Meet the CRKT Orca, a compact, carry-friendly folder that punches well above its weight. With a 1.79-inch D2 steel blade in a sleek satin (silver) finish and a durable black glass-reinforced nylon (GRN) handle, this everyday companion blends premium edge retention with an ultra-manageable size. The liner lock secures the blade with confidence, while the lightweight handle and pocketable profile make the Orca a natural fit for daily carry, travel kits, and small utility tasks.
Why Choose the CRKT Orca?
Sometimes smaller is smarter. The Orca’s sub-2" blade gives you fine control for precision cuts—opening packages, trimming cord, or camp chores—without excess bulk. The D2 tool steel offers excellent wear resistance and long-lived sharpness, and the satin finish adds corrosion mindfulness and clean aesthetics. Paired with a grippy GRN handle and secure liner lock, the Orca is built to work—quietly and reliably—whenever you need it.
