The CRKT M21-02 Kit Carson Aluminum handle folder features a deep bellied spear point blade with recurve. Sometimes referred to as one of the "Little Dogs", this knife sports a swedged and recurved razor edge blade that is ground to a spear point shape, using premium AUS 8 stainless steel in 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. 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. To open the blade you simple use the popular "Carson Flipper" blade extension which acts as an additional blade guard when open. The open build on this knife 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. There is a single stainless steel locking liner with friction grooves for positive locking. We have also incorporated our patented* AutoLAWKS automatic knife safety into all M21 models, which converts them into virtual fixed blades when their blades are open and locked. Every model features a removable stainless steel clothing/gear clip. All fasteners, including the clip screws, are Torx®.
