CRKT MINIMALIST BOWIE D2 FULL

That’s why Joe Caswell and CRKT made this EDC version. However, all of the models are styled after karambits that may be too aggressive for some. The Provoke has been one of the most innovative opening mechanisms to hit the market in the past decade. This EDC fixed blade is based on an original design and features a 2.97-inch D2 blade with resin-infused fiber handle. This year, he has a few designs, including the Razel. Jon Graham has collaborated with CRKT quite a bit to bring his unique chisel-like blade profile to the masses. You’d think it would be too small, but it feels good in the hand. This tiny knife has a 1.75-inch assisted-opening flipper blade with a stonewashed steel handle. This year, CRKT went all in with compact versions of its knives, including the Squid Compact. However, CRKT and Lucas Burnley have slowly built out variations that range from an assisted-opening version to the larger CRKT Squid XM. For years, it existed as one of the best little big knives available. The Squid has been one of the mainstays of the CRKT lineup.

You can see the full list of all new CRKT 2023 knives this year at their website, but these are the 10 that caught our attention the most out of the more than 20 announced. While I haven’t spent an extended time with all of these knives, I was able to get my hands on all of the knives at Shot Show 2023 in Las Vegas this year. Nearly all of the major brands announced their new lineups for the year, and now it’s time to play catch-up on some knives we’re most excited for this year. It’s a new year and that means new knives.
