Review: Another great CRKT knife. - I had the original K.I.S.S knife from CRKT. I also have a small CRKT fixed blade knife. They are both great knives. Recently, I decided I'd like another CRKT folder. The M16-01S is another win for CRKT. Well made and study, yet small enough not to dominate your pocket. The minimal handle makes it light weight and discreet when it's in your pocket. It came factory sharp out of the box, which is fine. But I honed it to a finer edge. Now, it's really sharp and seems to hold the edge well. I really like the combination of compact, with a full three inch blade. The look of it is nice too. Tactical, but not "tacti-cool", you know. The only issues I have with the knife are the liner lock and the thumb stud. The knife is made so that it doesn't snag in your pocket, which is great, but that makes the thumb stud difficult to articulate. The tab on the back makes up for it, but I'm so used to opening a knife with my thumb, that it seems unnatural. The liner lock works well, but again, it tucked way in as to make it difficult to access easily. This is not to say, however, that I'm not happy with the knife. All in all it's really nice. I expect, as it wears in, it will become easier. Plus, I'll get used to opening the blade with my index, instead of my thumb over time. As with all knives, adjust the pivot screw to make blade deployment easier. Mine came pretty snug, and I had to back it off a bit to make it work smoothly.
Review: Perfect - I've been collecting pocket knives for basically my whole life and this is perfect in my opinion. Perfect size, weight and came razor sharp out of the box. Smoothe function on the locking system, high speed low drag with the ball bearing washers. For what I consider a perfect EDC blade, this is a great value.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ High quality and good looking knife.
*by N***C on September 15, 2025*

Had a CRKT knife before but because of lack of maintainance on my end it had rusted. Got this knife and was surprised at the looks and quality which were a step up from my previous knife which was already a very nice knife.
