This F-16 model has a black aluminum handle with a grippy inlay and a satin finished dagger blade.
The AKC F-16 is a snappy, double-action OTF automatic knife inspired by the impressive F-16 jet of the same name. It has a side loaded thumb-slide that opens and closes the blade with smooth precision. The handle is made from aluminum with a stainless steel pocket clip for tip-down carry.

I have a large knife collection and this is the worst one that I've ever bought. The only knife that I will ever return. It's absolutely not worth $60. It fails to deploy properly. The blade is flimsy and the build quality is astonishingly inferior to others.

It’s pretty good, sharp enough, has a good deal of force when extending the blade. The only thing that caught me off guard, as a first-time OTF owner is you have to reset the spring after extending the blade through most things.
Great knife

For the price it's great. Not a top-end knife don't expect that. Fires hard n fast. Fired about 50 times no issue snappy both ways.
Defective knife

I recieved a defective knife. Would fail to open 50 percent of the time. I contacted customer service for a return and they said they would send packaging to return my knife. 12 days later nothing from them... Been ordering from this company for years. Very disappointed.

When trying to decide how to say goodbye to my Brothers in Arms, I turned to GRINDWORX and this very knife. The knife operation is smooth with no command to execution lag you find in other knives of this size and style. Although small enough to fit in a shirt pocket, it performs like a much bigger brother on the site. and the knife useful as a knife, doing what it was designed to do. For me I wanted functional (they can use it during upcoming missions and it will give them "quite an edge" (sorry - I just had to say it that way.) The only way to say more about it is for me to say I am going to buy more. You should too.
Awesome get one now

These are new, get one now for 49.99 and free shipping. Arrived of time razor sharp, solid opening and closing, lightweight, well made, made in Italy. This is one of the best knives I've got once more. No complaints here, I'm satisfied with my purchase once again, and will buy from grindworx again.
Great Purchase !

This Italian made OTF is well worth the price. The dagger style blade is razor sharp and the action is very smooth. The guard on the opposite side of the action is the perfect resting place for the forefinger. And once engaged the action itself becomes the thumb guard. The gritty inlay makes it feel like a natural extension of my hand.
