Added pics and specs to CR-M21-14SF CRKT Large M21 Special Forces – Black Finish, Partially Serrated Edge

The M21™-14SF, is a hefty “folding fixed blade” for special forces with a true hilt, deep-bellied blade and patented AutoLAWKS™ knife safety.

After the success of our M16 Special Forces series, we received requests from professional knife users in the military and law enforcement for the larger “Big Dog” size with a more versatile blade shape. We talked to the designer of the series, retired Sergeant Major and Knifemakers’ Guild member Kit Carson, and M21™-14SF is the result.

The blade is similar in shape to the Carson M21, but with the addition of a second Carson Flipper on top, resulting in a true hilt. The blade grind is a deep-bellied spear point, which leaves an exceptionally strong full-width spine which extends down 80% of of the blade length.

The popular CRKT Carson M21™ with a powerful, deep-bellied spear point blade now features the AutoLAWKS™ safety.

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. As soon as we at Columbia River Knife & Tool (CRKT) saw the first sketches, we knew we should offer it in two sizes similar to the “Little Bulldog” and “Big Dog.”
