Kershaw Junkyard Dog II?
- Thread starter Boberama
- Start date
Haven't handled the Kershaw, so I have no opinion on it.
A CRKT M16-14T titanium has been one of my most-carried knives since 2003. Holds a good edge, doesn't weigh much but has enough mass in the blade for a good cut, and is pretty easy to open one-handed.
So the Kershaw may be as good, or better, for all I know. But I can recommend the CRKT on its own merits.

Thanks Mleake.
I see there is a discontinued model of the -14D in black, the -14M.
Do you know why they discontinued it?
I'd prefer a black version, but I'm worried the black finish may have been inferior.
For some reason the apparently identical -14M also weighs 0.1 oz more.

Sorry, I don't know why they discontinued it.
As far as black vs stainless, or any other finish, go with what you like.
The things I liked about the CRKT, aside from edge-holding, weight, and balance, also include the durability and strength of the tanto point, and the serrated rear portion of the blade. (Very handy for instantly severing the twine that bundles hay bales, which is a useful trait around a horse barn; also not bad for cutting a seat belt or safety harness in a wreck - though that hasn't yet come into play.)
Also, the open design of the handle makes it easy to drain water from it, and clean and oil it. So the CRKT is the knife I normally take with me on white-water runs.
