CRKT Redemption Compact Taschenmesser

Old West character meets modern utility in a compact package.

The Redemption® Compact is based on legendary knifemaker Ken Onion’s Deadman’s Hand custom, a tribute to the knives carried by the outlaws and poker players of the Wild West and named after the aces-and-eights hand Wild Bill Hickok purportedly held at the time of his death. The all-black Redemption® Compact features a 3.28” spear point MagnaCut blade with a black Cerakote finish for exceptional edge retention and corrosion resistance. Like the full-size version, the Compact is made in the U.S.A. in collaboration with Hogue Knives, and features an ambidextrous Crossbar Lock and reversible pocket clip for secure carry. The black stainless steel bolster seamlessly blends with the G10 handle scales and black hardware. The blade is sharp on a single edge and disappears entirely into the handle when closed, perfect for slipping into your boot before heading out to the frontier.
