M21 Special Forces aluminium grip

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 the M21TM special forces series 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 with a Combined Razor-Sharp and Triple-PointTM Serrated edge on the M21-14SF model.

In addition to the original model with InterFrame build and aluminum scales, we also offer this knife as the M21-14SFG with InterFrame build, G10 scales, and our exclusive patented (1) VeffTM Serrations. We use premium blade steel on both models. A black titanium nitride blade coating protects against corrosion and gives a low-reflectance finish.

The series features our patented (2) AutoLAWKSTM safety, which provides fully automatic actuation. It immediately turns the folder into a fixed blade when the blade is opened and locked. The safety still allows the quick and smooth one-hand opening and closing that our Carson series is known for. The ambidextrous thumb studs with checkered surfaces provide instant access.

M21TM-14SF Aluminum. Our production aluminum frame SFs are based on Kit Carson´s custom designs, with contoured handles of textured, black, hard anodized 6061 T6 aluminum, with a perimeter radius. Stainless steel locking liners with friction grooves give positive locking. Blade steel is AUS 8 stainless.

All knives in this series are equipped with clip options that allow four-position carry on belts or webbing- tip up, tip down, left or right. (Caution: These knives are not designed for tip-up in-pocket carry.)

The M21-14SF series is a true advance in tactical locking liner folders, and is today an even better value.
