Columbia River Knife & Tool CRM21-12SFG CRKT Kit Carson Special Forces Flipper Knife 3.113" 1.4116 Drop Point Combo Blade with Veff Serrations, Black G10 Handles! A hero knifemaker's legacy that keeps on giving. One of the most beloved tactical folding knives is back. This time, with a compact build and the same trusty, super-effective rope and cord-cutting Veff Serrations that defines its parent knife, the M21-14SFG. This is a knife that's as specialized as those who use it. Designed by the late legendary knife-maker Harold "Kit" Carson of Vine Grove, Kentucky, the M21-12SFG offers a combination of Carson-series features requested by military procurement specialists years ago. As a retired Sgt. Major, Kit was happy to oblige. Crafted from high-carbon stainless steel with exclusive, patented, Veff Serrations, the 3.1" blade is ideal for cutting rope and fibrous materials. Add to that a black corrosion-resistant blade finish and you're good to go through anything. A rarity in Special Forces knives, the M21-12SFG also features a dual hilt blade guard to keep you safe during sustained, heavy use. The automated liner safety sets a red pin between the locking liner and the frame, acting as an additional layer of safety. The universally-recognized handle design is built of grippy, durable G10. The next generation, the latest in the legacy. How the Automated Liner Safety Works The automated liner safety sets a pin between the locking liner and the frame. This pin acts as an additional layer of safety, so the locking liner is less likely to disengage during use. To close the knife, pull the red buttoned safety lever back, slide the locking liner over, and fold the blade into the closed position. Want one of the most secure safety systems on the market? The choice is automatic.

About the Knife Designer

Kit Carson of Vine Grove, Kentucky, is a retired professional soldier, rising to the level of Sergeant Major. He has made knives for 30 years and has been a full-time knife-maker since 1993. He is a voting member of the Knife-makers’ Guild. Kit has been an avid hunter and fisherman for over 40 years, growing up enjoying the woods and trout streams in the mountains of north Georgia. About his philosophy of knife design, he says: “I strive to follow form and function in the knives I design and build. My reputation has been built around solid working knives, both fixed blade and folders. All the time spent outdoors as a young man and the time spent around the world with the Army has strongly influenced the knives I create.” Nothing reflects this approach more than the Carson Design of our M16 series, which is built for function, not to follow fads. This highly successful knife series was named one of the Top 10 Factory Tactical Folders of the Decade by Blade magazine. The M16-14M recently won a comparison test conducted by Germany’s Messer magazine.
