Product Description

Product Description

This large folding tactical knife an-swers the call with a big deep-bellied spear-point blade that cuts through anything.

Automated liner safety and a dual hilt blade guard round out the features. This is a knife that’s as specialized as those who use it.

Designed by legendary knifemaker Harold “Kit” Carson of Vine Grove, KY the M21-14SFG offers a combination of Carson Series features requested by military procurement specialists. Being a retired Sgt. Major, Kit was happy to oblige.

This specialty knife features a beast of a blade. Crafted from high carbon stainless steel with our exclusive, patented, Veff Serrations, it’s ideal for cutting rope and fibrous materials dispatching obstacles moments after it’s opened. Add to that a black titanium nitride coating for maximum corrosion resistance, and you’re good to go through anything.

A rarity in Special Forces knives, the M21-14SFG also features a dual hilt blade guard to keep you safe during sustained heavy use. It also features our automated liner safety. Automated liner safety is the locking liner safety innovation taken to the next level. 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.

You work in all conditions and so should your handle. That’s why we crafted it with an InterFrame build with stainless steel liners and G10 scales. They give you lightweight, unparalleled grip and strength, and also keep your hands cool in the summer and warm in the winter. The more you use it, the more you realize how dialed in this mission ready knife is.

Reach for a Special Forces blade where the only thing special about it is…pretty much everything.

M21-14SFG GREAT KNIFE
5 Stars
M21-14SFG GREAT KNIFE
I decided to wait six months before reviewing. The M21-14SFG is a suburb knife, and my EDC. I chose this particular blade because it came highly recommended from a desert survivalist friend of mine. The handle of the M21 has a lot of grip. It's almost like tiny scales, and it took some getting used to as most knives I've used have had smooth handles. The crossguards below the blade are great for rigorous knife use, keeping your hand from slipping up onto the blade when piercing. The knife opens very quickly using the crossguard, but not so much with the little knob on the side of the blade (which is also made of the grippy scale material). Using a small alan wrench, the belt clip can be removed and placed in four different places on the handle. The double locking safety is great and any knife without one is now personally much less trustworthy in operation. The 14SFG will cut through a sheet of printing paper - straight out of the box. I have not needed to sharpen it yet. The veff serrations are perfect for cutting rope and twine and are very sharp.. HOWEVER!! I was chopping at some thorny brambles this winter, (the purple ones rabbits hide in), and they broke off every serration's tip, which is shown in the photographs. One of my favorite things about this is that when you close the knife, the blade does not rest on anything; it is stopped by the knob on the side of the blade. Overall, this truly is a five star trustworthy knife, and I love carrying it.
