If you think a knife can’t be beautiful, the Craighill Sidewinder Knife Deluxe will make you think again. This isn’t just an EDC tool—it’s a kinetic sculpture with edge. Building on the wildly successful original Sidewinder that made waves for its mesmerizing action and satisfying hand feel, the Craighill Deluxe version steps things up with polished stainless steel and six shimmering abalone inlays on each side of the hilt. The inlays catch the light as you move, offering an ever-shifting visual experience that repeatedly begs to be flipped open again and again.

Born from a collaboration with design wizards Chen Chen & Kai Williams, the Craighill Sidewinder Knife Deluxe maintains the same 2.5-inch blade and smooth liner lock mechanism but injects serious luxury into the mix. Each knife is meticulously assembled with a 12C27N steel blade and finished with the same care you’d expect from a boutique collector’s piece.

Originally a Kickstarter sensation with over 6,000 backers, the Sidewinder Knife Deluxe is now available to the public—so you don’t have to be in the know to get your hands on one. At 5.6 ounces and $228, it’s an everyday carry for those who appreciate precision, function, and a dose of artistic flair in their gear.
