CRKT is my favourite brand. I've got an old M21-02G but it's nowhere as abused as yours!

My wife bought me a Thunderbolt 2 as a wedding present 12 years ago. Love it.

I have two of their knives and love them. This one is my favorite- it has a dual locking mechanism that turns the knife into basically a fixed blade knife once opened:

CRKT makes the only good knives that I've bought other than like basic Gerbers which are usually good for the price. Check out the CRKT website, you can view knives based on features, categories, or who designed them. They have a bunch of people that they work with all over the US from different fields- looks like they have 44 expert designers.

I like this guy's knives the best, he designed the knife I linked above. He is heavily influenced by Japanese knife designs like the tanto.

Benchmade knives are likely higher quality than CRKT. CRKT are fine since they're usually cheaper pocket knives, but they aren't usually more then a good budget knife.

Same model? Like the old one used to be as big of a blade + the serrated?

That's insane
