Where minimal design meets maximum utility—just a little bit bigger. With a larger blade and a handsome stonewash finish, the CRKT Pilar® Large keeps the spirit of the bestselling original and the epic tale behind its name. It’s understated when tucked away, and carefully designed to punch above its weight when in use.

Jesper Voxnaes designed the Pilar® to be a reliable everyday carry and named it after Ernest Hemingway’s beloved boat—the 38-foot long vessel that he used for renegade surveillance of German U-boats during WWII in Caribbean waters. The world-famous author was also a WWI combat vet, big-game hunter, sailor, and fisherman, and certainly would have selected an everyday knife companion like the Pilar® Large for his daily endeavors.

The hardworking blade features a stonewash finish and the strong tip is useful for more detailed tasks. It’s deployed from its stainless steel handle with a thumb slot opening option as well as a flipper mechanism and is secured with a frame lock for your safety.

The modern Hemingway needs a modern knife. The Pilar® Large is the perfect fit.
