“Disappointed in single liner”

“I wasn't familiar enough with CRKT M16 models to know that some lack the inter-frame build (one fixed liner, one locking). This knife had only one liner (the locking one), with the rigidity of the handle resulting only from the Zytel scales and spacers. It just didn't give an impression of quality, or at least not the quality I'd expect at the relatively high price. The M16 and M21 aluminum builds are far more rigid, and I feel they are the only application where a single spacer is warranted instead of an inter-frame.”
