Just saw this on my homepage and this is the first knife I ever bought when I was 17 and still have it and just happen to have found it in my drawer today and sharpened it . Definitely not my favorite knife but meaningful to me.
CRKT, for being so affordable, have always made amazing flippers! I had mine for a long time before I broke it cause I was dumb and didn't know how to use a knife right haha. Live and learn, but the memories stay with you.
I got mine as an early christmas gift, and it feel better in my hands than a lot of other knives of comparable size. It's quite sleek and has a utilitarian charm to it.
Your right its not a word but yet it describes this knife perfectly! and for the tip up people...get over it...lol everything about this knife right down to the sub $15 price ( what I paid) is incredible, I love this knife! I was going to buy a Kershaw Ferrite ($54 knife) until I found this little gem!
I keep buying more expensive knives but always wind up back to this for my EDC. Blade is good quality and it's very slim in the pocket. I don't use the clip. And that blade shape makes it look REAL nasty if you have to whip it out in self defense situation.
I actually went into Gander Outdoors looking to buy the Kershaw Ferrite but this CRKT M16-01S caught my eye and the price being $30 cheaper didn't hurt any. I couldn't be any happier that I did, I have to admit the only dislike I have is that once it is locked open it is difficult to close again, I'm hoping over time it will get easier. I don't think that those are thumb studs on the blade for 2 reasons, I have never owned a knife with thumb studs that didn't (open) work without assistance other than your thumb and the actual product specs on the knife never mention them just the Flipper opening system for quick and convenient blade actuation, they seem more like (blade) stops then thumb studs? I have never owned an assisted opening knife before so the first several times I tried it, it didn't open very well but now it always works on the first try....I love this little knife and its quite sharp right out of the package!
M16-03Z is the knife that got me hooked again about 6 years ago.. 03Z has a 3.5" blade and auto lawks liner lock.. I had two and both flipped well with no issues.. I like the frame lock on this one..My tastes changed and don't like flippers.. I spend way too much on higher end production knives now..
Ima get me one of those and I came here to see more details about the construction, which was a little hard to spot, but I guess it was relatively okay to see, could have waited for focus tho. xD
probably crkt's most well known series lol I really like crkt and have developed a trust with crkt that they will be durable but then some of the new ones for 2017 have tephlon washers very disappointed to learn that I like the variety in this series
Josue Alvarez fyi.. I bought this knife new,and was stiff. Did a disasemble and cleaning, works great now. The lube that was in there almost appeared gummy and the bronze washer was rough, so I polished it. Also, those,aren't thumbstuds, there are in place of the stop pin, so angle isn't great to use to flip open.
I like that line. i skipped it however in favor of the m21-02g . I removed the second safety lock and its a good tool now. However i find that the liner lock is stiff as hell and hard on the thumb to close. good video! looking forward to more!
I can see where a larger version of this would be a little stiff; however this one doesn't give me any problems. Thank you for the comment and for the insight.
there was a CRKT I ran across a few months ago...I loved it & should have made a purchase...I can't remember what model for nothing...I will know it when I see it lolllolllol
I have one and it is a pain in the ass to unlock because the frames are too close together, so I'm going to dremel the other side down a little to help getting my finger to unlock the other side.
Yea buddy I got mine at Walmart for 20$ it's really great for the price!!
Sweet!!!
Rich Kocon hell ya, just got the same deal. One hell of a knife for 20 bucks
I've had the knife for four days now, I've always wanted one. And I haven't used it on anything but a carrot it cuts really well.
I liked it ...as soon as I held it in my hands, price ain't bad either. Perfect light duty EDC, larger hands will probably need to upgrade.

That's very cool.

I have ruined a couple knives in "dumb" mode. :)
Same, got it at wally for $20, straight up surgical feel and always the casual nod from knife enthusiasts.

It's a good knife. It has grown on me.
Got this at Walmart for $19.22. Nice EDC!
√ they are pretty good knives 👍
Oh, definitely. At that price point, especially.

It is a great blade. A big favorite.

Just got this knife yesterday love it already I have sog and Kershaw knives along with the m16 z but this one is a awesome edc knife
I like the M16. I just sent one out for PIF.
Great video, funny thing is i just pick it up at wall mart and was playing with it and your review popped up.
Oh great! How do you like it?
I really like it so far, Cleaned and lubed it and its flipping great.
Nice video & information on the knife.
Thank you!

It's a downward spiral. :)
What is the second knife that you have in the video?
The Timberline Chui.
never had one, but always wanted a m16 big dog
Thinking about getting the larger version.
Great review may end up picking one up.
Cool!!!
The longest lasting pocket knife I have ever owned
That's quite a testimonial.
Ima get me one of those and I came here to see more details about the construction, which was a little hard to spot, but I guess it was relatively okay to see, could have waited for focus tho. xD
Awesome knife. The m16 line got me hooked into knifes lol.
Oh, that's cool to know. Thank you.
Me too! CKRT cost me a few hundred bucks over the last few years.
Tested one last night at Walmart i flipped it open an it didnt fully lock in place...
Def send me away..
Need one for self defense
Good review !!!
Thank you!
probably crkt's most well known series lol
I really like crkt and have developed a trust with crkt that they will be durable but then some of the new ones for 2017 have tephlon washers very disappointed to learn that
I like the variety in this series
Oh, I hadn't heard about that. Thank you for the info.
I have that one but mine is really stiff, I can't even open it with the thumb studs
Oh, maybe this one got broken in a bit, because it flips nicely.

Listen to this man! He is a flipping expert! :)
flat screwdriver adjust pivot screw lad
Its a great little knife just too small for me. Hopefully whoever gets it in the PIF will enjoy it.
I am with you. Just a little bit more handle is needed.

Lol, I know how you feel. Thank you for watching. :)
Looks smallish in hand, and the tip down thing...but a very appealing knife, and at the price, you could decorate the desk, or console with style.
It is definitely a desk grabber. Thanks for the comment.
I have one and it is a pain in the ass to unlock because the frames are too close together, so I'm going to dremel the other side down a little to help getting my finger to unlock the other side.
Oh, cool idea. I'd like to see that mod.
But deh handles are aluminum.
19.99 at Lowes.
It's a classic, but if you pay more than $20 you're not looking hard enough; they can be had in the teens all day long.
Great news! Thank you!
Nice edc knife!
It is pretty cool.
I got thw same great knife
I can not close it help asap
You can't close the knife?
I'm not a pocket clip fan so it would just sit in the bottom of my pocket
Oh cool. It would work out nicely.
The pocket clip almost gives it a liner lock feel which u might prefer
Ive lost 2 of em........
I'm sorry to hear that.
Handle its not stainless i put a magnet on the handle it got stuck on it crkt u lie
The magnet stuck to it? That means it's steel.
@@Jimislash Yup it did so crkt lie about it
www.crkt.com/m16-01s-spear-point-stainless-steel-handle.html
@@Jimislash i got my from academy sports that handle is not stainless steel i use a magnet and it stuck to it
What do you think it is, if it's not stainless? A magnet will stick to stainless.
I subscribed! Also I have a channel☺ I bought this on amazon for 14.11$!
That's a nice deal.
Yup!
1st 😮
