Kroc 329 — Bigger Bite, Same Kroc Spirit
Last year, the Kroc launched as a compact everyday carry knife. After its release, we heard from many people who liked the design but wanted a slightly larger version.
The Kroc 329 grew out of that feedback. It keeps the same overall look and layout as the original while adding a longer blade, a larger handle, and a design that makes inlay swaps easier.
It's still a Kroc — just with a bit more blade and a fuller grip.
Blade
The Kroc 329 uses a 3.29” S35VN sheepsfoot blade, providing more cutting edge than the original. The 1.27” blade width, strong tip, and straight edge are well suited for everyday tasks such as opening boxes, cutting rope, or breaking down cardboard.
The blade profile stays consistent with the original Kroc design.
Handle and Inlays
The handle is made from aluminum to keep the knife lightweight while maintaining a solid feel in hand. The pivot hardware can be accessed from either side, so an inlay can be removed without taking apart the entire knife.
Inlay options include Topo G10, Ocean Micarta, and a glow-in-the-dark version. On the 329, the inlay extends farther toward the end of the handle, giving the knife a slightly longer visual line.
The larger handle offers more grip area, which can be helpful for larger hands or when wearing gloves.
Opening
The Kroc 329 can be opened using either the thumbhole or the front flipper.
The long thumbhole supports ambidextrous one-handed opening, while the front flipper provides a second opening method. Ceramic ball bearings in the pivot keep the action smooth.
