CRKT M21-14SFG EDC Folding Pocket Knife: Special Forces Everyday Carry, Black Serrated Edge Blade, Veff Serrations, Automated Liner Safety, Dual Hilt, G10 Handle, Reversible Pocket Clip

I have owned many different spring assisted and non-assisted pocket knives for daily carry over the last five years. This is the best one I have had yet! Had many $15-$30 knives with cool designs and were spring assisted, but this Knife is the real deal. Has a nice weight in your hand and will definitely fill your hand. It is a bigger knife than you might think. It almost reaches from the base of my palm to the ends of my fingers on my hand. It operates smoothly and just feels like a high quality knife all around when manipulating it.Opening it is fast and solid. The safety lock is cool, because unlike cheaper tactical knifes, you know for sure that blade is locked and ready for action without any chance of the blade closing while in use. The safety button itself seemed well oiled and smooth to quickly disengage the lock with ease. When you shut the blade, there is an audible lock which is very nice. The overall weight and of this knife is fantastic. feels like a very balanced solid knife that you can depend on no matter what the situation is.The blade is sharp out the box (maybe pros might want to sharpen a little more) and the serrated part of the blade feels like it could skin an animal! I mean you need to be really careful! (as you should be because this is a weapon/tool) That section of the blade in general seems extremely sharp and I'm excited to put it to the test the next time I need to cut something thicker! The rest of the blade is a nice thick size and seems like it could take on a lot.Overall this knife is comfortable to hold, feels solid and rugged, and operates the way it should. If you are like me and don't want to spend over $45 on a knife, think again. This thing is definitely worth the small investment! As is any weapon or tool, you want quality and functionality. This knife has both and with a sleek design that is comfortable to hold and nice to look at!!!

I bought this knife years ago, this was the first knife I EVER had that cost more than $20 and the first full size folder I ever had. I ended up buying a second M21-14SFG after I received the first. I EDCd (EveryDay Carried) these two knives for about FIVE YEARS! In all those years I NEVER had any problems at all. This is simply an amazing knife. I only got rid of them because my job required me to only carry small knives. Now, five years later, Im more into higher end knives, from a price range of about $100-$250 per knife. After all the knives Ive had recently, and my entire life, the M21-14SFG is still one of my favorites. I especially loved the veff serrations, they are the BEST and most practical serrations Ive ever used. This knife is very tough, easy to maintain, and a perfect EDC. For as big as this knife is, its really light and very slim, which makes it amazing for all day carry. Its nice to have a knife that you dont even notice is in your pocket and can handle everything from normal cutting tasks, hunting/camping related work, and is big and tough enough for a self defence role. I buy my knives as tools, but I always keep in mind that if the day ever came where I had no weapon and my life, or the lives of my family, were being threatened my knife could be the only weapon I have on me... and I would want it to be a knife I can rely on to perform no matter what the circumstances are.As a knife lover and knowing alot about knives and having experience with a few knives... I would highly recommend this knife to anyone for any role. Ive had knives that cost more than double, even triple, of what the M21 is priced at... but the M21 has still remained one of my favorites.If you are looking for a great knife that you can rely on to perform multiple roles but you dont want to pay $100+, I would highly recommend the CRKT M21-14SFG. With this knife you get the performance of a $100-$150 knife, for a fraction of the cost.

Just got the knife today, along with another item I had shipped to me, coincidentally, at the same time. I was so pumped about having my new knife that I tore into the bubble-wrap envelope package first, knowing it contained my new blade, just so I could use it to open the other package I got....and I gotta say...I was so much more overjoyed when I actually got it in my hand and flicked that puppy open for the first time.Smooth action.Solid design.Proper fear-inspiring affect from sight of blade.Shave-worthy edge.Good fit for my gorilla-paw hands.Be forewarned....if you're a little girly man, or an actual little girly girl, this might not be the knife for you.This knife is more accommodating to those of larger proportions and, specifically, larger hands.For years I've been plagued by average sized pocket knives that don't ever really feel right when I grip them. This is far from reality with this knife and, for once, I feel like I have a proper fitting knife in my hand.Granted, this knife has yet to endure the rigors of pulling duty as MY daily blade but testing will begin tomorrow morning, and you can bet your cute little dainty pocket knife that I'll be back on here if something doesn't hold up on this knife. This is my first CRKT, but something tells me that I won't be back on here anytime real soon.18DEC12....scratch that....So, unless you plan on strictly using the serration on this knife for thread cutting, and thread cutting only, I would NOT recommend the version of this knife that carries the "VEFF" serration. Plastic ZIP TIES have damaged the edge on the mighty "VEFF" serration.And I'm not talking about, "oh, the edge doesn't feel as sharp." I'm talking about, "took chunks out of the curves in the serration" kind of damage.Sure, it looks mighty mean and it would probably slice through tissue & muscle just fine, but it still needs a little fine-tuning in the functionality department. After extensive testing in real-life conditions, I can assure you that the "VEFF" serration is not worth your time.
