Very nice knife, it arrived so sharp it could shave hair. Good lock and nice design. The only downside for me is that it's a bit too small. In the end, I gave it to my wife for her handbag. My wife likes it, but for me a bigger CRKT is better :) But the product is top for a good price.
Folding knife crafted by Kit Carson, drawing inspiration from the renowned M16 series. Features a blade with a Spear Point profile, forged from D2 tool steel, a material celebrated for its exceptional wear resistance. Enhanced with a Titanium Nitride coating, the blade boasts increased hardness and long-lasting durability.
The advanced IKBS ball bearing mechanism ensures seamless, one-handed blade deployment via the flipper, which doubles as a cross guard, offering superior protection by keeping the user’s hand from slipping onto the blade during use. An integrated thumb stud on the blade provides an alternative opening option. The secure and rapid Liner Lock firmly holds the blade in place when open, supporting effortless single-handed operation.
The ergonomically contoured handle scales are made of glass-reinforced nylon for outstanding strength and reliability. Multiple holes in the handle’s skeletonized design reduce weight, and a lanyard hole is positioned at the end for added versatility.
A steel clip allows for easy and secure attachment to a belt, pocket, or gear, making transport convenient.

For me, it's a great knife, very compact dimensions - ideal for urban EDC, and it has a military character. I used to have this model, back when it had Aus 4, but I lost it somewhere. This version is even better - perfect build quality (like the old releases), runs even faster on bearings (although its predecessor with Teflon washers wasn’t lacking in that regard either), and the steel is much better at holding sharpness and cutting aggression. In my opinion, the color variant is fantastic. I recommend it with a clear conscience.

A classic from this company. The knife is sturdy, mechanically flawless. Materials are of good quality. A great suggestion as an everyday knife with a military tactical vibe. I recommend it.
-
A small, handy knife for everyday carrying.
-
Solid knife, well made, no play at all, I recommend it
-
Great quality craftsmanship, it is durable and lightweight, and due to the proper profile it has good penetrating properties. Factory sharpness is very good.
-
Very nice, classic, light knife for EDC, I recommend.
-
Perfect knife for EDC, low weight, good steel that stays sharp for a long time, I recommend.
-
I just picked it up and it's better than I imagined. Light, pretty, and sharp as a razor :) RECOMMEND
-
Great knife, a bit expensive, but solidly made. Sometimes you need to tighten the main screw, but you can do it with your finger in two seconds.
-
Very compact and perfect for everyday use. This is already my next CRKT knife and I don't regret it. And to Piotr, if you buy something and don't touch it, then you regret it later. And if you tried it, where does all the complaining come from? I recommend the knife, and I advise not to listen to weak comments not backed by any money...

The only thing that surprised me was the size of this knife (it's really small and perfect for everyday use). As for the craftsmanship, fitting, and sharpness, I have no complaints. So far, I am very satisfied, a really well-made piece.

This knife is a failure. Right out of the box there is play in the liner. The quality of workmanship leaves a lot to be desired and this tragic AUS4 steel, that is 420.
