CRKT Knife M16-13Z

[rockonmyfriend]

i have that same knife and its not a spring knife, its just super easy to open if fact its in my pocket now

[dudewtf740]

It looks like a Gerber knock off

[DavidGerber0394]

@dudewtf740 actually the Gerber it technically a knock off of this knife. But I think the Gerber is way better.

[dudewtf740]

@DavidGerber0394

lol

whoever came first did it right because the Gerber Evo is a pretty good knive

I can only image the original will be better

[rockonmyfriend]

@dudewtf740 i have one, its cold carbon steel and awesome

[brandoncormier4]

just got mine its great

and im in canada.. :S :P

[XxXxXGR3GXxXxX]

if u dont have sound then y even bother making a video

[dasgemuse]

i have the one with the wood liek design on the handle. M16-13Z

[ZeroAssault]

coolio, i got one like that but my blade doesnt have serrated teeth.

[snakeii0]

I noticed he removed the spring from the autolawk, why? It defeats the purpose of having the lawk.

This is a great knife, its my usual EDC, my favorite over the many SOG's, Gerbers, Spydercos, Bucks, etc that I have. The Twitch and Flash have spring assist, but I can open the M16 just as quick and easily. The Flash II is too bulky for EDC, but it is a great knife for tact gear or when low profile/concealment isn't a concern.

BTW, I carry a knife for purpose, not to impress people.

[jrock1078]

Actually the first generation of these knives only had the LAWKS system. it wasnt until recently that they started putting springs on them. The usual tell is that the button has a red marking in it similar to the safety of guns.

[snakeii0]

Ok, that makes sense.

[topsscience]

He removed the spring to make it easier to close with one hand, however that wasn't necessary because if you hold it down with your middle finder while moving the interal lock over with you thumb, you can easily close the blade and move your thumb away.

I have this knife and it is one of the best I have ever used.

[Whisper6911]

@snakeii0 the lawks feature is somewhat useless.

it only really functions to keep the user from accidentally engaging the liner lock during use.

thing is, its mounted on the opposite side of where the spring force wants the liner to move.

so it doesn't prevent failure as a result of abuse.

anyways check out the M21, its even better for EDC.

its the same knife but with a curved blade that has a big belly that is ideal for EDC tasks.

[Whisper6911]

oh yeah, the m21 has 8CR14MOV steel, which is analogous with AUS8.

[Altreac]

Thanks for the video.

This M16-13Z uses AUS 4 Steel. Pretty good stuff 55-57 on hardness scale.

From CRKTs site

"-Crude rip-off of patented LAWKS® mechanism. The counterfeit uses an illegal copy ...of...LAWKS ... . The samples actuating lever is badly bent. In contrast, genuine CRKT M16-14SF models come with our patented AutoLAWKS™ safety which is marked with a red dot and automatically converts the folder into a virtual fixed blade when opened and locked." - only reference to red dot.

[oobligah]

thats not a CRKT. its a counterfeit. notice how the AUTO LAWCKS system has no red dot on it, it is inferior, and it prolly closes with a thud, and not a "snap"

the pivot screw is prolly smooth instead of checkered. sorry D:

that knife goes for 45+ btw

so if u got it for less, ur not getting a true CRKT

[Roger1379]

Have you heard about sales and discounts before?

[oobligah]

crkt supplies that knife to stores for 30 dollars

[TANGOFIVE]

It's not a counterfeit and don't mouth off false information! The frst design had the Lawks design then they upgraded to the auto. This knife handles a lot better than the EDC because of the handle lenght.

[oobligah]

i didnt say it wasnt auto dumbass, CRKT specifically stats that if there is no red dot on the lawcks or auto lawcks system, they did not make it.

[TANGOFIVE]

You have to call people names because you're spewing false info and you got caught! Because of a red dot its a counterfeit!! You are more clueless than expected. Before saying dumb stuff you should inform yourself and own one!

[oobligah]

i do own one, i ordered it directly from CRKT and guess what, it has a red dot.

and go to CRKT's website and read the counterfeit section. i think that will set you straight

[bluetube01]

I own one too, and it doesn't have a red dot. I bought it directly from CRKT. So either you have a model made in a different year or you have a similar model that is different. And by the way, the counterfeit section says NOTHING of red dots. And using a red dot would not be hard for counterfeiters to copy. Wise ass.

