I also have a small CRKT fixed blade knife. They are both great knives. Recently, I decided I'd like another CRKT folder. The M16-01S is another win for CRKT. Well made and study, yet small enough not to dominate your pocket. The minimal handle makes it light weight and discreet when it's in your pocket. It came factory sharp out of the box, which is fine. But I honed it to a finer edge. Now, it's really sharp and seems to hold the edge well. I really like the combination of compact, with a full three inch blade. The look of it is nice too. Tactical, but not "tacti-cool", you know. The only issues I have with the knife are the liner lock and the thumb stud. The knife is made so that it doesn't snag in your pocket, which is great, but that makes the thumb stud difficult to articulate. The tab on the back makes up for it, but I'm so used to opening a knife with my thumb, that it seems unnatural. The liner lock works well, but again, it tucked way in as to make it difficult to access easily. This is not to say, however, that I'm not happy with the knife. All in all it's really nice. I expect, as it wears in, it will become easier. Plus, I'll get used to opening the blade with my index, instead of my thumb over time. As with all knives, adjust the pivot screw to make blade deployment easier. Mine came pretty snug, and I had to back it off a bit to make it work smoothly.

I bought the more 'aggressive' version with the tanto point/serrated blade to wear with jeans/casual clothes (M16-10KZ). Both knives could be carried in either situation as they are extremely lightweight and thin. This knife is slightly thinner than the M16-10KZ, but you could wear either in suit/dress slacks with no issue. Both fit/clip on the inside coin pocket of dress slacks to completely conceal them while leaving them accessible. I choose to carry the slimmer version with dress clothes just as a matter of personal preference. Also, if I had to use it at work to open a box, etc., it wouldn't seem so out of place. I am not a knife expert, so will leave it to others to comment on the technical aspects. From an everyday carry standpoint, I don't even notice I am wearing it. The blade length is sufficient for 'urban' self defense situations and would appear to be strong enough for that application if needed. The blade was extremely sharp right out of the box. The flipper works great and is not too tight nor too loose. Some have expressed concerns about the "sharpness" of the flipper, but the knife I received does not feel sharp at all. The thumb stud could be a little taller, as it is more difficult to open if you rely on that alone. If that is your preferred method, you may want to look around. However, with the flipper being so accessible, not sure why you would even need the thumb stud. The flipper serves as a hand guard when the knife is open and is one of the features I really like on this knife. This knife does NOT have a safety button to keep it locked open. With that being said, when it is open, I don't see any reason why it wouldn't stay that way. With a little practice, you could become proficient at closing with one hand if you wanted to do so. For $20+/-, I can't imagine finding a better quality knife that is so reasonbly priced! ## Frequently Bought Together - CRKT M16-01S EDC Folding Pocket Knife: Everyday Carry, Satin Blade, Frame Lock, Stainless Steel Handle, Reversible Pocket Clip - OLIGHT I3T 2 EOS Pocket EDC Flashlight, 200 Lumens Compact Bright Handheld Flash Lights, Dual-Output Tail Switch with AAA Battery and Two-Way Pocket Clip for Camping and Hiking (OD Green) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/10016377-m16-01s-folding-knife-with-frame-lock-stainless-steel-plain](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/10016377-m16-01s-folding-knife-with-frame-lock-stainless-steel-plain) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
