## Description

Custom knife maker and Knife makers' Guild member Kit Carson is widely known for his M16 design, which we offer in many CRKT production models. But since 1990, Kit's most consistent selling custom model has been his classic M4. In his usual unassuming manner, Kit says, "I guess you'd say it's my flagship custom. It's simple, with form following function. No tricks that look slick but aren't worth a flip in your hand. I've made many variations on it, from exotic collectibles to working tacticals, in maybe 20 versions. But I still get more and more calls to make the M4." This year we're offering the M4 design in Kit's smaller every day carry (E.D.C.) size. The new M4-02 lightweight model features white bone scales and contrasting black G10 bolsters, hand contoured like a Carson custom.While we were engineering it, we decided to add some more value by offering our Outburst assisted opening. The Outburst mechanism instantly springs the blade fully open after you have opened the blade approximately 30 degrees. M4 models have dual thumb studs for ambidextrous one-hand opening and bronze bearings and lubrous washers at the adjustable blade pivot for smooth, fast action. The 3.25" blade is a high-hollow-grind drop point of premium 8Cr13MoV stainless steel in a bead-blast finish with a Razor-Sharp edge. Our heavy-duty InterFrame build is true to Kit's design, with dual stainless steel liners, one locking, and a stainless steel back spacer. All M4 models have high-mounted pocket/gear clips. So here you have a friendly E.D.C. knife that fits the hand naturally for all kinds of cutting and carving tasks. Like Kit, it's a bit unassuming, but it's a knife you'll come back to year after year.Specifications:Blade Length: 3.25" (82.55 mm)Edge: PlainSteel: 8Cr13MoVBlade Finish: SatinBlade Thickness: 0.121" (3.07 mm)Grind: HollowClosed Length: 3.75" (95.25 mm)Open Length: 7" (177.8 mm)Weight: 3.3 oz (93.55g)Handle: G10 Bolster w/White BoneStyle: Folding Knife with Locking Liner

Review: Love this knife. - I've bought the M4-02 (bone/G10) about a month ago and have carried it every day since and I gotta say, I love this knife. Absolutely love it. It looks great, feels great, and functions wonderfully. For comparison, my previous EDC knives have been the Kershaw Leek, Kershaw Dividend, and the SOG Twitch II and while the M4-02 is certainly thicker and heavier than those, it just feels the best. The bone/G10 has a great tactile feel and the weight feels like you got a real knife in your hand. Saw no issues with the fit and finish. No problems disengaging the liner lock (the fatal flaw with my Kershaw Dividend). I had no problem flicking the blade out. In fact, once you get a feel for it, its very easy and satisfying. If anything, the action of the blade flicking out may be a bit aggressive for some. The size is just about perfect for an EDC, even with my over-sized mitts. Fits in the 3rd pocket diagonally just fine, though, like I said, its a bit thicker than what I'm used to. If you want slim, go for the Leek. My one issue with this knife is the thumb stud. The grippy bit is unnecessarily coarse and sticks out rather far. It may not be kind to my jeans in the long run. But that is a minor issue for me. I like this knife so much that I am very tempted add the other variations to my collection. My other EDC knives may not see use for quite some time. EDIT: I loved this knife so much that I got the other two variants, the wood and the antler handle versions. The fit and finish varies dramatically. The wood handled version, the metal lining was not polished flush with the scales in certain places. Not a big deal, but this was not an issue with the bone handle version. The antler version had to be replaced due to the liner lock not locking correctly upon deployment (which was fortunate because I wasn't too happy with the particular scales on the knife, aesthetically speaking). I received a replacement and the blade/lock functioned perfectly and the scales looked better, though I did noticed that the shape of the scales was dramatically different, as far as how the edges were rounded off. The previous version had much more of a beveled/rounded off shape where the new one was much more square. So its a bit of a 'luck of the draw" as to what you will receive.
Review: True gentlemen's pocket knife - After a lot of research, I decided to purchase the CRKT M4-02W. This is a second and more refined version of the M4 created by famed knife maker Kit Carson. The model has been in production for years, and has a large following. My research brought me to read many reviews. Most reviews were good, others mentioned issues that caused owners to rate the knife more middle of the road. Of those reviews, some had to do with the fasteners coming loose, something I've encountered in other knives, but nothing a little thread compound (like Loctite) didn't solve. My M4 knife has not had loose fasteners. The majority of the issues reported with the M4 were with the assisted opening (some examples of those comments are listed here on desertcart). I too had an issue with the opening mechanism, but as the manufacturer states, the knife loosens up after initial use, and mine did too. I took it a bit further, by loosening the adjustable assist spring, but now after more use, I may tighten it back up. Overall, this is a very high quality knife, with a thick blade, adjustable pivot and an auxiliary locking system. The walnut finish doesn't perfectly match from one side to another, but I didn't buy it to show and compare left and right sides to my friends. The walnut looks great, had small expansion gaps between scales and the metal frame, making it easy to clean and I assume if the wood swells it won't break against the frame from pressure. This is a wonderfully designed knife, and in my opinion it is well with the money. CRKT offers a lifetime parts replacement guarantee too back it up. Each user buys a knife for a specific reason, mine was the need for a gentlemen's knife for every day carrying. Do your research, and find the type that bests suits your needs. Happy hunting.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How long is the blade?**
A: I dunno what ruler the other reviewers used, but from ricasso to tip is 3 inches long and 3mm thick at it's spine. 3&3/16ths if you measure from the handle straight to the tip. Good steel, keeps a great edge and has a sort of modern/classic look. Sturdy.

**Q: the description says the item weighs 1lb.  that can't be right.  does anyone know?**
A: The description says 3.3 oz but I put mine on a digital postage scale and it was 3.6 oz. Not a light knife. My SOG Flash 2 is 2.8 oz.

**Q: Is this knife made in the USA?**
A: Designed in the USA, made in China (per the UPC sticker on the box)

**Q: The opening mechanism is the worst. Almost impossible to open that way. How can i file a groove in the blade so i can open it with my fingernail?**
A: Well, you answered your own question, though I’d use a bench grinder and be very, very careful about heating it up, you don’t want to do that!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice knife made perfect with a little work
*by C***E on September 7, 2015*

This is a really nice looking knife but it had a few flaws that needed attention right out of the box. After a little work this went from a 3 star to a 5 star review. First: The liner metal had very sharp edges. If you opened the knife and ran your fingers over the opening where the blade is stored when folded you'd find the edges so sharp they could have cut skin under the right circumstances. Second: The blade took some effort to swing open with the thumb screw. And when slowly closing it you could feel resistance where metal rubbed on rough metal. Both issues were easily fixed after buying a T06 Torx drive and removing the blade from the handle. There are some bronze washers that are on either side of the blade pivot hole that were supposed to make movement smooth and even but I found the washers to have rough surfaces. Using a Dremel tool with a polishing pad I simply polished the sides of the washers plus I polished the blade every place it contacted metal. The sharp liner metal edges were smoothed with a thin file that I ran over the handle very carefully. The result is a knife that is not uncomfortable to hold and is much easier and smoother to open and close with one hand. BTW this knife is a bit heavy at 3.6 ounces. Compare that to a 2.8 oz SOG Flash 2. But the balance is nice and the whole thing feels more solid and refined compared to the Flash 2.
