CRM1601S: M16-01S - Spear Point - Designed by Kit Carson
CRKT
The M16 –SS EDC Series - A proven knife design platform made simple, made tough, and made affordable.
If you are a fan of the Kit Carson designed M16 tactical folding knives you are going to want to check out these stainless steel (SS) variations.
Handles are shaped and contoured in the same confident grip M16 style, but are crafted of a retro flavored stainless steel. Handles are all finished in a classic black oxide finish. These folders are available in several blade style options including cutting edge configurations, each with their own user advantages to offer. Blades also feature the Carson Flipper for quick and convenient blade actuation—and the flipper doubles as an effective blade guard in the open position. Blade lock up is secured through the traditional framelock mechanism.
The M16-SS EDC Series is a straight up, "no frills" every day carry folder design that kicks butt in pure performance and value.
Features
Stainless steel pocket clip is movable and provides for convenient carry/access.
A robust, rigid handle/frame construction is tough, yet still overall compact for low impact carry.
8Cr Stainless Steel
One of the most common budget stainless steels, it maintains a competitive combination of edge retention and toughness in its price range.
Steel Handles
Stainless Steel knife handles provide strength and durability and look and feel great.
Pocket Clip
Includes a pocket clip for easy accessibility and a more secure carry.
Frame Lock
Developed by Chris Reeve, it functions like a liner lock but the lock is comprised of one of the handle scales. It's an extremely strong and easy to manipulate lock.

Pros: Ease of Opening
Cons: None
Good knife
I lose knives, so I have owned three of these. I lose one, and I buy another. For every day use, I don’t want a high priced knife that I need to baby, instead I want a knife to cut, scrape, and even pry with. This knife does all of that and has proven to be tough. The blade isn’t premium steel, but it holds an edge well enough and is easy to sharpen. As long as it is clean it flips well; when it is dirty it doesn’t. When it gets stiff, flushing with water under a faucet, and giving it a light spray of oil gets things moving again.

Pros: Weight, Ease of Opening, Pocket Clip
Cons: None
Good knife
Good knife overall, except it had a hard time cutting A4 printing paper straight out of box (clean cut after a bit of sharping). The flip works after a few try without using my wrist, and the tip is very pointy.

This is a fantastic knife for any LEO.When you're carrying a loaded duty belt it get's heavy.The great thing about this M16 is while it fits nice in hand you're getting a 3 plus inch blade at only 2.6 ounces. :) The slim closed profile of the knife can easily clip into a pocket holding other gear such as a wallet and you forget it's there.Although the blade steel isn't a super steel,it's easy to resharpen to a razor edge.Deployment speed and ease is outstanding. Knife Center Rocks!
