It’s a natural fit for a company like ours. That’s why CRKT has called this place home for 21 years. Working with the country’s best designers, we continue to create innovative tools that survive here. Which means they can perform anywhere. We’re partnering with people who take their craft as seriously as we do and are as reliable as a friend in the field. We’re talk- ing of course about Ruger® knives and are happy to have them on board. NEW All of this has led to strong growth for the company. But we realize none of this would be 2016 possible without the freedom provided by our veterans. At CRKT® we care deeply about them. So when Ryan Johnson told us that he’d been privately working with returning combat vets to overcome their PTSD by forging steel into custom tools—we saw a way to give back. In 2016, we’re honored to announce the launch of the Forged By War™ program. The result: mission-ready tools, designed by warriors, with 10% of the CRKT® net profits donated to the veterans’ charity of choice. We’re excited about moving forward into the future and the adventures that are right outside our door. We invite you to join us with confidence in hand. Rod Bremer Founder CRKT.COM 2 NEW 2016 In 2013, Ryan Johnson of RMJ Tactical, designer of elite, military, tactical tomahawks, approached CRKT® with the news that he had been 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 have been designing and forging steel into custom tools. Drawing from their experience earned in combat situations, they have been creating tools they wished they had available to them in the battlefield. CRKT® cares deeply about our returning veterans and we saw a way to give back to the community that created them. In 2016, we’re honored to announce the launch of 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™. See the tools on page 21. 3 CRKT.COM “Ruger is focused on bringing affordable, rugged and reliable products to our consumer base,” said Chris Killoy, Ruger President and COO, “As we looked to expand our licensing program, we knew that we wanted a knife manufacturer that shared these goals. CRKT is a great fit.” The new exclusive Ruger knife line includes designs for everyday carry, hunting, tactical uses, and self-preparedness. Developed by five master knife designers who combine their knowledge of the art with aesthetic details from Ruger firearms.

CRKT.COM 4 Innovation means building the products that will continue to lead, and define, the industry in terms of creativity and utility. It means constantly asking ourselves how we can be better. Integrity is critical to how we’ve chosen to do business. It means interacting with our customers, and each other, honestly and directly. It also means building products that perform reliably, and a brand that behaves consistently, year after year.
