The tribulation they endured for the promise of discovery is inspiring and reflective of all that we love about this great country. The fact that some of their greatest experiences took place in our rugged backyard makes us proud that CRKT® has called Oregon home for over 20 years. The drive to push forward into new frontiers has always fueled so much of what we do here at CRKT®—this year was no exception. We’re humbled by the creativity and know- how of the world-class designers we work with who take their craft as seriously as we do. On this note, we’re proud to have recently unveiled a game-changing innovation in Ken Onion’s Field Strip Technology. Beyond working with creative and inspiring independent designers, we’ve found ourselves in excellent company due to our growing partnership with Ruger®. We’re lucky to have found people with whom we share fundamental values, and the drive to continue creating NEW and delivering tools that satisfy our customers needs. 2017 We’re not content simply working for ourselves, though. We recognize that none of this would be possible without the brave men and women in arms, so one of our core missions is to give back. Years ago, when Ryan Johnson told us he’d been privately working with returning combat vets to help them cope with PTSD by designing and creating custom tools, we jumped at the chance to help. We ofcially launched the Forged By War® program in 2016 and continue to produce mission-ready tools, designed by warriors, with a portion of the CRKT® profits donated to the veterans’ charities of choice. To top it of, we closed out the year with a brand-new website. Finally, our site reflects the aesthetics and capabilities of our tools. We’re looking forward to the year ahead and thank you for being a part of our journey.

DRIVEN BY DUTY. THIS IS FORGED BY WAR.® In 2013, Ryan Johnson of RMJ Tactical, designer of elite, military, tactical tomahawks, approached CRKT® with the news that he had been privately working with a few combat veterans that had returned from war with varying degrees of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). To help work through their challenges, they had been forging steel into custom tools they wish they had available to them in the battle field. At times they worked in Ryan’s workshop; others on their own in garages, and even backyards. CRKT® cares deeply about our returning veterans and we saw a way to give back to the community that created them. That’s why we launched the Forged By War® program. These are mission ready tools, designed by warriors, with 10% of the CRKT® net profits donated to the veterans’ charity of choice. Mission ready tools that are…Forged By War®.
