Yes, I am a fan as well! I own a Copy of the A.G. Russell STING 1A Boot Knife, an exact copy, except the sheath, I liked the Waterbuffalo sheath on the Origional better, but the knife, the steel, the ballence, all that I had missed in my old sting 1A but at a price I could affoard! It not resides aside my Foebus Holster with my BHP Clone on my day to day carry belt!
You might try some blue loctite or some clear nail polish on those screws.
I like CRKT just fine. They are IMHO a no frills knife that performs as advertised everytime you need it at an affordable price. Can't ask for much more than that.
CRKT makes a good knife; I carried a KISS for a while and liked it. I collect folders, and most of mine are Case knives. My all-time favorite, the perfect knife for me, is a Case Mini Trapper with a Wharncliff blade instead of the spey. Now that the French are our friends again, I guess it's okay to say I have a 10-cm Laguiole that I like, too.
The girlfriend carries an M-16 when we are out camping or trail riding, or working on the farm.
She really likes it.
I like something a little smaller/lighter or something like a brush hook. I don't use many mid size folders, but I do like the way the M-16 and a couple others we've had from CRKT are made and function.
Top quality knife without the stupid huge price...
The M16s are bad for Taiwanese stuff. I've had a titanium handled M16 for years and it has held up well, but the blade is a little too hard to take an edge. It didn't come very sharp and I can seem to get it to sharpen at all. It also has a knurled part on the blade pivot that chews up the back of my hand any time I reach into my pocket for anything.
I have a Benchmade Griptilian tanto that I'm much happier with.
Crkt make a very good & affordable range of knives. I had a KISS that i used as a neck knife for years till I lost it.I bought an M60 fixed blade & it's tough as hell, comes with drop leg extenders as well.A pretty mean knife imho.
I have a KISS "in the Dark"(black Finish). I love the design, but occasionally it opens on its own and sticks me in the thigh or hand. Especially when I play pocket pull!!(just kiddin). Definately not a good knife for people who are clutzy or poor dexterity. The "In the dark" show wear alot faster too!!
I have an M16-13, aluminum handle, spear point, half-serrated. I've carried this daily for 7-8 years and it's the best folder I've ever had. It's faster and better than a switchblade because I can open and close it with one hand. Plus it's legal to carry here where a switchblade isn't.
I seen the Leopold rifle scope 100th anniversary set Monday. Nice fixed blade with the logo etched on it with leather sheath. Set retails for $400 but the knife can be bought separate for $49 off Amazon. Not sure about long term collect ability of this CRKT? Bob
i really like my M16-13z. it's affordable, and convenient to have around. i got it for christmas when i was 15, and have carried it almost everyday since, except at school.
