Columbia River Knife & Tool gets a big........... ..............a couple of years ago I bought a CRKT M16-03Z which I carried and used daily. About two months ago I fliped the bade open and accidently smacked the back of the blade near the tip against a pine picnic table. The liner lock FAILED and I keep my knife shaving sharp I almost lost a finger.  I sent CRKT an email and they told me to send the kinfe into them and they would look at it under their lifetime waranty. I got a package in the mail today, they send me a NEW M16-03Z  Refreshing I tell you

I think " incredibile " might be a little too strong , but still a decent knife . I broke the tip on mine . That is the one thing they will not warranty and I understand why . It snapped WAY too easily though . |
how did it fail, did it break off or something? |
| I carry a Strider personally, but whenever I buy a knife as a gift for a friend, I buy them a CRKT M16 or M21. If someone asks me for a good knife that won't break the bank, I recommend CRKT. The only things I don't like about them are the tip-down carry and the fact that they aren't made in the USA. Other than that, they are great knives. |
The CRKT knives (at least the m16 series) have a known defect in the liner lock. I had one start failing several years ago. The replacement knife I received had a secondary lock that would lock the liner lock and keep it from failing. Not exactly my ideal, but it works. I ended up giving the new replacement to my brother, who has carried it daily since then without incident. I ended up with a Benchmade striker, which I recently lost
