The AR15.Com Tactical Folder is now public!

Go check out the knives and get up to speed on the information!

We'll start taking pre-orders as we finalize things and nail down a prelim delivery date. We'll keep everyone posted on that thread and make sure to get these in your hands AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!

I want to again thank CRKT Knives and their amazing owner, without them, a deal like this would not have been possible. I also want to thank everyone who helped with this project, especially that old fart DonR.

[b]All PROCEEDS from the sale of these knives will go directly to the AR15.Com Relief Fund.[/b]

Dang-it! I just bought a CRKT M16 SRT folder a few months ago!

Which length is it? I got the little one, if it's the big one, I guess I'll have to get another.

I'm not a knife guru, but I like my M16 alot, it's a good knife IMHO.

HKocher,
I hate to have to break it to you, but you'll be reaching for your wallet again. This is the big one with the 3.94 inch blade. Look at the bright side......all you need is one more to have the set! [:D]

I have the M16 04 and it's a great knife. I'll take one of the AR15.com knives. I'd really like one in green if you go that color.

Where are these made? Some CRKT stuff I have seen is Taiwan. Just want to know ahead of time.

Thanks,

CS

My M16-14(large one) is one of the early models.I checked the knife I carry and it does not say Taiwan on it.As a matter of fact it does not say where it was made at all.
I have 2 M16-14's and 3 of the smaller ones and they are great!

I will get some of these and put one in the box with my unfired LEGP rifle.

Even if they are made in Taiwan, they could still be of excellent quality and value. That’s where my girlfriend was born. [;)]

She strongly believes in and supports our second amendment (something which her country does not have), and is going to buy/pay for my “birthday gun” this year.

I have no doubt of that Tyler, infact everything I have seen made by CRKT seems to be of excellent quality. The fit and finish of thier knives is awesome, I guess to me there are just certain things I like to buy domestic, like pickup trucks or a knife or a rifle.

This is illogical sometimes but if something is gonna say AR15.com, or mention ther WTC disaster I can't imagine it also saying Taiwan.

Just my .02

The blade on some of their knives ARE made in Taiwan (very small print at the inside corner of the blade by the handle) but some of them are not...

I'll see if I can get specifics, not that it matters to me in all honesty.

I understand your point CounterStrike. I was just trying to say that in my experience, the CRKT knives are of very good quality, regardless of where they are manufactured. I see that we agree upon that. [beer]

The dark green is very cool!!!!!!!!
I'd rather have it than a dark blue, besides that it will go with the green furniture on the 2002 LEGP. [8D][8D][8D]

I am all for supporting companies that help us, but I`ve been warned off on buying a CRKT by more than a few folks. Folks that own one.

One of the reasons we decided to go with the CRKT knives was the unbelievable generousity and genuine desire to help make a difference shown to us by Rod Bremer, one of the owners of CRKT. All it took was one phone call for me to realize that he was a perfect example of the Ameican spirit of pitching in and doing what he could for the folks affected by this tragedy. Folks like this will always earn my business.

As to Rich314's comments, understandably, there will always be folks who are dissatisfied with a product. I had a lot of folks who know knives far better than me tell me what a great knife CRKT makes, and these are folks who own them also.

For myself personally, in this case I don't give a particular damn where the blade was made. What's important to me is the fact that our five heroes are getting a special knife presented to them compliments of CRKT, and that our members have the chance to get a good deal on a quality knife and see to it that the folks in NYC recieve the proceeds. Just my opinion, and I could be wrong.

I am up for one.

What type of opening system is it? I'm really partial to assisted opening knives like my Kershaw. I'll probably buy at least one, but if it's an assisted opener, I'll take a couple.

A little more info on the knives:

All models feature the “Carson Flipper” extension to the blade, which aids opening and acts as an additional blade guard.

One-hand opening and closing is velvet smooth, the result of Teflon® bearings. The ambidextrous thumb stud with checkered surface provides instant access in any circumstance. Every model features a removable black Teflon plated stainless steel clothing/gear clip.

I own CRKT knives and happen to think very highly of them. They are VERY well built, smooth to open, sharpen and hold an edge, and are weighted nicely. I would recommend these to anyone and stand behind them and CRKT.

If you're on the edge or just considering it, keep in mind that these are coming to you at NO PROFIT (and a discount price!) and that your money will be going to a GREAT CAUSE. That alone should make the purchase a worthwhile one. In return, you're getting an incredible knife, engraved with the site logo. We've taken great care with everyone we've done business with to bring you high quality items, this is no different.

Sounds good. My like for the assisted open knives is because they are extremely easy to open one handed, and wouldn't be useless in an emergency where you may have lost the use of one of your hands. This is a great cause, and I'm definitely going to pick up at least one. I'll probably get at least two more for christmas gifts if I can scrounge the cash.

I own several and quite frankly, I like them far better than my Benchmade. Same feel, quality is every bit as good IMO and I didnt have to go without beer or food to own them. My brother is good friends with with one of the custom designers that does designs for CRKT, and I can assure you that this man would not allow himself to be associated with a company that made less than top quality knives. Im in for one at least, and maybe a couple more. Thanks to DonR, GB and CRKT for a great deal for an even greater cause.

Viper, I agree on the quality of CRKT. My next step is to figure out how to get the next smaller one for [i]formal[/i] occassions. [;)]

I have a CRKT Stiff KISS knife that is strapped to my bullet-proof vest (OH CRAP! Last Resort weapon)...it's stamped Taiwan in very small print on the blade, [b]So What!!![/b] I trust it enough to carry with me on daily patrol.

Keep up the great work DonR and GB!

I've probably sold over a dozen CRKT's and have never had a complaint. I still have around 15 or so in my inventory.

Suffice it to say...You can count me in on this!!!

Hey Don,
Next month when I'm in Texas I'll show you mine if you show me yours....Knives that is. [;)]

WTH I`ll give it a try, it`s a good price and a good idea. Far be it from me to pee on a parade. I`ll order one.

[#24]

My knives as well as those of my wife are made by two companies and two companies only: Spyderco and CRKT.

I will pay a premium for a knife..............Spyderco knives are great but CRKT is an excellent buy and a keck of a knife.

My lastest is the 1* MIL-OD M16-14
