CRKT M16-10KS Folding Knife with Frame Lock: Stainless Steel Triple Point Serrations Blade, Stainless Steel Handle, Reversible Pocket Clip, M16-10KS

This is a very good quality, durable pocket knife that has been my EDC for over a year now. I have only needed to sharpen it once or twice since I purchased it. seems to be good quality steel that holds an edge well. Easy to whip open and to close one handed once you get used to it. Very nice sleek frame that is very strong despite how thin it is. Especially perfect size for people who have hands on the smaller side like mine. My only gripe is that the blade was only sharpened on one side making it not cut straight on certain materials. I have never seen anything better for the price.

I love these knives as they have a very slim profile for carrying in your pocket, have an easy thumb flick to open and lock mechanism, pocket clip is attachable on either left or right side, and the resistance of the opening blade can be adjusted if need be. This is a quality, unobtrusive, knife for a very affordable price, if you don't want people asking "is that a knife in your pocket or...?"

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.

I do really like this knife so far. It is a bit smaller than I expected though I didn't pay much attention to the size while ordering (so not taking anything off for that). The knife that was my EDC before I bought this was easy to open with a wrist flick or from a quick flip of the thumb peg at the base of the spine - so that is how I am accustomed to opening them currently. The thumb peg on this one doesn't do much on opening for me and I so far have not been able to get it to flick open. However the knurled knub on the back of the handle opens it very easily, though I'm not a fan of the placement of the knife in my hand that I have to use for that. (It is likely because I have very large hands and the knife is smaller than I would like, but while opening if I'm not careful the tip of the blade scrapes against the heel of my hand). My main complaint about the knife is the sharpness of the factory edge. Its not that its not sharp, it has a decent edge, but I would prefer it to be extremely sharp from the factory. Especially since this knife is black I'd like to hold off as long as possible before sharpening or re-profiling the blade so as to not risk scratching up the finish (I do very much like the finish on this knife - both blade and handle so I don't want to ruin it) so a factory edge that is razor sharp would be better. However, the very tip of the blade is extremely sharp, I just wish the whole knife was as sharp as that. A couple of other small thoughts - My old knife had a bit of knurling on the liner-lock area. This isn't a big deal for me directly, but if I loan the knife to someone not familiar with liner locks knurling makes it easier to direct them how to close it. This knife does not have that. The serrations are not very deep at all, I would prefer them to be a bit more pronounced. I would have preferred a different variation of this knife that they don't appear to make - I would have preferred everything the same except with a Spear style instead of the Tanto (personal preference), though I do like this Tanto blade (I just would have preferred spear). As I have large hands I would love to have a big-brother of this knife - same design, etc. except 1.5x to 2x larger. All in all I do much like this knife and it will probably be my new EDC (unless I find where I lost my old one!).

I purchased this knife for EDC several months ago. I have carried it often and waited to write the review until I was familiar with it. The knife is well made and fits in the hand well. The clip keeps it sturdily clipped onto my jeans pocket. After practicing with the knife repeatedly I have become efficient at opening it and closing it with one hand. At first I was flummoxed at how to close the knife. However, it is just like any other skill and requires repetition to master. I have also lubricated the blade and it did help it open easier. Now that some of the lubrication has worn off the knife is again hard to open in one movement. Nevertheless, I work with it every day and each day it opens easier. I feel certain that with time it will loosen up and open freely with one hand. The knife came sharp and after trying it on many items, like you will with a new knife, I gave it a good sharpening to tweak the edge. Once very sharp, and before I became familiar with the Tanto point I did cut my finger pretty seriously opening a package. This was totally my fault. It did give me an opportunity to observe first-hand, so to speak, that despite its small size the M-16 knife can wreak havoc on human skin so be careful. I realize I am very unlikely to ever employ this knife in self defense. Nevertheless, as one of several personal security items I keep close it makes me feel much better than I did prior to owning it.

I carry and use it daily. Flicks open and closed with one hand, durable, holds an edge pretty well, and it's small and light so I don't notice it much when it's clipped to my pocket. Definitely worth the price!

Good knife , my second one , holds an edge and will sharpen to an extremely sharp edge .

Overall, a good SMALL knife. However, the knife I received has an issue with the blade lock getting "stuck" when the knife is "flipped" open with any force. Really it is the way you would expect to open a knife like this, but the locking bar on the knife I received is too tight and when the blade is out becomes very difficult to close. Maybe this issue will correct itself as the knife gets used. Overall a nice buy for the price.

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.

Couteau de qualité, petit et léger comme je m'y attendais. CRKT est toujours aussi intéressant au niveau rapport qualité/prix. Lame très bonne pour ce prix.
