CRKT Xolotl - this folding knife is perfect for everyday carry and has a tactical vibe. It’s about the same size as a ballpoint pen but ready to assist you in all kinds of situations. Designed by Michael Rodriguez in Fayetteville, North Carolina, the inspiration for the Xolotl came from the Aztecs, particularly their deity of the same name.

The blade is made from high-quality 1.4116 stainless steel, sourced from Thyssen Krupp in Germany. This steel is known for its use in industries requiring high hygiene standards, such as medical equipment and pharmaceutical manufacturing, making it a fantastic choice for kitchen knives.

The handle is crafted from G-10, a composite material made from fiberglass and epoxy resin. It’s super durable, waterproof, and impact-resistant. G-10 also takes well to machining and coloring, which is why it's widely used in modern knives.
