CRKT M21-10KSF EDC Folding Pocket Knife: Special Forces Everyday Carry, Black Serrated Edge Blade, Frame Lock, Dual Hilt, Stainless Steel Handle, Reversible Pocket Clip

CRKT is one of my favorite manufacturers. I like the R&D focus on locking the blade properly...after all the one thing that makes a folder less stable, than a fixed blade, or a Butterfly knife, is the joint, hence making this joint as secure as possible seems like a worthy pursuit. To that end this company has produced a few types of innovations, such as a liner lock button on some models, a knife that comes out from a different direction, etc.Like so many of their other blades this knife speaks to me with its functional design, weight, balance, easy adjustable opening mechanism, and... the knife is delivered with a usable sharp blade. Pet peeve alert: I do not like to have to do a major sharpening job on a knife, unless I am buying a butter knife. The M21 like many CRKT knives I enjoy, looks modern & elegant, even the serrated blade section does not look cheap, as it does with so many knives,. This is a beautiful knife and for the price point it is truly an exceptional design. For example, the two flanks that allow one to open the blade can act as a guard, have jimping for fingers, and two holes so the blade can be used as a spear. To me the M21 encompasses everything I like about this company and knives it produces. The knife is a perfect size, locks up with no give, is durable and sharp.

This knife is great for everyday use. Easy to open and close and it is wonderfully sharp. It cuts through packaging and other items that need to be cut open with ease. Simply the perfect pocket knife.

The media could not be loaded. Most of the reviews on the CRKT M21-10KSF product page are for other CRKT knives, like the M16s. This review and my video are for the actual CRKT M21-10KSF knife.It's a great knife and I like it. It's small, lightweight, and a great pocket knife. It looks good with fine craftmanship.One drawback for me was that the folding mechanism was tricky to figure out. I've owned a lot of folding knives in my life and it took me awhile to figure this one out. The official CRKT video was useless because the guy folded it way too quickly with little explanation. So in my video review I'll show you how to do this. It's simple once you figure it out. There is a small bar built into the inside of the frame but you can't really see it until you press it to the left and then you'll notice it moves.Once I figured that out it's easy to fold and unfold the knife. So overall, I'm very happy with this knife and it will now be my every day carry pocket knife.

Smaller than expected but very functional, sharp and great quality!

It's the right size to carry all the time, sharp and sturdy and functions well. Double tangs give peace of mind. Not too big to have on you all the time, belt clip to the pocket works great. A bit tough to fold up one handed (a touch stiff) but will break in. Love it.

Excellent product

Is pocket and fill strong in hand.

It is tough to order something as intimate as a pocketknife over the internet. This is a thing that you will carry with you just about everywhere so you have to be completely satisfied with it.I like this knife; it is well made, light weight and cool looking. It arrived in perfect shape, deploys easily and locks up well.My only complaints are:1) it's a bit small. Unlike some elected officials, my hands are huge (honestly). It gets lost in my palm and I can really only get three fingers on it.2) There is jimping on the little flipper nub and hand guard. This gives you better traction when using the flipper. The down side is, whenever you have it in your pocket (the obvious place for a pocketknife) the jimping will scratch your hand any time you reach for something in that pocket.
