Rook Knife

Rated 4.9 out of 5
Based on 28 reviews
Our desert-island-essential pocket knife – zero excess, maxed out quality.
Regular price
Color:


The culmination of more than two years of design and prototyping, The Rook Knife is the one we've always wanted and could never find – a thoroughly distilled construction that strips away the excess. Pocket knives have always possessed some familiar, gravitational power; from the time that we're old enough to understand their value as useful, beautiful, dangerous tools, they hold our imagination - beckoning to be picked up and used. The Rook Knife is a full-metal construction, slimmer than most folding knives, but with greater density and heft.

The Vapor Black version is stainless steel throughout, with a black PVD coating that's super-durable and matte textured. For those inclined towards the dark side, this one's for you.

The Tricolor version features a body that's half brass-half stainless, and a blade that's black PVD coated for a hint of tactical precision. A nod to the classic Craighill color/material palette, it's an unusual blend that works shockingly well. The brass side is left untreated and will develop a natural patina – the more you use it, the brighter it will stay.

The Rook’s simplicity is also its refinement.

Small Strong and elegant with beautiful lines. It slides easily into the watch pocket of my jeans

A true gentleman’s pocket knife

The simplicity and efficiency of the frame lock is very convenient. The minimal design is exactly what I was looking for and the tri-color looks great. I’m a lefty and it feels great in my hand. Very solidly made and if it stands the test of time this knife is easily a 5 star gentleman’s pocket knife all day.
