Knife inspired by Persian Warriors

Debuting at Blade Show Texas: a Compact Persian pocket buddy? Indeed! I love it when traditional designs are fused with modern takes and the all-new CRKT Compact Ritual does just that. Designed by Alan Folts of Melbourne, FL it is influenced by traditional Persian fixed blades. This is a more compact version of Folt’s previous popular model with CRKT, the “Ritual” folding knife.

The Ritual Compact will make it’s debut at Blade Show Texas and it will be available to the public February 23rd. There will be two variants available, one assisted opening and another premium offering with a manual opening (specs are below).
