Inspired by an ancient Aztec deity, built for the modern world. Adorned in details yet powerfully simple, the Xolotl™ /show-low-tl/ is an everyday carry folding knife with a tactical spirit. It hardly occupies more space than a fountain pen but comes out swinging with a fast flipper opening and a sleek, spear-point blade. From the 14th century battlefield to the modern pocket, the Xolotl™ is the knife to have on hand.
The blade has one sharp and one false edge that converge in a strong spear point best for fine slicing. A solid flipper is designed for fast opening and a liner lock holds the blade firmly in place even amid hard use. A detailed sternum-shaped clip carries the Aztecian story and allows for a discreet carry in a pocket or on MOLLE systems.
About the Forged By War® Program
In 2013, Ryan Johnson of RMJ Tactical, designer of elite, military, tactical tomahawks, approached CRKT® with the news that he had been working with a few combat veterans that had returned from war with varying degrees of post-traumatic stress (PTS).
To help work through their challenges, they have been designing and forging steel into custom tools. Drawing from their experience earned in combat situations, they have been creating tools they wished they had available to them in the battlefield.
CRKT® cares deeply about our returning veterans and we saw a way to give back to the community that created them. In 2016, we launched the Forged By War® program.
These are mission ready tools, designed by veterans, with a portion of the proceeds donated to the veterans' charity of choice.
