Columbia River Knife and Tool

[BlueDuck]

Anyone own a knife made by these folks? I picked one of their knives today (M16-13Z) as a a trade. Anyone who owns one or the brand happy w/ the knife/tool? The one I got seems to be pretty well made; not in the same class as my bench made, but it feels like a good tool. Thanks for any feed back....off to search now.

I have fixed blade I bought a few years ago. The style is no longer made for them.
It's on my web gear and is called a Komodo I think. It is chisel ground so only one side needs sharpening. I like it and it has held up very well so far.

But, I dont use it like it is anything other than a knife.

I love mine! A fellow member here alerted me to a sale where a $120 folder was on sale at Big 5 for $20! I hustled over to the closest one and got the deal of a lifetime. I love the quality, and even if it's made in Taiwan, there are specs that are required. Hell, computer chip are made there. Go to Big 5 and check the prices on the trade first! :wink:

Just a small folder. Good steel, takes and keeps an edge.

I've carried the same knife you picked up since i was in 7th grade. I've carried it practicaly every day since. Im now a junior in college. Thats... 9 years... i've probably sharpened it 4 or 5 times... holds a good edge, and I use it daily.

Great knife... i'll be getting another one or two here for the future.

I've got half a dozen CRKT knives, including the one you mention above that I carry every day, and have never had a problem with any of them. Propably one of the best knives for the buck you can buy IMHO.

I have a few, they are nice production knives for the money.

Thanks for all the replies! I'll use this knife as my truck knife I guess.

The AAFES run PX's carry them in Afghanistan with Enduring Freedom logos,I have 5.Heck they come in Ti and AL frames too.Soldiers buy them by the hand fulls.The working one I have has held up to much abuse.At the price it would be hard to beat.
