CRKT – CR2114SFG – M21 Special Forces – Folding Knife – 1.4116 Stainless Coated Spear Point Serrated – G10 – Black

The CRKT M21-14SFG (Model CR2114SFG) is a full-size tactical folding knife designed by legendary custom knifemaker and retired U.S. Army Sergeant Major Kit Carson. Developed in response to requests from military personnel and law enforcement professionals for a larger, heavier-duty version of the acclaimed M16 series, the M21-14SFG delivers exceptional strength, dependable performance, and enhanced cutting capability in demanding environments. Combining Carson’s practical design philosophy with CRKT’s innovative engineering, this model has become a respected choice for first responders, outdoor enthusiasts, and anyone seeking a rugged everyday tactical folder. Built around CRKT’s proven InterFrame construction, the M21-14SFG features durable stainless steel liners paired with aggressively textured black G10 handle scales. G10 is widely valued for its outstanding grip in wet or dry conditions, excellent impact resistance, lightweight construction, and insulating properties in both hot and cold environments. The ergonomic handle provides a secure purchase even while wearing gloves, making the knife well-suited for field, utility, and tactical applications. The 3.875-inch spear point blade is crafted from 8Cr14 stainless steel, heat treated to approximately 58-59 HRC for an excellent balance of edge retention, toughness, corrosion resistance, and ease of sharpening. Finished with a black titanium nitride coating, the blade offers enhanced corrosion protection while reducing glare in tactical situations. Its deep-bellied spear point profile provides outstanding slicing performance while maintaining a reinforced tip for piercing tasks. One of the defining characteristics of the M21-14SFG is its exclusive Veff Serrations™, developed by renowned knife maker Tom Veff. Unlike traditional serrations, the Veff pattern is specifically engineered to cut aggressively through rope, webbing, heavy cord, straps, and other fibrous materials with remarkable efficiency. Combined with the plain edge section, the knife delivers exceptional versatility across a wide range of cutting tasks. For enhanced safety and reliability, the M21-14SFG incorporates CRKT’s patented AutoLAWKS® safety system. Once the liner lock engages, the AutoLAWKS mechanism automatically activates, effectively converting the folding knife into a virtual fixed blade during use. This added level of lock security is especially appreciated during heavy-duty cutting tasks while still allowing smooth one-handed opening and controlled closing after disengaging the safety. The blade also features Carson’s signature dual flipper design, creating a substantial hand guard when opened to help prevent the user’s hand from sliding forward onto the blade. Ambidextrous thumb studs with textured surfaces provide rapid deployment for both left- and right-handed users. A fully reversible four-position stainless steel pocket clip allows left or right-hand carry in either tip-up or tip-down configurations on belts or web gear, providing flexibility for individual carry preferences. (CRKT recommends against tip-up in-pocket carry for this particular model.)
