The CRKT Minimal X Frame Lock Folding Pocket Knife brings space-grade inspiration directly to your everyday carry collection. Designed by Darriel Caston of D Rocket Design, this compact tool evolved from a custom knife series originally commissioned for SpaceX rocket crew members. The core concept was to pack maximum strength and durability into the smallest possible package, creating a tool ready to go anywhere, even into space.
Engineered for smooth action, it features a flipper system built with internal IKBS ball bearings, letting you open the blade effortlessly with a single finger. A reliable frame lock keeps the blade securely locked during use, while the stainless steel handle offers a sleek, heavy-duty feel in the hand.
The blade is made of 12C27 stainless steel, measuring 55.6 mm long and 3.2 mm thick. With an overall open length of 134.5 mm, the knife folds down to just 79 mm and weighs a light 74 g, making it a remarkably practical pocket tool with a unique aerospace backstory.
