CRKT M21-02G (M21-02G)

What if we could build Kit Carson's M21™ series just the way a custom knifemaker would: with a G10 and stainless steel InterFrame build and a titanium nitride-coated premium stainless steel blade? What if we could bring it in at a very competitive value price? Just like a kid on Christmas morning, we got everything we wanted. And so can you. The swedged and recurved spear pointblades are made of premium 8Cr14 stainless steel with a non-reflective gray titanium nitride finish which gives maximum corrosion resistance. There are many reasons custom knifemakers choose anInterFrame build with stainless steel liners and G10 scales inpreference to aluminum or even titanium scales. First, the aggressive G10 texture gives unparalleled grip. Second, it is very strong. Third,it is lightweight. And finally, G10 is an insulator with a low specificheat. Therefore, it is cooler to grip in the beating desert sun, andwarmer to grip at subfreezing temperatures. These M21models also feature the very popular "Carson Flipper" blade extension,which aids opening and acts as an additional blade guard. Unlikethe typical custom knifemaker, we are able to engineer our patented*AutoLAWKS™ automatic knife safety into all M21 models, which convertsthem into virtual fixed blades when their blades are open and locked. Asis standard practice on CRKT folders, Teflon® bearings at the bladepivot assure velvety-smooth one-hand opening and closing, using KitCarson's trademark dual checkered thumb studs which also act as a bladestop. Every model features a removable Teflon®-platedstainless steel clothing/gear clip. All fasteners, including the clipscrews, are Torx®. Liners, hardware and clip are black oxide coated.
