Crkt Kith 2.95" Plain Edge

The CRKT Kith 2.95" Plain Edge is a purpose-built everyday carry and tactical folder designed by veteran knifemaker Ken Steigerwalt for professionals who demand intuitive deployment under stress. This knife bridges traditional midlock and backlock design philosophy with an innovative front lock mechanism, making it ideal for law enforcement, military personnel, and serious civilian operators who prioritize reliable blade access and secure closure during dynamic operations.

The front lock design is the cornerstone of the Kith's performance advantage—it positions the locking bar forward, allowing one-handed deployment that feels second-nature even in low-light or high-stress scenarios. The 2.95-inch plain edge blade geometry provides optimal edge retention and slicing capability without the maintenance demands of serrated edges, while the compact 4.75-inch closed length (weighing just 0.19 lbs) ensures this knife remains unobtrusive on belt or pocket carry. The Kith's proportions and lock geometry are engineered for positive control and secure hold during cutting, prying, or tactical applications where hand fatigue matters.

This knife excels for patrol officers, federal agents, military personnel, and EDC-focused civilians who value ergonomic deployment and trustworthy blade security. The plain edge configuration makes the Kith equally effective for utility cuts, evidence handling, and tactical scenarios without sacrificing everyday practicality. Compatible with standard pocket clip carry, the Kith integrates seamlessly into minimalist kit setups and works across varying environments—from structured duty gear to plain-clothes operations—making it a versatile choice for professionals who refuse to compromise on blade reliability or deployment speed.
