CRKT Onion Helical — a sleek and minimalist knife designed by the renowned Ken Onion. The blade features a traditional tanto shape, giving it an eastern flair. It comes with a handy flipper that seamlessly tucks away beneath the handle scales when opened.

The blade is made from 8Cr13MoV steel, a solid choice for both everyday use and survival situations. While it doesn’t offer stellar performance, it delivers respectable characteristics for its price point. The steel resists corrosion well, shows decent wear resistance, and provides good cutting performance, though it doesn't quite match the benchmarks set by higher-end alloys.

The handle is crafted from aluminum, which is both durable and lightweight. The surface is fairly smooth, yet the thoughtful handle geometry ensures that the knife stays securely in your grip.
