Customer Reviews

slim and practical
John S. on Jan 23, 2020

Love this knife - so slim in pocket with a nice long blade. Doesn't flip as smoothly as some flippers, (my Civivi Shredder for example), but also doesn't fail to open. I'd love a deep carry pocket clip for this knife. I also really like it's larger brother the M16-04ks - great designs.

Love m16
Aaron S. on Feb 20, 2019

Had this knife for a year now and have gravitated towards it over all my other knives. Have bought two other m16s because of it. Great knife all around.

Slim EDC
Jeremy S. on Jul 28, 2018

I bought this for EDC use. It’s performed well, but it’s a bit on the heavy side for its size. The lock mechanism is smooth and easy to manipulate with one hand. The belt clip is a bit shorter than what I’m used to, but it arrived nice and tight. The flip feature on this knife makes it loads of fun to mess with.

I was expecting better action
Jason K. on Feb 19, 2022

I bought this knife to keep with me while backpacking in the swamp. I liked the idea that it would shed water and mud easily. My only complaint is the action is really stiff, most times the knife does not fully deploy unless I give a strong wrist flick with the opening action. Also, as a lefty, I really struggle with this frame lock. It’s become a two-handed open and close for me.

great except for the clip
aidan l. on Jun 24, 2019

I use this knife everyday and it works amazing. the only problem i have with it is that the clip gets easily caught and bent out. its a pain to bend back too. other than that it works mint.
