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 knifemaker 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” 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.
