I was a bit on the fence since this was a little more than I wanted to spend on a new knife. But I've never had a bad experience with CRKT before so I pulled the trigger and got one. As soon as I opened this knife I was floored. Incredible action and fit. Blade sat exactly in the middle of the handle and as it rocketed out of its closed position it mare a convincing "snap". Shaving sharp and beautiful I am looking forward to purchasing the others in the titanium line.

Full Size. M16. Big Dog. Tanto Blade was thinking of buying this knife.BUT is it true it is made in Taiwan???? And are all your knives made in Taiwan? I thought all were made in US. Going to checkout all my CRKT knives to make sure. ***CRKT RESPONSE - CRKT Knives are currently manufactured in China and Taiwan. CRKT

Been a CRKT customer for 10 year. Have purchased several knives and requested parts. Never a problem or disappointment with your product or customer service. As a matter of fact I own an M16-13T that I used daily for then 5 years. One day part of the locking mechanism broke. I requested parts, you requestied that I mail it back to you. Less then a week later you sent me a new kife. This is why I will never buy from any other company. Semper Fi

Imagine my disappointment to discover the word Taiwan etched in tiny letters near the hinge of the blade on this knife. It's a great design but for its premium price it should have be made right here in America C'mon CRKT, you seem to pride yourself in serving our military with your products. It's time for you to rethink your position about where those products are made and support our country from within, too ***CRKT RESPONSE CRKT is a family owned/operated Oregon company that provides over 30+ jobs right here in Tualatin, Oregon. Founder Rod Bremer has graciously guided this company to stand for quality, innovation, and value at a competitive price. We manufacture overseas in China and Taiwan much like Apple, Nike (Oregon), Columbia Sportswear (Oregon), and many other great American companies. One important note about CRKT is that we are not foreign owned. We are locally owned; any and all of CRKT company profit generated stays here locally in the U.S. It's a global economy at this point and all of us here at CRKT in customer service, QC quality control department, corporate office, shipping, receiving, operations and IT (yes...IT is right here with us) are very grateful to have jobs to provide for our families and contribute to the local economy here in Oregon and the United States.

I got this when i was in iraq in 2004-2005 its the best knife i have

I purchased this knife for my husband for Valentines Day. He loves it Great design and feel to it, super sharp he carries it in his pocket all the time.

I've owned my M16-14T for about two years and its easily one of the best knives I've ever owned. I'm a fan of the steel despite its mild spotting, it sharpens easily and holds an edge well for my purposes. The knife in general holds up well to abuse, no problems with the lock sticking after tough cutting jobs and the .140" thick blade has a nice heft to it. I've had a few minor issues as far as fasteners coming loose but nothing preventative maintainance dosen't cure. Columbia River has been nothing less than excellent as far as supplying replacement paarts for this as well as their other knives I own. To wrap it up, as long as your budget allows this is an excellent knife in the realm of tactical folders.

I bought this knife from the BX (base exchange). I have owned it for a couple of months, and I like it. I use it for everything, whether it be for work or for recreation it is truly an all-around knife. I have had one big issue with the knife though. The main issue is the fact that the blade is rusting, I think the bead blasted finish is the main cause of this. The best way to get rid of the rust spots I have found is to use Hoppes no. 9 gun cleaner then finish by scrubbing with a pencil eraser. All in all I love this knife and it was worth every penny of the purchase price.

Love my knife used it every day even for things I shouldn't have during deployments. Little bit of rust mostly from weather extremes. Easily cleaned almost functions better now. Clip came off due to aircraft vibrations however it fit better on the belt of my holster for my 9mm. I liked the bigger size so if when dropped it would go into cracks of the aircraft so easily.
