Here's a knife that i have had for years. I have used this knife from everything from household maintenance to camping/hunting/fishing. You name it and this knife has most likely cut it. I love the knife i think in about the 5 years that i have owned it i sharpened it maybe twice, and the thing still does any task i put it threw

Nice Stags...CRKT does make a good blade !

this is my crkt for everyday...

my old (1995) crkt m16...it is now retired.

i see stags and i have the same taste in crkt....

Yup...can't go wrong with a blade from CRKT !!

You just cant go wrong with the Iraqi Freedom blade.

ah...mine is not the iraqi freedom blade. but it looks just like it. color wise that is.

oh gotcha....its a beautiful blade anyways

The black aluminum handle version of this has been my EDC for around 10 years. The AUS8 steel is easy enough to sharpen and the blade is big enough for nearly all of my every day chores. I have no plans to replace it anytime soon.
