Got a CRKT M16-13 Special Forces today.:)

Very pleased with the fit and finish. The blade has a titanium nitride coating, handles are 6061 Aluminum, and the liner is stainless steel with a teflon coating.
Even so, I put a little FP-10 on the blade and liner to guarantee against corrosion and make me feel good.

It comes with a spare clip with screws and torx driver. Thinking about whether to put the spare clip on also to make it ambidextrous carry. Anyone have any thoughts on having a clip on both sides?

Well as long as it doesn't impede carrying, and isn't uncomfortable in your hand, what could be bad?

M16-13 is the Spearhead combo edge, correct? How much did you get it for and where?

winstonhead:
Normally the M16-13 has a spear point but the "SF" model has a tanto combo blade. The best price I found on the net was $63 here (http://www.southsummit.com/CRKT%20M16%20Special%20Forces.htm) . I got mine for a little less ($53) locally at the military clothing sales store.

I can't see a problem with two clips but then I've never had that setup before. Possibly something else catching on the inside clip and me pulling knife and contents out of pocket? :D

Something might catch, you'll have to adapt where you carry it. I clip my folder to my back pocket, right next to my wallet. My wallet doesn't have any loose peices that might catch on the knife, and vise versa. Works for me, you might think of something better.

Would not do to have to pull out your car keys and have the ring catch on the extra clip and send the folder flying. Same with the paracord of OC or something. If you want to have two clips, you'll have to adapt a location.
