Product Description
Look familiar? It should.
The Daktyl non-traditional pocket knife is seriously bare bones; we’re talking phalanges here. It’s named after a finger for a reason: set it in motion with one quick action and watch the jaws drop.
Oregon designer and inventor Tom Hitchcock rejoins the ranks with this impressive feat of engineering. Feel like you’ve seen it before? That’s because it pays homage to the Hole In One side opener that owned the scene when it was in production a few years ago. The Daktyl is choosy though. It takes only the best of the previous design, adds the Slide Lock innovation, and reduces the already-minimal part count.
Opening and closing the blade is similar to the action on the Daktyl predecessor. To open, simply press the front lever mechanism with your thumb and rotate the blade outward until it fully extends and securely clicks into place. To close the knife, press down on the lever to disengage, then swing the blade back into the closed position.
The Daktyl comes with an added security measure—the Slide Lock mechanism. When the knife is in the closed position, sliding the lever at the top of the handle backwards clicks it into place and reduces the chance of it opening unexpectedly. When open, sliding the lever forward locks it into place, which is exactly where it’ll stay until you reverse the procedure to disengage and return it to the closed position. As an added bonus, the blade is completely ambidextrous, rotating both to the right and to the left.
The new modified wharncliffe blade is so unique we had to give it a new name too. Meet the “Hitchcock” blade style. Best at fine-tip tasks and stellar at slicing, it’s a versatile blade in a compact package. Attach it to your belt loop or, even better, crack open a beer with the carabiner at the pivot end of the closed blade.
The digit is the evolutionary advancement that sent us straight to the top of the food chain. Likewise, this powerful design boosts the Daktyl to the top of the EDC pack.

This model is sturdy, and once locked in place there is no play in the blade.
It is my every day carry knife, and I don't leave home with it.
If I have to petition CRKT to bring this model, or a subsequent model back into production it would be work it. Since it's been discontinued, the prices of this model have skyrocketed, but I'm honestly still tempted to fork over the cash to get another. I have use this knife from everything as cutting roofing tar to cleaning my cuticles. It is a beautiful knife and the side opening mechanism is very unique.
BRING BACK THE DAKTYL CRKT!
Seriously, it is so cool. Great knife, very solid (as opposed to what that other stupid stupid-head wrote), very sharp, it's got a bottle opener, it's super lightweight, it's my new EDC knife. But the real point is: It is the coolest knife in the world. You will automatically become 30% cooler if you carry it.
*Customer Service sent me a new one immediately, (I thought I edited my review but I guess I didnt) My former one must have been a used one returned, because this one was alot tighter, and functioned excellent, especially after a little oil, Quality craftmanship, and a unique knife. beautifully made. With a littel practice it comes out smoothly and back into the handle.
PS: unless you want Trolls trying to make fun of you give this knife 4-5 stars, or else people get butthurt.
I never had a problem without the extra opening step on the release, but I guess this is safer.
Anyway, this knife is great for an every day carry in the pocket knife, and as an enthusiastic consumer of bottled beer, is a great knife for me.

Couteau léger qui se laisse oublier dans la poche, belle finition, très bon tranchant, facile à affuter (à la pâte et au cuir) et la sécurité est simple mais très astucieuse et pratique. Après 5 minutes ouverture et fermeture s'exécute aussi bien de la main gauche que droite.
J'ai fabriqué un petit étui en Kydex, histoire de le mettre autour du cou. C'est simple depuis l'achat, il ne me quitte plus.
Franchement, je suis très content de mon achat et sans hésiter si je venais à le perdre, j'en rachèterai un de suite...
La personne a qui je l'ai offert est content de son cadeau, et s'est entraîné pour essayer de l'ouvrir à une main au point de devenir acro.
Un petit problème de livraison de mon colis à cause de la poste (toujours introuvable, paie à son âme), finalement réglé par le SAV d'amazon, qui m'en a renvoyé un autre en chrono, merci. Au top.
