CRKT M4 Folding Knife Review

The M4 by Columbia River Knives and Tools is a massively impressive knife with plenty of understated elegance.

Lets start with the handle: black G10 on the bottom which flows into classy bead blasted stainless steel bolsters. It has steel liners, which ridge up on the back and are jimped for great thumb control. The M4 has a liner lock with CRKT's Auto Lawks secondary lock system.

This creates a virtual fixed blade, in that without disengaging the secondary lock, the primary liner lock CANNOT close. An ideal blade for those tough cutting tasks that you don't normally want to put a knife through, like notching wood or batoning through logs to make firewood. This knife can handle it.

The blade is of the tried and true drop point design with a bead blasted, high hollow grind that is slightly convexed. The blade is thumb stud deployable, and can come with the Assisted Opening feature, which requires you to manually start deployment, and a spring engages which finishes the motion until the blade double locks securely. Of course, with all speed assisted knives, this can easily be removed by unscrewing the torsion bar.

The pocket clip is non adjustable in the tip down carry method, so that the blade cannot be engaged when removed from the pocket. This is a versatile knife that can be used at home, at a construction site, in the great outdoors, or at your next social gathering in the pocket of your tux. How will you use yours?
