Everyday Carry CRKT M21-02G EDC Folding Pocket Knife, Black Blade, G10 Handle, Reversible Pocket Clip

When a series like Kit Carson's aluminum-handled line has been so successful, it is bound to spark calls for variations. In this case, the request was for a deep-bellied spear point blade with recurve. The hefty M21-04 and M21-14 models with 3.875" blades are referred to as "Big Dogs."

The swedged and recurved blade is ground to a spear point shape, using premium AUS 8 stainless steel in a non-reflective frost finish to offer superior edge retention. The grind incorporates a false top edge and deep belly, yet retains a full width central spine for most of its length for maximum strength. Both Razor-Sharp and Combined Razor-Sharp and Triple-Point Serrated edge grinds are available.

Lubrous washers at the blade pivot ensure velvety-smooth one-hand opening and closing, using Kit Carson's trademark dual checkered thumb studs which also act as a blade stop. M21 models feature the popular "Carson Flipper" blade extension, which aids opening and acts as an additional blade guard.

Kit Carson's open build uses contoured handles of 6061 T6 aluminum, hard anodized charcoal gray. They are CNC machined with a perimeter radius for a comfortable grip with or without work gloves, skeletonized to reduce weight. A single stainless steel locking liner with friction grooves provides positive locking.

The automated liner safety sets a pin between the locking liner and the frame, providing an additional layer of safety to prevent the locking liner from disengaging during use. To close the knife, the red buttoned safety lever is pulled back, the locking liner is slid over, and the blade is folded into the closed position.

Every model features a removable stainless steel clothing/gear clip, and all fasteners, including the clip screws, are Torx. If you love the Carson line but your work tasks demand a deep-bellied blade, the M21 series offers the same premium build, functional features, long life, and excellent value.
