Ruger® RTD Knife by CRKT®

May 7, 2018

The RTD is named for and inspired by the Ruger® 10/22 Takedown®. Designed by Matthew Lerch and featuring Ken Onion’s innovative Field Strip Technology, it can be taken apart for easy cleaning and maintenance when out in the field or at the range. This folding knife has a textured glass-reinforced nylon handle with clip and locking liner for secure lockup while in use.

The RTD is part of the exclusive Ruger® knife line; the line includes designs for everyday carry, hunting, tactical uses and self-preparedness. The knives are crafted in varying sizes and finishes, with an assortment of blade edges. Developed by eight master knife-smiths who combined their knowledge of the art with aesthetic details from Ruger® firearms, the line offers unique knives with the important features that every good knife should have. These knives are purpose built to be durable and highly functional in the environments where Ruger customers will expect them to perform.

Manufactured by CRKT® under license from Sturm, Ruger & Co., Inc.
