CRKT H74 2924.CR knife 12cm blade black G10 handle + case

A tactical knife with a design inspired by Japanese swords

The CRKT H74 2924.CR fixed knife has a blade designed for professionals and martial arts enthusiasts alike. Imagined by designer James Williams, an expert in combat techniques, this knife is inspired by the Hira-Zukuri style, a traditional form of Japanese saber. With its 12cm SK5 carbon steel blade and black G10 handle, it offers exceptional cutting performance and a secure grip.

A powerful, highly efficient blade

The tactical knife features a 12cm blade made of SK5 carbon steel, a Japanese alloy highly appreciated for its strength and aggressive cutting performance. The steel contains almost 0.9% carbon, enabling it to achieve an excellent hardness of around 62 HRC, while remaining relatively easy to sharpen. This alloy is highly prized for tactical knives or survival blades, as it retains a powerful cutting edge even after intensive use.

• SK5 carbon steel: rich in carbon, perfect for powerful cuts

• ~62 HRC: excellent wear resistance
• High cutting

• : ideal for demanding tasks
• Corrosion sensitivity: compensated by a black titanium nitride coating, which protects the blade and gives it a discreet appearance
• Persian profile: curved shape for better cutting effect and increased insertion capacity

This combination of materials and design makes the H74 knife as effective as it is reliable, whether in tactical, training or demanding utility situations.

Ergonomic handle for optimum grip

The 10.5cm black G10 handle gives you a CRKT knife with a comfortable grip, even in difficult conditions. Its non-slip texture and slightly curved shape enable precise handling, even when wearing gloves.

To transport and store your knife, it comes with a rigid sheath made of Kydex®, a thermoplastic material widely used in military and tactical applications. Kydex® is a PVC-reinforced composite material renowned for its resistance to shock,humidity, temperature variations andabrasion:

• Lightweight and robust: the sheath effectively protects the blade when worn
• Water- and solvent-resistant: perfect for humid environments
• Secure hold: the knife stays firmly in place thanks to the molded fit

Caring for the sheath:

• Simply clean with lukewarm soapy water and a soft brush to remove any dust or residue
• Avoid aggressive or abrasive detergents which could dull the surface
• Let dry in the open air, without direct heat

Compact and secure, this case is ideal for discreet carrying, with a variety of mounting options.

CRKT: sharp collaborations and sharp ideas

Since 1994, CRKT has cultivated a simple philosophy: trust designers with their hands in the practical. The American brand prefers to anticipate trends rather than follow them, developing knives designed to be used, not collected. Each model is the fruit of a partnership with an expert in the field, whether military, blacksmith or instructor. The result? Knives of meticulous design, sturdiness and functionality. The CRKT H74, with its Japanese sword-inspired lines, is no exception.
