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

Owned this knife for over 2 years and it deserves a good review. Upon receiving the knife, it was smaller than I expected, even after watching videos and looking at pictures of it. Handle feels like the width of 2 ballpoint pens laid together, so it's not for heavy use, but this makes it completely dissapear clipped in your pocket. Lightweight and deep carry clip make it easy to forget about. I got the tanto tip and serrations, which look cool, but if I had to do again I would do away with the serrations. I don't find much use for them and they just make it harder to sharpen. A lot of reviews mention the AutoLawks extra spring lock, and truthfully, unless you're a complete moron, this is simple and nothing to complain about. Very easy to get used to, even in your non dominant hand. In fact, when I use other knives without it, they feel unsecure. There is no spring assist with the flipper, something I'm used to with previous Kershaws. This knife requires a motion similar to aggressively flipping a light switch off. Stays as sharp as can be expected, nice size, looks good and works great, could not be happier with a $30 knife. Note: The first knife that was sent to me through Amazon was very stiff. With all the strength in my pointer finger, (and I don't have weak fingers..I got some buff fingers) I could not use the flipper to deploy the blade. Sent it to CRKT and their replacement has been working flawlessly since.

This knife has the famous CRKT quality and unique doubly secure locking feature. It is very lightweight but surprisingly strong and the blade was very sharp right out of the package. Once locked open to close it you need to pull the red dot locking lever back and simultaneously move the liner lock aside. All of that happens with one hand. Opening it is fast and easy. Just pull the stud and the blade flips out and locks. Again with just one hand. The blade is substantial and nearly as long as a large folder weighing twice as much. Altogether these features make this one of the best knives to keep with you. My only caveat is I don't think 440c stainless has the edge retention of some of the better knife steel. The good news is that the blade is pretty stout and occasional sharpening is something most of us are willing to do. Still, I would happily pay a little more for a high end steel and the amount used to make a blade this size probably doesn't cost that much.

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

This is a great, lightweight knife for everyday carry. I usually carry a Kershaw Ken Onion Folder with Speed Safe opening assist but found 2 small issues with that knife: 1. That it could sometimes feel a little heavy due to its all metal construction (really, not an actual flaw, my pants just sag a wee bit and I tighten my belt a bit) 2. It scared the crap out of the people around me when I opened the knife because of the speed at which it opened and the length and width of the blade itself (the funny thing is that the blade is only slightly longer than this Columbia Knife's blade, its just wider) So with that in mind, I decided I would need to find a more lightweight knife that was also a bit slimmer and found this Columbia River Knife. This is a pretty good knife, it's made very well and the blade arrives razor sharp with no sharpening required. A small portion of the knife blade, at the bottom, is serrated if you need that function. The knife uses a special locking mechanism that they call the AutoLAWKS system which is basically a small switch/pin that keeps the knife open during use. To close, you pull the switch back, push the metal part that keeps the knife open (don't know what its called) and then close the knife. They advertise that the knife can be opened or closed one handed but its still kind a of a pain to do this one handed, but I may just need to break in the knife more. Also, the clip on the knife is can be removed or moved to the other side of the knife, depending on your preference but this requires a small Torx screwdriver to remove the screws/ I knocked off a star because of the following reasons: 1. I might have been spoiled by my Kershaw but the grip of the knife feels super cheap due to the fact that the grip is made from plastic. I sometimes feel like I am grasping a toy when I hold the knife and really can't say I like that feeling. 2. While the grip has some holes to improve your grasp, the texture of the knife is pretty smooth and gives me a feeling that the knife might slip out of my hand. I wish they included some checkering into the grip or had some sort of rubber insert installed. 3. The product dimensions are listed in the production description for the knife and you can already see an image of the knife but I just want to echo the sentiment of a previous reviewer: this knife is really really slim. With the knife open the grip isn't even .75 inches wide; I have small hands as it is and I feel like this knife is too small for my hands sometimes. If you have large hands you may want to look at something that is larger. Overall a good knife. If the grip was a little wider and had an improved texture I'd give this knife a full 5 stars.

Well built knife, easy to open, and close.

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
