I would like to know why i dont see much on here about them

maybe some people could share thier crkt knives with us or maybe why they dont like them !
 
They're fine disposable/beater knives. Great designs, decent materials (for the most part) and they just work. You do have to make sure your liner lock works
 
They have a very vast line of knives. Some are certainly very good and others suffer from qc and F&F problems. The key here is which model. I rate CRKT GOOD bang for buck.
 
They are very interesting for a low to mid price company in that they have a lineup dominated by custom knifemaker collaborations, and top knifemakers at that: the Crawfords, the Hawks, Kit Carson, Brian Tighe. Do your research and find which models have the better materials -- AUS-8 is OK, and some of the AO models are 154-CM.
 
I was a little surprised and very pleased at how big it is. I expected a big handle, but the blade is almost 4". This knife was not designed to meet the requiremnts of Sheepletown, USA. :D
 
Esav pretty much hit it on the nose , some of CRKT's knives are less than good , like the Rollock , while others are made from top notch materials such as the out of production S-2.
The entire line of M series is pretty popular here ,especially with folks in the Service.
 
I agree with everything said here about CRKT--in general about their line; they use not always the best matierials but rather adequate matierials including knife steel. Adequate, of course, is subjective. Their goal tho is to make affordable knives that function at an acceptable level. I think they do accomplish this for the most part. Some knives are better than others in their line.
