Crkt Stickler 3.38" Plain Edge

The Crkt Stickler 3.38" Plain Edge is a compact folding knife purpose-built for anglers, boaters, and outdoor enthusiasts who demand reliable cutting performance in marine environments. Drawing inspiration from vintage melon testers and traditional coffin jack designs, this knife combines classic aesthetics with modern functionality. Whether you're cutting bait, trimming line, or handling rope aboard your vessel, the Stickler delivers fast deployment and secure handling when seconds count on the water.

Built by Columbia River Knife & Tool (CRKT), the Stickler features a 3.38-inch plain edge blade that remains concealed within a durable cobalt blue handle when folded. The knife employs Assisted Opening technology, enabling smooth, rapid blade deployment with a single hand—critical when you're managing tackle, gear, or rope in confined spaces or challenging weather. The plain edge design eliminates the need for maintenance sharpening between trips, making it ideal for salt and freshwater use where corrosion resistance and minimal upkeep are essential.

This knife excels for boat operators, fishing guides, charter crews, and recreational anglers who value portability without sacrificing cutting capability. The compact 5.62-inch overall length and lightweight 0.25 lb construction fit easily in tackle boxes, deck bags, or pocket sheaths without adding bulk to your gear load. The plain edge blade performs equally well on wet or dry tasks, from filleting and bait prep to emergency cutting situations, making it an indispensable tool for any serious angler's marine knife collection.
