CRKT M16-10KSF EDC Folding Pocket Knife: Special Forces Everyday Carry, Black Serrated Edge Blade, Tanto, Frame Lock, Dual Hilt, Stainless Steel Handle, Reversible Pocket Clip

This is a beautiful, perfect , very small knife from my favorite company. First and for most I am a real life human not a bot. I can never tell if a bot or a human is writing these so let’s be very clear about it right now. The knife is good. I love this company and iv been using these knives specifically the M16 -14DSFG and this is the smaller version of that knife. It’s durable, it’s sharp, it’s very very comfortable and ergonomic. I love a double locking feature becuase it insure the blade won’t close on your hand. It’s perfect for small tasks that a big knife is too much for. I definitely recommend if you need a tiny knife for tiny problems. (I’m leaving the typos so you know it’s real. )

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?

This knife is perfect for everyday use. It's on the smaller side, which makes it ideal for carrying in your pocket without feeling bulky. While a larger knife might be better suited for construction work, the M16 tackles most everyday cutting tasks with ease. One of the things that drew me to this knife was the incredible value. For the price, you're getting a high-quality CRKT blade with their ingenious features like the flipper and secure locking mechanism. The flipper deployment is smooth and effortless, and it doubles as a finger guard when the blade is open. I also like that it has a safety button for added security. Speaking of size, I wasn't sure at first if it would be big enough. But even at its sub-5-inch size, it feels great in my hand and the blade is plenty long for daily use. Plus, it's lightweight and thin enough to comfortably carry in dress slacks, even in the coin pocket. The blade itself is fantastic. It came razor-sharp out of the box and has held its edge well for months of use. The tanto point is a great choice for everyday tasks and some reviewers even mentioned its potential for self-defense situations, although that's not why I bought it. The double-beveled blade is easy to sharpen too, which is a plus. The only knock I have on this knife is the steel. While the 440C stainless steel is good, some higher-end steels might hold an edge a bit better. But honestly, for the price and how easy it is to sharpen, it's a minor complaint. Overall, I'm incredibly happy with my CRKT M16.

j'avais perdu le premier que j'avais eu et celui-ci m'avais tellement conquis que j'ai décidé de me le racheter. le manche est en zytel finition noir satiné. La lame est de longueur respectable en acier 8Cr13MoV un excellent acier qui lui confère une très bonne durabilité. j'ai pu l'utiliser pendant 6 mois tous les jours sans le réaffuter.

Ich habe für das Messer rund 30€ bezahlt. Wurde in entsprechender Pappe Box geliefert und gut verpackt um eventuelle Schäden zu vermeiden. Das Messer war nach kurzem probieren an einem Karton scharf. Normal dicke Armhaare können damit leicht abrasiert werden ohne mehrmals drübergehen zu müssen. ABER. Das Flippmechanismus ist etwas schwergänglich. Ich empfehle es vor Benutzung zu ölen und die Schraube leichter zu machen, bis das eingeklappte Messer noch ein ganz kleines Wenig sich bewegen kann (im Rahmen). Weiterhin MUSS das Rahmen auf der unteren Seite abgepfeilt werden, da die Metallkannten sehr scharf sind. Beim Öffnen wird der Zeigefinger sehr schnell "zerkrazt", daher einfach mal etwas abrunden. Die Qualität hätte ich bei einem Messer von CRKT nicht schlechter Eingeschätzt und daher ist das Messer für mich ein absoluter Gewinner und unschlagbar in dieser Preisklasse.

Es mas pequeña de lo que pensaba, tiene un buen filo. El único pero que le puedo poner es que el clip de sujeción no lo puedes cambiar de posición como en los modelos grandes.

Top Qualität, schönes und funktionales Design. Dazu kompakt und leicht. Carson Flipper funktioniert wie geschmiert. Habe es immer dabei: Wandern, Patroullie mit dem Schäferhund, Angeln, Pilze sammeln, ….

Buena calidad precio
