CRKT Piet

Description

Designer Jesper Voxnaes is far from the only artist to be inspired by the quirkiness that is Portland, Oregon. He’s certainly the first to create a folding knife so slim, lightweight, and perfectly suited for the working environment.

Typically, Jesper designs his custom creations in his shop in Loegstrup, Denmark. The CRKT Piet /peet/, though, was first sketched in Portland International Airport on the heels of his first-ever visit to the city. With a satin finish and a flat grind, the drop point blade is tough yet lightweight, it’ll fly under the radar until it’s time to tackle some packaging. It’s perfectly balanced by a compact yet highly ergonomic glass-reinforced nylon handle and a deep-carry clip that makes it fit perfectly in the pocket of work pants. The blade deploys quickly with an oversized thumb hole and is held securely in place with a locking liner.

Bike, backpack, Piet and you’re off to work.
