Got this knife for my birthday. Blade is good love the handle and clip. The auto lock thing SUCKS I about cut myself trying the one hand method on the instructions. I have a drifter and a pazoda that I love work great easy to use. This knife would be another crkt home run but for the auto thing. Makes the knife more dangerous in my opinion trying to fool with it. Is there a way to disengage it? For edc its not needed on this lil guy bigger blade maybe.

A freind turned me onto crkt knives. Just got the M-21 well designed and feels great in my hand. May take a while to get use to the lawks but fine with it for now. Love the blade and handle if there were a complaint would be the weight but not bad. Like to know how crkt makes such great knives at such affordable prices. Very nice knife, will buy more crkt knives in the future. Jeff

This knife is an exceptional EDC. I got both the 02 and 04 versions from bladeforums, they are a formidable pair. The blade size and shape is perfect for me in day to day tasks, the weight and thickness are reasonable, and the blade is quite capable. Only complaint is the jimping on the spine is pretty much nonfunctional. That being said I'd probably take this knife four times out of five instead of my Drifter

I bought this knife last year and and I have say it is by far my favorite knife and I have many from cold steel to benchmade and this is my favorite it holds a edge and its size it perfect for a big guy (6'5") thanks for making a great knife

I bought this knife to replace my fixed blade fighting knife on my kit. While I loved the fixed blade, a CRKT Ultima, the size got in the way. I have an M16 Kit Carson I've had as my EDC since about 2006. The M21 is significantly larger in the hand (and pocket) and makes a suitable replacement for a fixed blade. Normally I am not a fan of auto-lawks, but in this case it applies very nicely. I recommend this knife to anyone.

Just bout this knife, and I'm glad to say its my first knife I've ever bought Just came out the package, and it was very sharp. I have big hands, and even though its a little on the small side for me I think its going to be great for EDC. Can't wait for my next crkt purchase.

Good knife. Feels good to hold. Could be a bit bigger, and the release could be faster. But overall, great tool.

Very nice knife. Blade is just great. Large handle but fine for me. Would recommend to anyone looking for a large size knife.

I think this knife has great hand feel. I really like the safety button to prevent it from collapsing from the locked position. The release could be a bit faster but maybe that will improve after from use.
