Brancron- Which model is the pic second from bottom? That's awesome looking
That's the Eros model, but with a clip made by Nathawut Petchkong. It's a great knife.
I feel the same way! I stopped carrying my M21 for awhile because it got dull, and despite all my efforts to sharpen it, I couldn't restore the edge. I found out that I was sharpening at the wrong angle (sharpening noob over here!). Now that I have practiced, and sharpened it with the correct angle on a Arkansas stone, the edge is perfect! It is a real fast one to sharpen too. I got it hair-shaving sharp after only a 15-20 strokes on each side. It also is beat up with scratches and wear. It just adds to the sentimentality of the blade!Hello...
I guess I've been lucky, I haven't had any trouble except for a hunting folder from a different company.
My CKRTs have all held up well... The one I carry everyday has had no issues...
I have & like my Kershaws, and OKCs& Ka-bars but have only owned fixed blade versions.
Good luck with your Career bud!
That's a valiant occupation. I wish you the best!
Two EMT's saved my life back in 1998, I would still be dead if not for them.
Take care eh!
If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all. This is me not saying anything about crkt.
I did my best to just stop at "I like their fixed blades. Their folders aren't for me."
TBH, it would take quite a bit get me to buy another one of their folders. We're talking about a company with QC so bad that Chris Reeve pulled his collaboration because of how awful they were.
One might say "that was years ago!" - true, but they still kinda suck at making things with moving parts.

I'm new here, so forgive and correct me if there has already been a post about CRKT. My everyday carry blade is a CRKT M21-12G. I own a multitude of blades, including a Spyderco Delica 4, but I always keep coming back to the M21. I just love the sturdiness and ease of sharpening. It's not too high quality of steel (8CR14MoV), but it handles every task I throw at it. I beat the crap out of it and it stays in great condition! what do you think of CRKT?
Try Liong Mah's GSD, I think you'd be surprised by the quality.
