After receiving it & handling it for a while, I am very pleased with my choice. The CRKT M21-14SF was designed by the military for special forces use, so I figured it would be a good one to test.

I immediately grabbed a XL version and a regular so that we could check them out.

My requirements were simple, I wanted something low-cut, not super heavy, solid tread, good quality, comfortable and with a toe bumper.
