Dexter,

Excellent review. Two questions?

1- When will the smaller ones come out wtih
the flippers?

2- Will the zytel handles have holes in them/

thanks

Clyde,
The Zytel versions (03/13 & 02/12) will have the flippers on them. They utilize 2 stainless steel liners and have the same hole pattern as the Aluminum versions. These are due out sometime in late August/early September. $49.95 retail.

The 04/14 will not be coming out in Zytel.

As usual Dexter, your reviews flow like good wine....good job, enjoyed the review.

It also makes me feel like I'm learning something here since I felt the same way about this knife--and I have the same high confidence that you do especially regarding the liner. I have the 03 & 04 and I am completely convinced that these knives have more bang for their buck than any other that I own in that price range including some more expensive productions. I find myself carrying the M16-04 almost daily now!

One more thing, I would love to see the larger version in a drop point but I can work with this tanto style.

Greg - thanks for the compliment

I believe CRKT will go after the double ground spearpoint when sales for the tanto version drop off considerably. Believe me, I've been dropping hints to the guys at CRKT and no doubt Kit has heard an earfull from me on this! It will happen, but "when" is the question.

As always, Dexter, an excellently written review- thank you!

For anyone interested, there is an M-16 on bladeauction.com right now. 24 of them on one auction at a good price-spearpoint single ground.

Disclaimer: This is not an ad!

I am trying to get one, so everyone don't bid!
