CRKT

Paul Gillespi and Rod Bremer were knife enthusiasts. Both worked at Kershaw Knives before taking the plunge into self-employment and founding CRKT Knives (Columbia River Knife and Tool) in 1994 in the US state of Oregon, an area in the northwestern part of the country. An area with many forests and a tradition of knife making steeped in history. From the very beginning, the company endeavored to bring advanced technology and innovative products to the market. It took three years for the entrepreneurs to introduce their first product, the K.I.S.S. knife (Keep it super simple). The pocket knife was sold out after just a few days! Columbia River Knife & Tool impresses above all with its ;exciting design and high functionality. To achieve this, the company has worked together with the best designers and experienced knife manufacturers. The results are impressive. These are knives of outstanding quality that are simply a feast for the eyes. Knife lovers around the world will notice this positively.

Since its foundation, the company has invested all its energy in creating knives and multitools that prove useful in any situation and environment and can solve any task. The company has 15 patents pending and is the developer of technologies such as the AutoLAWKS safety system, the IKBS pivot point system and the OutBurst opening mechanism. The products are manufactured using state-of-the-art technology. Every day, professionals and knife experts test the products in practice. Only when everyone - designer, manufacturer and he - is satisfied does a knife receive the CRKT stamp. CRKT has the right knife, the perfect multitools for every requirement: from tactical missions, hunting and survival to home and garden.
