The CRKT K245BKP Homefront Compact delivers premium cutting performance in a streamlined everyday carry package. This tactical folding knife combines premium S35VN steel with a compact 2.91-inch blade optimized for versatility and retention. The black DLC coating enhances corrosion resistance while reducing glare for discrete carry.

What Makes This Different

The Homefront Compact stands apart through its use of premium S35VN stainless steel, a powder metallurgy steel that maintains superior edge retention compared to standard 440C or AUS-8 alternatives. The black Diamond-Like Carbon coating provides exceptional wear resistance and reduces maintenance requirements. At 2.91 inches, the blade length maximizes cutting capability while remaining legal in most jurisdictions with restrictive blade length laws.

Key Features

  • Premium S35VN stainless steel blade with exceptional edge retention and corrosion resistance
  • Black DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) coating for enhanced durability and reduced reflectivity
  • Compact 2.91-inch blade length optimized for EDC and legal compliance
  • Black and tan G10 handle scales providing secure grip in wet conditions
  • Frame lock mechanism with steel lockbar insert for reliable blade security
  • Pocket clip positioned for tip-up carry and quick deployment
  • Overall closed length designed for comfortable pocket carry
Field testing demonstrates consistent performance across temperature ranges from -20°F to 120°F without lock failure or blade play. The S35VN steel composition (1.40% carbon, 14% chromium, 3% vanadium) delivers measurable edge retention improvements over conventional stainless steels. The G10 handle material maintains grip security in wet conditions while resisting impact damage during demanding use scenarios.
