I'm looking to replace it, and - lo and behold, CRKT has got all these sweet tactical folders for decent prices. I'm not gonna spend $200, or even $100 on a tactical folder, thank you very much.

I've been carrying a CRKT M16-03 non-serrated for about a year. It replaced a Meyer Rascal that I lost. It is twice the size as the Rascal which was a terrific, low weight, cheap knife. At first the size of the CRKT seemed a bit cumbersome, but now I don't even notice it. It is however too big for pocket carry in dress pants as it tells quite noticeably.
It has a couple quirks:1) there is a knurled screw head that keeps tension on the blade. Shortly after I got it, this screw backed out and the knife partly disassembled in my pocket. I put it back together & it has not happened again. 2) the liner lock spring on mine has begun to show corrosion. Nothing major, but it is there so I need to get in their w/ Kroil and a small bristle brush. 3) I took a quick look at the Kershaw. The CRKT knives have angular & blocky handles and the Kershaw Onion looks fairly smooth. The CRKT was different from anything I'd carried prior & did take me a couple week to get used to. Now it is second nature.
Most importanly, I'd buy another one. There is a smaller version (about 3/4 scale) of the M16. I looked at both but decided on the larger version as it fit my hand better.
