Designed by Ken Onion, the CRKT Homefront combines vintage WWII aesthetics with modern folding knife technology. It features a 3.5-inch modified drop point blade crafted from Sandvik 12C27 steel for exceptional edge retention, paired with a lightweight aircraft-grade aluminum handle and tank tread-inspired backstrap jimping for a secure grip.

Equipped with an assisted opening mechanism and an IKBS ball bearing pivot system, the blade deploys rapidly and smoothly using the bayonet lug-style flipper. A reliable liner lock ensures safe one-handed closing, while the deep-carry pocket clip allows for discreet everyday carry.
