Home Forums Gear Knives and Blades Any love for CRKT knives?

I picked up one of their neck knives and I have owned their m16 model for awhile and they both seem like decent knives. What are your opinions

they make serviceable EDC knives. I am looking at an older M16 right now. It is going back to CRKT for a 'fluff and buff'. They will clean it, replace a bad clip and a missing screw.
When I get it back, it will give me another 5 or 6 years of faithful service.
They stand behind their product, are easy to deal with, produce and sell well made knives, at a decent price point.

I like some of their patterns. The Russ Kommer "2-shot" knife/sheath combo is kinda cool in orange G-10/Sandvik steel. Some of their chinkwanese knives are over-priced IMO....

Pretty good knife for the money wish they were us made though

I agree, great answer.

Been carrying a Lake 111 nearly 2 years now, really like it. I don't do much rough work with it, but it does fine on the lighter stuff.

The best part of CRKT is that they produce a good quality product at approximately 10-20% of the cost of the designer's original work. With today's economy, this allows those who would not otherwise be able to put their hands on certain designs do so without breaking the bank. Are they the best on the market? No. If they would step up the quality of their steel from AUS 8 to say 154 CM, CPM 154 CM, or even ATS 34 at comarative prices as now, I think they'd be hitting home runs.

Anyone know 2360N? The CRKT Stiff KISS I just bought has this stamped on it. Needed a edc after flying to CA. Was on sale at Big 5 for 16.00 bucks. Hoping it will stay sharp enough for the duration of my stay.

They're really good cheap knives that will take abuse well....and they're sold at lowes hardware now.
