Bought a CRKT Endorser for pocket carry today. I have always liked CRKT knives and own quite a few. So far I'm really liking this one.

Nice and thin, assisted opening with thumb stud actuation. The scales are G10 in laminated shades of brown and the blade is black.

Push down on the thumb stud and flick the blade open. Very handy. Pocket clip lets it ride deep in the pocket, secure but at hand.

I think I'm going to like this one.

About 20 years ago I bought a group of 20 CRKT "PECK" and "KISS" knives and gave them as Christmas gifts. They were great, just wrap a $20 bill around it and drop in your pocket before you get on the airplane. Those days are gone, but the knives remain! Stick a well made folder in your pocket and you are ready for the world.

Here is a little bit of eye candy for you knife lovers. 4th from left is my
CRKT. It is an Anubis auto. 3.5" Aus 8 blade. 6.4 oz. design by
Elishewitz.

Far left is a Piranha. Extremely sharp. Could double as a razor or scalpal.
2nd from left is an S&W.
3rd from left is the Boker Kalashnikov KALS 74.
5th from left is a Benchmade Apparition "assisted opener".
6th from left happens to be my favorite. Its the Kershaw
Junkyard Dog II with "flipper technology".

My boy is big on his CRKT Swindle, a Ken Onion design that is a bit Leekish. A few years ago, I just had to have a M21-14SFG, but I tired of it pretty quickly.

It came almost as a blessing when my junkie stepson stole it to buy drugs. I guess it shows the real audience for the knife. At least he got it out of here before it broke.

I am of two minds about CRKT knives. On the one hand, they have some interesting designs. On the other, I have found their lock work to be fiddly and unreliable.

I don't know the Sensor, but I wish you well with it.
 
I have 3 CRKT knives, but I carry an SOG. Both companies can make good knives, but not all of either is good. You have to be careful what you buy.

I had been carrying a SOG Trident that I'd picked up but there are two ways to lock it to prevent it from opening and it seemed every time I needed the knife one lock or the other, or sometimes both, were engaged. Plus the blade wobbled.

The only problem I've had with CRKT's is the kid or the grandkid bumming them and never bringing them back. And even that's ok, it gives me a reason to buy a new design and try it out.
