what kind of steel is the blade

Thank you for contacting Top Quality Knives. The blade steel is 8Cr13MoV. Again thank you for contacting Top Quality Knives and as an independent dealer on Amazon your business would be very much appreciated.

Printed on the box:. Product of China

Does crkt sell a version of this without the locking mechanism? seems a little unnecessary.

Unlike the m16z, the m-16ks does not have the extra locking mechanism. It just has a frame lock

Are you able to switch the clip to the left side?

Thank you for contacting Top Quality Knives. Yes the clip can be mounted on either side of the handle with a tip down carry only. Please see the full knife specifications below.
