The CRKT Slag Folding Knife was designed for people who want a compact knife that feels solid every time it comes out of the pocket. Designed by Russ Kommer, it combines durable materials with fast, dependable operation for everyday cutting jobs.

The D2 steel blade offers strong edge retention, making it well suited to tasks such as cutting rope, opening cartons, trimming materials, and general outdoor use. Assisted opening works alongside the IKBS ball bearing pivot system to deliver quick, smooth deployment using either the flipper or thumb stud.

A stainless steel handle gives the knife a reassuring weight and sturdy feel without adding unnecessary bulk. The frame lock uses a thick lock bar to help secure the blade during use, while the oxide blade finish adds durability and a clean working appearance.

Good knives tend to earn their place through regular use rather than flashy features. The Slag focuses on practical performance, smooth handling, and dependable construction. Easy to carry, quick to deploy, and built for everyday cutting tasks when reliability matters most.
