CRKT Septimo

Born of Flames. Seriously. The CRKT Septimo Multi-Tool is a tactical to everyday carry crossover designed by a seasoned Green Beret to be more than a convenience—he forged it of experience to serve as a lifeline. A tanto blade with one Veff Serration for exceptional strap cutting ability, pairs with a Philips and flathead screwdriver, bottle opener, glass breaker, and adjustable wrench to create this deployment-prepared powerhouse.

Jeremy Valdez of Olalla, Washington brings experience and time served in the 7th Special Forces Group to the aptly named Septimo Multi-Tool; a tribute meaning “seventh” in Spanish. Designed in the spirit of his tactical folding knife by the same name, the main motivation for this multi-tool design arises from his 2009 deployment to Afghanistan. During operations, Jeremy was involved in a helicopter crash. In the chaotic aftermath, the small folder he had failed to perform when he was cutting straps and moving debris while pulling fellow soldiers out of the burning, tangled chopper wreckage.

Duty to his fallen comrades and brothers and sisters in arms drove him to design the Septimo and now the Septimo Multi-Tool variation with a thumb stud opening, a desert-proof black oxide finish, and friction points on the handle to help deal with inclement conditions. It was given a single Veff Serration for impressively effective strap cutting ability.

In addition to the powerful blade, the Septimo Multi-Tool features both a Phillips and flathead screwdriver, a bottle opener, and an adjustable wrench with a strong glass breaker.

Some are born of novelty. The Septimo is born of purpose.
