Review: My favorite day-to-day knife - I own more than 70 knives -- most are folders -- and this is the one I carry every day. It clips unobtrusively inside my waistband, so I don't have a knife rolling around in my front pocket, bashing my keys or clanging around with coins. It lays comfortably at an angle and doesn't poke me when I'm seated at my desk or in the car. It's a small, reliable, indispensible tool. It cuts all kinds of materials well (from rope -- nylon and hemp -- to zip ties, cardboard, packing tape, and rubber hose). I like the partially-serrated edge for the tough jobs. I have another CRKT M16 with the drop-point blade, but I prefer the tanto point because it's more substantial when piercing tougher materials (like leather). Mine was sharp out of the box, but I gave the edge a quick freshening and stropping as a matter of habit. Like any knife it does require sharpening every once in a great while, but an occasional quick deburring of the edge keeps it cutting smoothly and cleanly, and extends the interval between sharpening. I've found that the CRKT M16s I've owned are a little stiff when new; the blade lock/release is particularly notchy. But if you work the blade open and closed a dozen times or so the locking/relase action becomes very smooth. I've played with the tension of the blade retention screw, but honestly I didn't see any benefit -- the several I own were adjusted well from the factory. This isn't really a self-defense knife -- it would need to be about 20% larger, and IMHO that would make it too large for a 'daily carry' knife, especially around the office. But the blade is stout for a knife of this size; the blade lock is postive and firm, and the handle provides very good grip even when your hands are slippery. So in a self-defense situation, I'd much rather have this knife at hand than most other folders. Overall, a great day-to-day carry knife. And at this price, it's a steal. UPDATE July 2013: Yes, I still carry this CRKT every day; still just as sharp and as reliable as the first day I bought it. Haven't had any issues with the blade locking system. Use this knife regularly and the muscle memory will take over in short order; it really is a one-handed operation to open or close this little gem. Only difference over the last two years is that I've bought a total of four more -- one for the glovebox of each car and one in the nightstand. Simple, well made, reliable, and a good value -- what more could you want?
Review: A Great EDC Knife - This knife has the famous CRKT quality and unique doubly secure locking feature. It is very lightweight but surprisingly strong and the blade was very sharp right out of the package. Once locked open to close it you need to pull the red dot locking lever back and simultaneously move the liner lock aside. All of that happens with one hand. Opening it is fast and easy. Just pull the stud and the blade flips out and locks. Again with just one hand. The blade is substantial and nearly as long as a large folder weighing twice as much. Altogether these features make this one of the best knives to keep with you. My only caveat is I don't think 440c stainless has the edge retention of some of the better knife steel. The good news is that the blade is pretty stout and occasional sharpening is something most of us are willing to do. Still, I would happily pay a little more for a high end steel and the amount used to make a blade this size probably doesn't cost that much.

## Features

- Brute Strength: Frame lock utilizes a thick lock bar to secure the blade
- Cutting Power: Triple Point serrations cut fibrous materials with ease
- Enhanced Protection: Black coating improves corrosion resistance
- Designed by Kit Carson in Vine Grove, Kentucky
- Limited Lifetime Warranty covers any defects in materials or workmanship, see company site for details

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ One of the best purchases I've ever made on Amazon.
*by E***S on April 4, 2021*

When I first got the knife, I was genuinely impressed at just how nice it looked. This knife is everything I was expecting it to be AND MORE. I thought it looked nice in the pictures on the product page, but oh man it looks even BETTER in person. The pictures don't do it enough justice, but it looks awesome and feels awesome too! The stainless steel handle is what gives it that nice, clean look and feel to it. As for the blade, I'd say it came sharpened pretty well right out of the box and it looks just as nice as the handle. Great construction all around the knife and great quality. For the money, you are most definitely getting what you paid for. Just keep in mind that this knife isn't very big so don't expect it to be. And if you have smaller to average sized hands it'll feel great in your hands. Maybe not so much if you have larger hands so just keep that in mind. It doesn't take up much space in my pocket at all which is great. It may not be the most expensive or sharpest or biggest knife in the world, but it is a damn good knife. This will be one of the best purchases you'll ever make if you're not THAT into knives like me and are just looking for a simple knife to carry around and use everyday. Looking forward to carrying this around with me all the time as part of my EDC.
