CRKT M16-13SFG EDC Folding Pocket Knife

As other people have said, this knife is not the knife in the picture, if you want to know what it really looks like go to the CRKT website and look it up.The knife in the picture is an M16-14, which is a bit bigger but other than that not too much difference.As for this knife... all in all a pretty good knife, sharp enough to easily shave hair (we'll see how long it stays that way) with a nice G10 handle, happens to be my favorite handle material so needless to say, I'm pleased. the weight and length are right on for what I would consider a mid/large sized EDC knife, easy to handle but big enough to do some serious work if and when needed. Looks really cool, has a pretty unique color scheme that is aesthetically pleasing. After breaking the knife in for a couple of days, it opens smoothly and easily via the flippers. Another great thing is the Veff serrations; this is my first knife with them and they are noticeably better than most other styles of serrations.The only thing I don't really care for about this knife (and this is a subjective kind of thing) is that the flipper/hilt, while cool looking and fun to use, can get in the way if you are trying to choke up on the blade at all or use your thumb on the back of the blade. It is useful for a finger choil on the bottom, but on the top it just gets in the way.Other than that one minor - personal opinion - issue, this knife is very nice, and very affordable... I would recommend it to a friend.

This knife is extremely sharp. Nothing on it is shiny and it is very light. It folds so that you can carry it in your pocket. The blade is not long enough to be troubled by the concealed weapon law. I am a first time knife purchaser and had to have help with opening and closing. I had help from a Marine who was at the tip of the spear into Bagdad. The directions are basically worthless. When you contact the company they will use words you may not know. The sharp tip makes it a Tanto. That means it is a very sharp penetrating blade. The serrated part is obvious. The dull black metal piece is a belt clip. The small red button is a release. The two projections of the side are functional levers to open and close the blade. I have learned to open it with a single flip of the arm and hand and the release. Closing it is the hardest. When it is open, your must get you thumb nail into the handle and move a lever aside and them hold it while you push on the side projection. It will not snap shut on you thumb so you have plenty time to move it away. So far I have only cut a branch off with the serrated part. I carry it in my purse and if I get back to walking the river it will be in my pocket. I have defended myself verbally many times but now I am 69. It makes me stand a little taller and keep my head up. Buy this knife, carry it and learn how to use it. It would be great in any situation auch as camping. It looks like plastic but believe me it is not. The design is to not be flashy. It is worth every penny and I cannot recommend it enough. I am a woman but even a man who collects knives and guns could not figure it out. Don't be shy. Get help with opening and closing. I am in love with this knife.

Edit: Amazon has the right picture now.Edit 2: Amazon has the wrong picture up again for the tan version...but the picture of the black knife shows the right model.This is a great knife and was razor sharp out of the box. The knife deploys with ease. When deployed, the blade is rock solid and the titanium nitride coating and dual flipper hilt looks wicked. The flipper nub that opens the knife is big enough that it creates a bit of a finger choil for getting really far up on the blade for precision cutting work. Finally, the Veff serrations rock! Cardboard, leather, soft plastic, good rope, bad rope, it doesn't matter, these serrations slice through it like butter.The G10 handle has adequate grip, though I wish it had a little more aggressive knurling. At first I thought the AutoLAWKS feature would be a pain but it's really simple to operate and the knife is easy to close with one hand. I find myself looking for the AutoLAWKS on other knives when I go to close them.
