CRKT M16-14 Titanium Knife

This is a BEAST

By Ranked #342 - Kayak Accessories February 11, 2009

Seriously. This knife is basically the biggest thing you can legally carry. It makes my SOG Twitch XL look like a freakin' toothpick. If you want an inconspicuous blade, find something else. If you're looking for a big dog, this is your ticket.

Otherwise, it is great. Very solid construction, but made in Taiwan... Balance point is just behind the hilt. Opens FAST with a satisfyingly audible metallic snap and closes very easily with one hand. Does NOT lock shut, but this is my 3rd M16 and I've never had one open in my pocket. Good hard steel holds an edge nicely. Can be fully disassembled for cleaning (or to disable autolawks if you wish) in a matter of minutes w/ torx wrenches. It's titanium, so it is quite light for its size, but don't fool yourself into thinking this sucker is "light." You've still got a ~ 4" hardened steel blade that is over 1/8th of an inch thick. CRKT says it weighs 5.7 oz, and it feels pretty solid.
