Cons: None
I LIKE THEM ALL!
I have been collecting M16s since Kit Carson first designed them! Not a big fan of the Auto-Lawks models, but I own them all as must-haves in my collection, and I understood the reason for their Inclusion in the line at the time (Politics?) But I must admit the KS versions are the knives I like the best; the Auto-Lawks are gone, four-way clips, lighter weight, great blade steel, wonderful design (though I do wish I could get both blade designs in each size!) I also own the fixed blade: and I love it, too. Perfect light weight for treking along wooded paths, and a good fishing companion! I think I own more CRKT M16s than any other knife line, though the Kershaw Leek must run a very close second!

Pros: Blade Sharpness
Cons: Handle Feel
Is passable
Overall is a average knife, and get the job done.....for the most part. Blade comes sharp and stays sharp for the most part. I have not had to sharpen it too much. But my main complaint is in the fact as too its overall size. I have fairly decent size hands and the width of the handle is under half and inch in width. I am a cautious person and go by better safe than sorry. This may have double handguards but it still feel like with just a slip of the hand you will slice the daylights out of your hand, and if you put a lot of muscle behind your blade you will definitely be in some trouble. My cons: -not enough grip on the handle -does not open as easily as you would like

Pros: Weight, Blade Material
Cons: None
Flimsy. Disappointed. :(
The sandvik steel is awesome The look is very good. The clip allows lightening fast deployments from the pocket. Butter smooth deployment ability. I bought 1 without noticing massive blade and "frame" play. But then.... I tightened the pivot screw. Still flimsy. I made mistakes of ordering another one and it has the same problem. Not happy with this model. Both framelocks have massive blade play side to side and back and forth I can't trust it. I have 2 m21 big dogs and love them. Solid as f.... I also have 2 m16 big dogs and they are stellar. So I hope they let me exchange these 2 framelocks for a special forces knife. I was hoping they would add nicely to the kit Carson line. No way These are 2 paper tigers.
