(M2102G) M21 G10 Folder - Designed by Kit Carson
M2102G description
It began like a Christmas wish list. 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 smaller size M21-02G and M21-12G models make excellent every day carries. They're available in your choice of Razor-Sharp or our exclusive Combined Razor-Sharp and patented (1) Veff Serrated edge grinds.

The swedged and recurved spear point blades are made of premium 8Cr14MoV stainless steel with a non-reflective black titanium nitride finish which gives maximum corrosion resistance.

There are many reasons custom knifemakers choose an InterFrame build with stainless steel liners and G10 scales in preference 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 specific heat. Therefore, it is cooler to grip in the beating desert sun, and warmer to grip at subfreezing temperatures.

These M21 models also feature the very popular "Carson Flipper" blade extension, which aids opening and acts as an additional blade guard.

Unlike the typical custom knifemaker, we are able to engineer our patented (2) AutoLAWKS automatic knife safety into all M21 models, which converts them into virtual fixed blades when their blades are open and locked.

As is standard practice on CRKT folders, lubrous washers at the blade pivot assure velvety-smooth one-hand opening and closing, using Kit Carson's trademark dual checkered thumb studs which also act as a blade stop.

Every model features a removable stainless steel clothing/gear clip. All fasteners, including the clip screws, are Torx®. Liners, hardware and clip are black oxide coated.

So there you have the M21 G10 series. We call it a "premium value line." Everything you could ask for in a custom-quality work knife at a great price. Does that make us feel jolly? Ho, ho, ho! 1. U.S. Patent No. D559,939 2. U.S. Patent Nos. 5,596,808 and 7,437,822

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.

Excellent knife Feels great in the hand, balance, grip, and weight. I have never owned a plastic handled knife before and was a little skeptical but the price was right (considering I was getting one for myself and each of my groomsmen). The g10 does not disappoint. In fact, my next knife will be this material too, without doubt. Also, this is the place to buy these knives. I ordered from another online store for a few bucks less but it took a call from me to find out they didn't have them in stock. So at the last minute I gave CRKT a call and they were able to save the day and ship them out asap in time for my big day. Bottom line: impeccable service and excellent knives. Highly recommend this knife and CRKT.

I bout this knife as an EDC knife about a month ago, and it is the best EDC knife I've owned The clip is very sturdy and functional. The size is perfect (I have it clipped in my pocket all the time and forget it's there). I am outdoors a lot rock climbing, hiking, camping, etc, and this knife is perfect for everyday tasks such as cutting webbing (the serrations are perfect for that), cutting open packages, cutting up food at the campsite, and all of that. I would probably buy the one with out serrations though, only because you get more cutting sufrace when you are trying to make kindling for a fire. The knife is very sharp out of the box. Sturdily build. I love the autolawks feature. It really does make it into a virtual fixed blade. Gread EDC knife Bobby

I bought this knife about a month ago because I fell in love w the M21 series. I had been carrying the M2104 (larger) but security at work didn't care for the size. So instead of going w/o I purchased the little brother. I love it as much as the larger version. Great knife Carson flipper is my favorite feature Will be buying more of this quality series Happy customer Greg

I ordered this knife because I was tired of destroying knives from walmart. I have owned this knife for just over two weeks know and I must say: extremely durable, strong blade tip, clip has stayed tight, withstands drops both open closed, overall - awesome knife. I recommend to anyone who uses a knife often day in day out, sometimes for a multi-tool, etc. Don't hesitate, buy this knife, you won't be sorry.

Best knife I have gotten from you guys. The semi-customs and autos are good and fun as well but for everyday use this is the best. EVERY day
