Pros: Blade Material, Overall Quality, Ease of Opening, Lock Ease of Use, Pocket Clip, Lock Type
Cons: None

10 years of everyday use and going strong.

I have owned this knife for 10 years and not one complaint. I use it daily and its great. I have sharpened it a hand full of times in the past years. It has out lasted many of my other knives that I buy to compare it to. You won't be disappointed.

CRKT M16-04Z

I BOUGHT THIS KNIFE TODAY AT THE MALL FOR 60 DOLLARS. I THINK IT IS A VERY NICE KNIFE FOR THE MONEY .I HAVE 3 OTHERS IN THE M16 CATEGORY. I LIKE THE SIZE AND DESIGN . I DO HOWEVER QUESTION THE BLADE STEEL IF YOU CHECK OTHER KNIFE RETAILERS YOU WILL SEE IT HAS AUS4 AUS 6 AUS8 STEEL LISTED AS THE BLADE STEEL AND I DONT KNOW WHICH TO BELIEVE. FOR THE PRICE THOUGH IT SEEMS TO BE A QUALITY KNIFE . THE BLADE IS THICK THE LINER ADEQUATE THE HANDLE IS KIND OF NICE THE DESIGN IS ATTRACTIVE . I THINK IT IS A WINNER.

this is a solid knife for the price that you pay

First and foremost, this is a solid knife for the price that you pay. I have only three minor dislikes about the knife. 1.) The handle feels a little "off", nothing major just like something that's nagging you at the back of your mind. 2.) The liner lock looks a little thin. I haven't had a chance to put it to the test yet, but I have doubts that it will hold up under extreme emergency situations. 3.) The knife was clearly designed for a forward grip, holding it in reverse is not as comfortable.

Cons: Weight, None
Take care this 'shark' is as sharp as a razor. Very impressive sharpness. The opening system with the stud on the blade is great. It react as an automatic without being one. very good feeling with this blade. But a little bit too heavy to be a 'classic suit' pocket.

First and tough

How is this everyones first folder ? Same for me, 6 years now and still strong, no play. Have hard used in forest, have thrown into wood, have reprofiled many times, still yards of metal left to go. The only downside is blade steel - price ratio

Good strong working knife

My first flipper knife. I'm well impressed with the flipper action. Big and 'muscular' blade. Haven't used it to frequently to judge its edge retention. I find it a little heavy or maybe because its my first big folding knife. Downside is the pocket clip which feels a bit 'cheap'.
