CRKT KITH By Ken Onion

Familiar. Just like an old friend. The Kith is designed by veteran knife maker Ken Steigerwalt, who takes inspiration from traditional midlock joints and backlock folders to create a whole new approach with his front lock design. Intuitively constructed, opening the blade feels second-nature, giving this knife’s Old English name for “friend” a whole other meaning.

Easy to Sharpen: High carbon stainless steel blade takes an edge well
Strong and Lightweight: Glass-reinforced nylon handle is durable and lightweight
Safe and Secure: Unique front lock mechanism utilizes the liners as springs
Ambidextrous: Thumb stud and front lock allows blade opening and closing with either hand
Low Profile: Deep carry clip rides low in the pocket

Seasoned knifemaker Ken Steigerwalt of Orangeville, Pennsylvania re-imagines traditional locking mechanisms with the Kith’s front lock feature, utilizing the knife’s liners as springs to create more ample space for the blade. Drawing from such tried-and-true lock designs, the knife’s strategically placed thumb stud and front lock allows for easy opening and closing with your preferred hand—achieving complete ambidextrous freedom.

With a 2.95” drop point blade featuring a thin, sturdy tip, the Kith accommodates to higher-precision work. Inspired by a classic rag micarta look, the handle upholds a simple and clean aesthetic that also allows for multiple grip and carry options. Checking both boxes for durability and light-weightness, this low-profile gentleman’s knife features a glass-reinforced nylon handle, making it a great everyday carry that won’t weigh you, or your pocket, down.

Plain and simple: the Kith by CRKT is the familiar, everyday favourite.
