blade, with its bead-blasted finish, brings both style and substance to the table, excelling in precision cutting and maintaining strength even for tougher tasks.

Opening the Venandi is a smooth, straightforward process thanks to its nail nick opener, which makes deployment quick and intuitive. Unlike locking blades, this non-locking slip joint mechanism delivers a classic folding knife experience while providing a balance between ease of use and reliability. While it may lack a lock, the knife’s solid build and thoughtful design ensure it holds its own during everyday tasks.

The Venandi’s handle combines function with a striking appearance. The layered black and brown G-10 scales offer excellent grip, with enough texture to prevent slips while feeling smooth to the touch. A bead-blasted stainless steel inlay shield adds a subtle touch of refinement, nodding to the Venandi’s well-crafted style. At a closed length of 4.1 inches and weighing just 1.8 ounces, it’s a convenient size and weight for pocket carry, designed to go unnoticed until needed.

For anyone looking for a straightforward, attractive, and capable EDC knife, the CRKT Venandi checks all the boxes. It’s sized for versatility, styled for modern appeal, and crafted with the heritage of a skilled maker. Ideal for day-to-day tasks or weekend adventures, this knife’s classic features blend timeless design with modern materials.
