The CRKT Pilar is the result of one of the most popular collaborations between CRKT and designer Jesper Voxnaes to produce durable knives that look way more impressive than their price tag would suggest. It’s a compact EDC folder that’s packed with features and design you’d expect in a much more expensive knife.
Vox’s minimal, nordic-inspired designs are both functional and tough. Sandwiched between two stainless steel handles is a 2.4” blade made from 8Cr13MoV steel. The small blade is easy to control, and the unique bevels add both strength and visual appeal. Since the knife is on the smaller side, there’s a generous index finger choil between the blade and handles ensure you can get a secure grip. The Pilar’s blade stays in place with an integrated frame lock system that has an interesting engraved pattern where the steel is thinned out.
Carry options include a two-way pocket clip to accommodate most carry preferences and a lanyard hole. It’s available right now at a steal price of $18, so if you’ve been looking for a high-performance EDC knife on a budget, now’s your chance to pick one up at the Amazon link below.
