The CRKT Xolotl Folding Knife delivers a bold modern interpretation of the classic stiletto-style folder, combining sleek lines, tactical-inspired features, and dependable materials into a compact everyday carry design. Designed by knifemaker Michael Rodriguez as part of the CRKT Forged By War program, the Xolotl reflects a commitment to creating purpose-driven tools with a strong connection to history, function, and craftsmanship.
Named after Xolotl, the Aztec god associated with lightning, fire, and death, this folding knife carries a distinctive presence that matches its aggressive design. The 3.64-inch spear point blade is made from 1.4116 stainless steel, offering reliable corrosion resistance, durability, and easy maintenance for everyday use. The satin finish gives the blade a clean, refined appearance, while the plain edge and false edge enhance the knife’s sleek stiletto-inspired profile. The spear point design provides a strong, precise tip and excellent control for detailed cutting tasks.
The CRKT Xolotl features a manual flipper opening system that allows for smooth blade deployment while maintaining a simple and reliable operation. A built-in cross guard adds both visual appeal and functional value, helping improve hand positioning and control during use. The steel linerlock provides a secure blade lockup, keeping the knife dependable when handling everyday cutting tasks.
The handle is constructed from black textured G-10, offering a lightweight yet durable grip that performs well in a variety of conditions. The textured surface provides enhanced traction, helping maintain control during extended use or challenging environments. The combination of the black G-10 scales and sleek steel hardware creates a modern tactical appearance that stands out while remaining practical.
Designed for convenient carry, the CRKT Xolotl includes an ambidextrous tip-down pocket clip, allowing users to carry the knife comfortably regardless of hand preference. Measuring 8.90 inches overall and 5.26 inches closed, the knife provides an impressive cutting length while maintaining a manageable everyday carry profile. At only 4 ounces, it offers substantial capability without unnecessary weight.
Built with a unique design, quality materials, and a purpose-driven approach, the CRKT Xolotl is an excellent choice for collectors, everyday carriers, and users looking for a modern folding knife with a distinctive edge. It’s a compact yet capable tool that blends traditional stiletto influence with contemporary CRKT innovation.
