Hey Guys...

Just took a CRKT M21-14 in trade..

Although I've handled many CRKT folders,, I've never been overly impressed with them,, as many were righ handed tip down carry,, and I'm left handed and like tip up carry,,so I haven't really paid too much attention to them...

I'll tell you,, I'm pretty impressed with this knife,, and the Only thing I have to complain about is that the lock is a little stiff and sticking in the locked position..

Not a big problem as it will wear in with use...

Other than that it's a full sized knife,, solid as a tank, and in my opinion,, built Very well.. Good lock up,, no plade play and has a Great style to it...

No question that I'd purchase another one..

Great knife as far as I'm concerned..

I have one in my pocket right now! I've carried some small, medium, and one other large folder but this one fits my purpose right now. I need something to cut heavy banding straps on some of the equipment I get in my lab from time to time. My Sebenza would work well but I'm partial to tip-down carry so I carry my Sebenza in a pouch on my belt where it is less handy than the M21. AUS8 is medium grade stainless that is sufficicient for what I need it for. I'm surprise at how well it holds an edge!
 
Glad you folks are enjoying your CRKT's. As with near any knife company they have knives that are total hits and complete misses.
Thier M series is probably thier most popular series of knives , from what I understand very popular with our Military and LEO folks.
I like the blade curve on that M21-14 big time.
 
Ill second that positive review. I picked up the liberty bell M-21 for a great deal, and it is steadily climbing to the top of the list of favorite folders.

Thanks for posting. I've been trying to decide whether or not to get one of these. Think I'm gonna order one tomorrow! :D
 
I like the the lightfoot M1. I have the M1 and the M21, both are great but the M1 is alittle more stout.
