CRKT Launches Two New Knives in the Forged by War Collection

Saturday, November 2nd, 2024

Both the Xolotl fixed blade and Du Hoc with the Deadbolt lock are part of CRKT’s Forged by War program, which since its inception has generated $500,000 for the designers charities of choice.

Xolotl Fixed Blade

Named after the Aztec god of fire and lightning, amd designed by my friend, SF Veteran Michael Rodriguez, it’s a fixed-blade version of his folding Xolotl™ /show-lo-tl/. It features a spear-point blade with a dagger grind that’s sharp on both sides. Veff Serrations provide powerful rope-cutting performance and the durable sheath offers multiple mounting options.

Du Hoc Deadbolt

Designed by 101st Abn Div Veteran Austin McGlaun, the Du Hoc is named in remembrance of his uncle’s D-Day landing at Pointe du Hoc. The Karambit is a pocketable folding knife which relies on a Deadbolt lock and a small, but still generou, 3.6-inch blade. Armed with Assisted Opening, the blade can be rapidly deployed with either the flipper or thumb stud. The G10 handle with thumb ring aids ergonomics and provides an extra secure grip.
