CRKT Butte Assisted Folding Knife 3-3/8" Clip Point Blade FDE

The CRKT Butte Assisted Folding Knife with 3-3/8" Clip Point Blade in FDE is a modern classic designed by renowned knife engineer Lucas Burnley, blending traditional hunting knife aesthetics with contemporary materials and deployment mechanisms. This is a purpose-built folder engineered for tactical users, field professionals, and serious knife enthusiasts who demand both reliable cutting performance and smooth, repeatable deployment in the field.

The Butte's 3-3/8-inch clip point blade geometry delivers versatile cutting capability—the straight edge excels at controlled slicing and precision cuts, while the forward-swept tip provides access to tight spaces and materials. Weighing just 0.37 pounds with a closed length of 5.85 inches, the knife maintains a compact pocket profile without sacrificing blade real estate. The assisted opening mechanism provides snappy, tactile deployment—a critical feature for users who need reliable, one-handed access during rapid task transitions or when a hand is occupied. The FDE (Flat Dark Earth) finish provides low-reflectivity corrosion resistance, making it suited for extended outdoor operations where visibility must be minimized.

The Butte is built for users who require predictable blade deployment without fumbling—patrol officers, search and rescue personnel, backcountry professionals, and serious outdoorsmen. The contoured handle design delivers positive tactile feedback and secure purchase, critical during sustained cutting tasks or emergency scenarios where control cannot be compromised. This is the knife for professionals and enthusiasts who recognize that a folding blade must perform like a fixed blade when it matters.

Columbia River Knife & Tool's design philosophy integrates proven hunting knife proportions with modern deployment systems—the Butte represents that intersection of traditional reliability and contemporary engineering. For tactical users evaluating assisted folders designed to earn trust in the field, the CRKT Butte delivers proven performance from a brand trusted by operators and outdoor professionals.
