CRKT Tuna Compact Folding Knife 2-3/4" Drop Point Blade Black

The CRKT Tuna Compact Folding Knife with 2-3/4" drop point blade in black delivers designer Lucas Burnley's acclaimed Tuna architecture in an ultra-compact, everyday-carry profile. This is a purpose-built EDC blade that scales the original design down without compromising the aggressive geometry and cutting performance that makes the Tuna platform stand out among compact folding knives. The drop point blade geometry—sharp, penetrating, and versatile—handles package opening, tactical utility cuts, and general blade work with equal efficiency.

At 2-3/4 inches of blade length and 0.22 lbs total weight, the Tuna Compact sits at the intersection of cutting capability and pocket carry practicality. The compact footprint—4.75 inches closed—meets TSA carry guidelines and fits inside standard duty pants pockets without printing. Black finish resists corrosion and reflectivity, making it suitable for law enforcement, security, and military personnel who need a discreet secondary blade. The drop point shape provides both edge geometry for slicing and point geometry for piercing tasks, eliminating the need to swap knives between duties.

Operators and serious outdoor users favor compact Tuna variants when full-size blades create holster or pocket conflicts. This knife bridges that gap—small enough to carry full-time without weight or bulk, large enough to handle real cutting tasks. Columbia River Knife & Tool has engineered the Tuna line specifically for users who demand premium blade geometry from a minimalist platform. The compact version works for uniformed patrol, plain-clothes carry, off-duty backup, or vehicle emergency kits where discretion and efficiency matter equally.
