CRKT knives are excellent, and the Carson flipper makes for one-hand operation. The M16 is a great knife, but I have to put in a plug for the M15 compact. At 2.2 ounces, it's the perfect shirt pocket knife. My main use for it is limestone creek fly fishing, where river bass love the cover of cypress overhangs. I've been doing this a long time, but still occasionally plant a fly in the cypress-branch velcro. Pull down the branch with one hand, flip the CRKT with the other and cut the branch. Easy to get my fly back and catch the next bass.

They make awesome knives, great if you aren't too keen on doing boot knives or using a sheath, pretty light too compared to some knives I've used

I have has 4 of these for many years, that is how good of a knife they are! Was willing to spend more than $200 on them collectively because they hold a razors edge that lasts forever, and are not built out of junk metal so they do not corrode at all! Well worth every penny if you are looking for a really good folder that will last and is very balanced.
