The Rook Knife is the one we've always wanted and could never find – a thoroughly distilled folding knife that strips away the excess, yet still somehow feels both distinctive and entirely familiar.
Pocket knives have always possessed some magical, gravitational power in the world. From the time that we're old enough to understand their value as useful, beautiful, dangerous tools, they hold us in their grip, beckoning to be picked up and wielded.
But a knife is not a toy. They demand care, attention, and caution – to own one is to accept responsibility for the potential energy contained within.
The culmination of more than two years of design and prototyping, the Rook Knife is a frame lock folding knife with S35VN blade steel, a drop point blade, and a flipper mechanism for easy one-handed opening. Constructed entirely from metal, it's slimmer than most folding knives, but with greater density and heft.
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.

Simple, elegant and understated. A little bit of pop with the brass and black blade. Overall an excellent addition to my EDC, will replace my current blade for foreseeable future.

This is exactly the knife I've wanted for quite some time. It's heavy due to the quality of materials, but very small; about the right size for the pocketwatch pocket in a pair of jeans. The knife opens and closes with precision and a satisfying click. The colors and finishes are sharp and interesting. I can finally have a functional pocket knife on me at all times without any of those gaudy, ugly clips, or unnecessary features. I hope this knife continues to be in my EDC for many years.

Having purchased the Microblade collaboration with WESN, saw the Rook announcement and figured this would be a fitting companion. Own over a dozen boutique and custom knives, this is my new favorite. Buttery smooth action for one-handed deployment, and perfect pocketable size for not getting lost. Hats off to the Craighill team, this is the greatest addition yet to an incredible 2021!
