In the process of developing the CRKT line of Carson special forces G10 M21 models, it became apparent that there was a demand for these models from coalition forces serving in desert environments. These models have Desert Tan blade and scales. The M21-14DSFG Big Dog G10 is CRKT's hefty utility version, with a 3.875" (98 mm) deep-bellied blade and full-size handle with butt pommel. It weighs 5.5 oz. (156 g). Just like its black tactical counterpart, this knife shares a unique design offering a combination of Carson SF series features requested by military procurement specialists. It has a combined Razor-Sharp and patented Veff Serrated edge. The open build allows two Carson Flippers to be incorporated, resulting in a true hilt” up to now rare in folding knives. Blade and scales are non-reflective Desert Tan. The premium 8Cr14MoV stainless steel blade receives a titanium nitride coating for maximum corrosion resistance. Carson's trademark dual checkered thumb studs are standard. O
