CRKT 4037 Razel Fixed Blade Pocket Knife

The CRKT 4037 Razel: A Working Man's Fixed Blade

The Razel represents a thoughtful approach to pocket knife design—a tool built for those who actually use their knives. This is not a showpiece; it's a working instrument.

Design and Functionality

The defining feature of the Razel is its squared chisel blade geometry. This unconventional design delivers genuine utility:

• Push cutting — The flat edge excels at controlled slicing tasks
• Scraping — The squared profile handles scraping duties with authority
• Slicing — Precise cuts in a variety of materials

This blade shape gives the Razel multi-tool qualities that distinguish it from conventional pocket knives. It's a design born from practical experience, not marketing trends.

Materials and Construction

The 2.97-inch blade is forged from D2 steel, a tool steel known for excellent edge retention. D2 holds a sharp edge longer than softer stainless steels, reducing the frequency of sharpening. This matters when you're using your knife daily.

The handle is constructed from resin-infused fiber—a material that balances durability with refined aesthetics. The contoured design fits naturally in the hand, providing both comfort and control during extended use.

Carry and Deployment

The Razel ships with a hard thermoplastic pocket sheath, ensuring secure carry and quick access when you need it. This is a fixed-blade knife, meaning no folding mechanism—the blade is always ready and there's nothing to fail.

The Bottom Line

The CRKT Razel is for those who understand that a knife is a tool first and foremost. If you work with your hands—whether in a shop, on a job site, or in the field—this knife earns its place in your pocket.
