Great knife - CRKT M16-14 3.99in Folding Knife

I've had this knife for at least 12 years now. Amazed I didn't lose it during one of three deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan. It is solid when opened, blade locks in place. Blade is easy to open and almost as fast as a spring assist. The knife is stout and heavy, very utilitarian, maybe too stout for some. It's not intended as a dainty fillet knife but I have used it to gut out a deer when I couldn't locate one of my other knives. It's been used to cut all manner of materials from rope to leather, I even used it to open a few cans. It's heavy enough to be used for hammering in a pinch. The back of the blade is thick enough that I've used it to cut firewood by pounding the spine of the blade to help chop. I think the only reason this one hasn't been lost is because I'm always using it. May be a little big for EDC for some people. I've gotten my money's worth out of this knife and then some.
