CRKT Cottidae Folding Knife 2 3/5" Blade Black

The CRKT Cottidae Folding Knife 2.6" Blade Black is a purpose-built everyday carry blade designed for mechanics, technicians, and field operators who demand reliability in dirty-work environments. Built by Columbia River Knife & Tool, this compact folding knife strips away unnecessary complexity to deliver a straightforward, no-nonsense cutting tool for shop work, maintenance tasks, and tactical applications.

Incorporating CRKT's Field Strip Gen II technology, the Cottidae enables complete disassembly without tools for field cleaning and maintenance—a critical advantage in tactical and professional environments where contamination and debris accumulation compromise blade function. The black blade finish resists corrosion and eliminates light reflection, while the knife's design ensures it remains lightweight at just 0.22 pounds.

Law enforcement personnel, military operators, and professional mechanics benefit most from this knife's rapid deployment and tool-free maintenance capability. The Cottidae excels in EDC (everyday carry) configurations where space is limited but cutting reliability is non-negotiable, making it an essential tool for those who require performance in demanding conditions.
