All About Pocket Knives

I picked up this CRKT M21™ - 12G G10 WITH VEFF SERRATIONS™ at auction and it looked like someone tried to sharpen it with a hedge trimmer (auction house pictures attached first (below). I couldn't leave the knife looking like this, not really usable in this condition in my opinion, so I used a chainsaw file to reshape the Veff serrations and I think it turned out pretty well. Turned out to be a pretty sturdy and nice little EDC knife after all. The only thing I'm not wild about is the Lake and Walker Knife Safety (LAWKS) makes closing the knife difficult using one hand, but it can be done.

Is that one of those knives where you have to hold back both red dots to close it? Mine has 2, but I only see one on yours.

Nice Job saving that blade!

Great knife and nice save on the serrations!
I hate having too many safeties on ANYTHING. But, then again, I'm an ornery old cuss.

Thanks guys!

This knife is a liner lock with one of the red dot locking mechanisms that has to be held back before the liner lock can be moved to the side. Tricky to do one-handed but it can be done.

That safety lock makes it unable to open with one hand which makes it legal to carry in most states.
The tactical knife I carry is a one hand opener.
If the law ever takes it away from me there'll be another exactly the same in my pocket when I get home.
