M16-03KS

CRKT knives are I think are an exceptional value for what they cost! They make a solid knife that holds up well to hard use, the steel takes an edge quickly and holds it edge better than most. This M16 03 is a nice looking folder with a false edge on the top of the blade. Knife lock up is solid and the pocket spring clip holds well. CRKT makes several knives in the M16 series and offer some higher end features like ball bearings on the blade fold mechanism, higher grade steels for the blade etc. Rock solid folder for a great price!

Just got this classic reissue Kit Carson design M16-03KS for my collection and it’s beautiful. All black stainless steel handle and blade. It’s tight all around. Nothing loose. Blade came sharp and perfectly centered. Takes some pressure to flip open with the fin but once it releases it snaps open nicely. It’s new so with some oil and use I’m sure it will take less effort. The frame lock lines up nicely on the tang when opened. I love the overall design with the spear point. Not sure if I’ll ever use it for an edc it’s just too dang pretty. I’ll enjoy showing it. However, if it performs as good as it looks it would make a great edc for light duty or tactical use. A truly sweet knife.

This knife is SHARP right out of the box, I actually ended up having an accident where I cut my hand and required two stitches, that’s how sharp it is. Its actually kind of light so it you doesn’t feel heavy when its in your pocket, the clip holds nice, I use it to cut whenever I need to and it feels good in the hand however the handle is a little thin but you get use to it, opens smoothly. Great product and worth the money

This little pocket knife is slim, but feels extremely solid when you flip the blade out and grip the handle. The flip-tab acts as a grip guard to prevent your hand from slipping onto the edge. The flip is smooth, and the blade feels secure in both the closed and open positions. The frame lock is very secure, and I do not have any concern it will fail. I did receive mine with a sharp edge, but I went ahead and refined it using a leather strop; now it's sharp enough to shave. One reviewer pointed out the Titanium handle could be slippery, but I have not experienced that with this Stainless handle.

Knife is great except that the thumb studs on the blade are useless and the liner lock is flush with the cutout for the useless thumb studs which means that you really have to diyour thumb in there to disengage the lock. If your hands are wet for whatever reason you’re more than likely to chew the skin on the tip of your thumb as well as mangle your thumb nail trying to close the knife . After a while I got used to it. It would have been smarter to have the thumb stud on one side of the blade and have the liner lock without a cut out; butter yet, just fore go the thumb studs completely an save on production costs. Other than that the knife is pretty dang sharp and pokey AF. It’s a really good fidget thingy but strangers may construe that as creepy. It’s a really satisfying EDC.

Amazingly slim and light weight but holding up great

I bought this exact knife and been carrying it daily since 2019. It’s been a very reliable and durable knife. I like how slim the whole knife is so it isn’t bulky and uncomfortable in your pocket. Love how easily its flicks open when it’s needed and the locking mechanism is very reliable. I just bought a second while it was sale as a backup. Would highly recommend this CRKT M16-03KS to anyone looking for a high quality knife that’s affordable, easy to carry,and use.

It cuts things and tape doesn't stick the blade as bad than an uncoated blade. Slow on the draw but that will improve with practice. I like it.

Came in good condition great design and good quality

Schönes, sauber verarbeitetes Messer. Von Werk aus schöne Schärfe der Schneide (rasiert Armhaare ohne Probleme). Fliper etwas straff, aber kein Problem da einstellbar (einzige Schlitzschraube an dem Messer, nach links drehen lockerer, nach rechts fester). Bin begeistert 👍

Das Messer ist leicht , robust und Sau scharf . Es ist leicht zu reinigen. Alles in allem sehr zufrieden mit dem Messer für den Preis kann man nichts falsch machen

Preis / Leistung top! Qualität wie erwartet 1A. Produkt und Lieferung wie erwartet.

Ab Werk eine gute Schärfe
