An EDC (Every Day Carry) folding knife, the CRKT M21-04, manufactured by the American brand Columbia River Knife and Tool, is the successor to the iconic M16 and M18 models. Retaining the traditional design and using the same top-quality materials, the result is a larger, more durable and versatile product. The CRKT M21-04 is ideal for both uniformed services and those looking for a solid folding knife that can be used as an everyday tool or an effective weapon.
1.4116 stainless steel
The 98 mm long blade with a Recurve Drop-Point profile is made of 1.4116 stainless steel. The blade has a hollow grind and is coated with a black protective coating.
convenient opening, Liner Lock mechanism
A double-sided thumb stud is located on the blade, allowing for quick and convenient opening with both hands. Additionally, it is equipped with a flipper – simply push it with your index finger, combined with a dynamic wrist movement, to instantly unfold the blade, with the flipper acting as additional protection for your fingers when open. During opening, the blade is secured by a Liner Lock mechanism, additionally supported by the AutoLAWKS system, which activates automatically. To deactivate the lock, use the safety lever located at the front on the right-hand side.
G10 laminate scales, flexible clip
The CRKT M21-04G model is based on a steel core with G10 plastic scales and a steel plate that acts as a lock and support for the pivot point of the blade. The handle has been designed for maximum durability and comfort – its ribbed, partially open form makes maintenance much easier, and the built-in serrated blade tang provides stable support for the thumb.
A spring clip on the handle allows the knife to be carried comfortably on a belt or on the edge of a pocket.