[rimjabbathehut]

no, it's not spring assist, there in a stud that protrudes from the back of the handle that is actually a partial crossguard/hilt. sliding your index finger over it quickly will extend and lock the blade.

[Rhinoman45672]

is it spring assisted?

[bluetube01]

No, that would probably make it illegal. It can be opened just as quickly though.

[Rhinoman45672]

having a spring assist opening mechanism where the deployment is on the blade is legal, its only illegal if the blade is opened by a button or a switch

[bluetube01]

I didn't know that, thanks for the info.

[SxSDeath]

Even an actual switchblade isn't illegal, at the federal level. What's banned is selling automatics across state lines. Congress was still pretending the Constitution mattered to them, so they regulated autos via the interstate commerce clause.

So, it's perfectly fine to have an automatic assembled in your state and carry it there. Selling to someone in another state is verboten. Also, some states have their own laws banning them. A believe a few even ban spring assists.

[ZeroAssault]

There illegal in canada....which is uber gay.

[ZeroToleranceKnives]

@ZeroAssault

don't say uber dude

[WRAYDAY]

@ZeroAssault

Nope they are definitely not. I bought mine in edmonton a week ago

[JoshSquash23]

Nice. Whats the blade length?

[bluetube01]

about 3.5 cm

[mmserenity]

I own the m16-12 small tanto. Works great & got it without the auto lock. Use it often, sharpen once a month, & still pops hairs off my arm! Was also in the Army, Hooaa, 11-B!

[hathegkla]

I have that exact knife, had it for years. I sharpen it about once a month and use it several times every day. awesome knife and not too brittle. holds a decent edge over time but needs to be sharpened regularly if you use it as much as I do.

빙글빙글빙글빙글빙글

[melonboy1942]

Got one at Big 5 a couple of months ago for 32 bucks

[ihatecountryfuckers]

its alot better if u remove the clip like i did =[]

[25Remington06]

Whats so cool about that knife, your just a poor fuck face who finally got a knife for huis birthday and wants to show it off dumb fuck

[McLOVINmp5]

was about to buy that knife, but went with a gerber tactical

[dannykrueger666]

I have a m16 m13 its the military version it dosn't open that easy ase yours but ist a good knife

[flashdamingo]

The pivot probly just needs a little oil.

I bought a very cheap 2nd hand ,but good condition M16 13z ,just wouldnt flip open smoothly.

A couple of drops of teflon oil fixed it up to working like new.The stuff I had on had was intended for bycycle chains , but worked very well , havent had to reapply at all.

[dannykrueger666]

thnx for the tip gonna try it :D

[gic102]

just bought this exact model. it's going to be my EDC...plus I love spearpoints. next on the list is a Cold Steel Ti-lite zytel.

[macchxero]

I just bought it today! It's my first folder, so I guess it's a good start! U have other folders too?

[sixcarboncompound]

I have a CRKT, a Gerber, and a SOG. I love all of them.

[1InsideMan]

Bruner, Only real knife connoisseurs know that Crkt are users! Nice video.

[Scooterboy8]

that´s a really great knife, a few weeks ago i bought the same knife but only in the the desert camo version

[moonlighter6]

Buy SOG, the assisted opening is superior, the double locking is nice. The FLASH and TWITCH series knives impress friends and are reasonably priced with over and under 3 inch blade models. USA quality made, they haven't sold out to cheap Asian manufacturers YET!

[1InsideMan]

Moonlighter6, Remember this country was built on free enterprise. I own US an foreign blades and I have to tell you I bleed red and blue. Check out Crkt closer it is a US combined overseas effort. Inside Man

[moonlighter6]

Buy a SOG, you'll never go back to CRKT or Benchmade, the SOG FLASH II has a fast assisted opening with little or no effort, gravity or force open stinks.

[FinalFront]

Cool.

[WestabL1sheD]

i have a very nice mtech it is stileto shaped the locking mechanism is extremely solid it is in the extreme series

[anorexicpillow]

crkt sucks, and so does benchmade!

[ABCDEFR]

Because Mtech rules all eh? Grab a fucking brain, CRKT and Benchmade make some nice knives if you're willing to pay for quality.

[momotar0]

very deployable.

[theused914]

ok no kill of any thing only flashing

[gcgx]

nice knife, my fav is the 3200 pardue should get one

[Khaytor]

Great knife but I prefer the titanium version. I've owned CRKT's for years but perfer Benchmade. I've had CRKT liner locks fold and pop loose on me. The secondary lock helps though.
