So my dad just started carrying a knife recently and i thought i would get him a cheaper EDC to test out and if he continues to like carrying one, get him a more expensive blade in the future. So i went with the CRKT Drifter to give him.

So today i received the CRKT Drifter,(the G10 model) in the mail, and to be honest i was expecting a sub par knife at best...Well i was very wrong, i pulled it out of the box and it is so solid, absolutely NO blade play. So that was one good thing.

I have heard they come pretty dull, not mine...out of the box it goes through magazine paper no problem. Another good thing

In the past ive had CRKT liners crap out on me and were just horrible, this one locks up perfectly and is smooth to disengage. Also this one doesnt have the stupid LAWKS or whatever to keep the liner from disengaging. Awesome

The G10 is very nice.

The knife has no blems or anything wrong with it from what i can tell.

The only real problem i had was with the pocket clip being a little too tight, easily fixed.

For a $17($16.20) EDC folder, i could not be happier.

Just thought i would share with everyone.:D
 
Got the framelock version. I really like mine. Easy to sharpen until shaving sharp. Solid lockup and feels pretty good for a folder this size.
 
I was just looking at the stainless one with a frame lock, not bad for the money.

I also got a framelock version - was getting it to play around with, but it's so solid that I don't want to mess it up. Nice finish on the blade & frame, snaps open with very little force, lock engages solidly, and a nice edge out of the box. The clip is a little tight and the studs could stand to be a hair shorter, but otherwise just a solid offering imo.
 
I could not decide on which version to get, i spend about 20min watching and reading reviews and i decided the G10 is lighter and he would like that better so i went with that one.

I just gave the knife to him and he was very happy about it, he was especially happy about the price haha
 
I'm going to pick one up one of these days. I've owned 3 or 4 crkts and never had any problems and all were great deals.
