THE O.C.T. Pocket Knife – OD Green
Meet the O.C.T. (Old College Try) — Knafs’ first-ever button lock knife and the start of a new chapter.
If the Lander line was our Apollo mission, the O.C.T. is our Space Shuttle: compact, capable, and built to launch the next generation of makers and adventurers.
Designed in-house by Matt Fitzgerald and mentored by Ben, the O.C.T. was born during late-night sessions at Utah State University. What started as cardboard prototypes and a challenge to “give it the old college try” became two full rounds of prototyping, countless ergonomic refinements, and a commitment to building a small knife that still feels secure in hand.
The result? A compact, fidget-friendly button lock that feels bigger than it looks.
Built in collaboration with Bestech — specialists in button lock action — the O.C.T. delivers crisp deployment, smooth ceramic bearing pivoting, and a satisfyingly snappy lockup.
Every detail tells a story. The button texture nods to the iconic Old Main building at Utah State. The deep-carry reversible clip keeps it discreet. And the integrated lanyard hole is ready for your favorite booster bead.
The O.C.T. represents growth. Risk. Opportunity.
It’s Knafs giving it everything we’ve got.
🔪 Compact. Capable. Addictive.
