Reviews from the KRATE Crew
Real feedback from people who carry and use their knives every day.
Joe G.
I’ve had Benchmade and Microtech OTF knives and appreciate the quality of both manufacturers. This knife, however, has sent the other two knifes to the dresser drawer and has become my absolute favorite. Phenomenal build quality and opens smooth as butter.
Larry C.
I have purchased several high end name brand OTF knives and after purchasing my first Krate, I don’t anticipate purchasing any of the other brands again. The quality is every bit as good as the $300-$400 knives purchased previously. I also love the new color options.
Chris B.
It’s rare to find such quality at a great price these days.
The Krate OTF knife is my new EDC. Solid, functional construction and built to last.
