CRKT knives are produced in the USA and in international factories, mainly in China and Taiwan, where state-of-the-art technology and specialised workers are available. During production, the blades undergo heat treatment to improve their hardness and resistance to wear. This process involves controlled heating and cooling to optimise the mechanical properties of the steel.

CRKT has a rigorous quality control process to ensure that each knife meets the company's high standards. Each knife is visually inspected and tested for sharpness, strength and the operation of the opening and closing mechanisms. Only knives that pass all the quality tests are approved for sale.
