The Crux – MagnaCut Rescue and Utility Knife.

The benchmark for what a PFD mounted knife should be.

Meet the Crux—our most advanced rescue knife to date. Built from ultra-corrosion-resistant MagnaCut steel and fully skeletonized for weight savings, this is the mac daddy of all PFD-mounted tools. Whether you’re punching through a coastal inlet or locked into a Class V slot, the Crux was made to ride shotgun on the kind of missions where your knife has to be as dialed as the rest of your kit.

This is a purpose-built tool, born in Maine and made for the water—from the salt-sprayed Atlantic to your local steep creek. 

Key Features

• MagnaCut Blade Steel – The gold standard for saltwater performance. High corrosion resistance, high hardness, no compromises.

• Ultralight Skeletonized Handle – Slim, weight-cut profile with secure grip when wet or gloved.

• Blunt & Drop Point Options – Available in both tip profiles for your mission-specific preference.

• Made for the PFD – Compatible with our Lash Tab Clip, MOLLE bracket, and paracord/zip tie mounts. Built to stay put in the chaos.

• Highly Retentive Kydex Sheath – Included with every Crux. Molded in-house for rock-solid retention without the need for gimmicky screws. Snaps in with confidence and stays put until you need it.
  

• No BS. All function. – No gimmicks. No unnecessary features. Just a knife that does its job—beautifully.

Who It's For

• Guides, paddlers, and water pros who demand the best.
