High-Performance SK-5 Steel with Anti-Rust Black Matte Coating
At the heart of the Ramadi is its SK-5 carbon steel blade, chosen for its toughness and edge-holding capability under demanding use. Palmetto State Armory+2MidwayUSA+2
The SK-5 blade offers:
Excellent edge retention for extended cutting tasks
High toughness for batoning, prying in a pinch, and general hard use
Corrosion resistance from the baked-on black coating, helping protect the steel from moisture, sweat, and the elements
This combination makes the Ramadi well-suited for outdoor, utility, and tactical use where reliability matters.
Full-Tang Fixed Blade Strength
The Ramadi is built on a full-tang construction, meaning the steel runs the full length of the knife from tip to butt. Palmetto State Armory+2MidwayUSA+2
Full-tang benefits include:
Maximum structural strength under heavy load
Better balance and control in hand
Increased impact resistance for chopping or tougher field tasks
Overall length is about 8.5", giving you an ideal balance between a compact footprint and a blade that’s big enough for real work. MidwayUSA+1
Coyote Textured G10 Handle – Secure Grip in All Conditions
The handle of the CRKT Ramadi 2083 is made from G10, a layered fiberglass laminate prized for its toughness and weather resistance. foxholearmament.com+3Palmetto State Armory+3MidwayUSA+3
Coyote brown color for a low-viz, field-ready look that pairs well with tactical and outdoor gear
Aggressive texturing for a secure grip with wet, gloved, or muddy hands
Ergonomic shaping to lock the hand in place and reduce fatigue during prolonged use
Lanyard hole at the butt for adding a retention lanyard or dummy cord Smoky Mountain Knife Works+2MidwayUSA+2
Whether you’re carving, cutting rope, processing game, or doing camp chores, the G10 handle inspires confidence and control.
Purpose-Built Blade Shape with Friction Grooves

Key blade features:
Plain edge for easy maintenance and clean slices
Drop point tip that balances piercing strength and control
Slight recurve (on many listings) to help the belly bite into rope, fabric, and other fibrous materials
Friction grooves on the spine to give your thumb extra traction for precision cuts and controlled push-cuts foxholearmament.com+3Palmetto State Armory+3Smoky Mountain Knife Works+3
This geometry makes the Ramadi just as at home doing camp chores, emergency tasks, and everyday cutting as it is riding on a tactical rig.
Lightweight, Ready-To-Carry Design
Despite its robust construction, the Ramadi remains easy to carry all day.
That means you get a full-sized, full-tang fixed blade that doesn’t feel like a brick on your belt, vest, or pack strap.
Durable Sheath with Multiple Carry Options
Every CRKT Ramadi 2083 comes with a rugged molded sheath designed for secure retention and flexible mounting. foxholearmament.com+3knifeworks.com+3Smoky Mountain Knife Works+3
Sheath highlights:
Thermoplastic / molded polymer construction for impact and weather resistance
