I carried a Strider SMF as my edc for years, until I went on a TDY and forgot to pack it in my checked baggage. Went to clothing sales at my destination and bought a CRKT M16-14T (after carrying a SMF for so long, anything smaller felt too puny).

The CRKT is still in my pocket now, nearly two years later. The SMF is in a drawer.

The BEST folder I ever had was a large CRKT 'Navajo' with a plain-edged blade made from ATS34. When I left poice work, I passed it on to a buddy. I now carry Kershaws or Benchmades.

GOt an M-16 model I love. It takes an edge well and I like being able to adjust the tensioin on the blade. Can hit the thumb stud and flick my wrist and its open. Handy at times in my line of work or when you are jsut working on something and dont have 2 hands to open a knife. I thought Id lost it the other day and was already looking to by another one just like it. They are definately good knives for the money.

1ITP,

For the love of God, please ditch the punisher grips. That is too nice a gun and doesn't need the "faux hardcore" look of the dreaded punisher.

The thing that pisses me off about a lot of CRKT knives, is the blade edge.
I much prefer the normal blade edge, and they are much easier to sharpen.

I have had to hone the back of the blade to get the CRKT's really sharp.[/QUOTE]
you got that right !!! so i just put them on the shelf and carry my spydercos ...

A significant part of the Benchmade line is made in Taiwan. Most of the Red Box, economy blades I believe.
