Description
The CRKT Pilar is a compact everyday-carry folding knife designed by Danish knifemaker Jesper Voxnaes and built around a 2.4″ sheepsfoot blade in 8Cr13MoV stainless steel with a clean satin finish. The high-carbon stainless blade takes and holds a working edge well and is flat ground for a fine tip and clean slicing performance on common daily tasks.
Deployment is handled by a thumb slot for smooth, dependable one-handed opening. The plain-edge blade geometry leans toward fine, controlled cutting work. Closed length is 3.53″ and the knife opens to an overall length of 5.94″, making the Pilar a true compact folder that disappears in a pocket.
The handle is built on a 2Cr13 stainless steel frame with a bead-blasted gray finish and a robust frame lock for solid lockup under use. A reversible pocket clip is included for tip-up carry on either side, along with a lanyard hole for traditional tethering. Total weight is a lightweight 4.20 oz, keeping the Pilar comfortable for all-day carry.
Designed as a minimalist EDC that pairs premium-feeling design with an accessible price point, the Columbia River 5311 Pilar is a popular choice for anyone looking for a slim, modern folder that handles common everyday cutting tasks with ease.
