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.
The M16 knife line, designed for everyday carrying (Every Day Carrying), stands out with its clean design, superior craftsmanship, and practical functionality. The M16-01S was crafted by Kita Carson, a leading figure in the knifemaking industry.
A cutting edge with a spear point profile showcases the Bead Blast finish, providing a consistent, sleek look. The handle is ergonomically shaped for a reliable hold, made from stainless steel and protected by a black oxidized coating for enhanced aesthetics and strength.
Featuring a frame lock mechanism, the knife utilizes a curved portion of the handle as its lock. The built-in flipper also acts as a thumb guard to help prevent hand slippage onto the blade.
A dedicated clip provides convenient attachment to a belt or pocket, making the folder perfectly suited for daily carry.

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.
