The CRKT Altai fixed blade is a hunting knife inspired by Spartan Precision Equipment founder Rob Gearing’s hunt in Mongolia’s Altai Mountains. Designed in collaboration with the makers of the most trusted stability shooting platforms in the game, it carries Spartan influence throughout—from the carbon-fiber-inspired handle texture to the signature Spartan head on the handle pins and hits of hi-vis orange that make it easy to spot when light fades and conditions turn rough.

The Altai features a blade just under 4 inches long—an ideal length for control and easy reference when field dressing an animal. The blade is crafted from 14C28N steel with a durable ceramic coating for corrosion resistance, toughness, and edge retention. A striking notch on the spine pairs with the included ferro rod to help get fire started when the day runs long, while the included ceramic rod makes backcountry touch-ups simple and fast.

Jimping on the finger choil, spine, and rear handle provides added grip and tactile reference in hand. A ringed pommel delivers a swift, secure draw—even with gloves on—and a hole in the pommel is ready for a fob or additional retention setup.
