M16-01KZ description
Here is Kit Carson's M16® Every Day Carry (EDC) with our glass filled nylon InterFrame build in black-on-black tactical dress. Our knife users told us, "We want an affordable work knife that we can give hard use without feeling guilty, and one that won't break us up if we leave it on a job site or drop it in the river."

We heard you. So we set about to make the Z EDC the best value in the work and sport knife world.

That starts with textured glass filled nylon scales and a dual stainless steel liner InterFrame. Assembled with glass filled nylon back spacers and Torx® fasteners, the result is amazingly rigid. Glass filled nylon offers excellent toughness and resistance to solvents. Lubrous washers at the blade pivot and an adjustable pivot screw allow for perfect blade action.

The blade is 8CR15MoV high-carbon stainless steel which gives an ideal combination of toughness and edge-holding ability in a work knife, and also allows easy field-sharpening.

The M16®-01KZ uses our popular spear point slim profile blade with a Razor-Sharp edge. It is ideal for fine cutting and carving tasks. It has a black EDP blade, black frame and hardware.

Of course, it features the Carson Flipper, which speeds opening of the blade and acts as a blade guard when the blade is open.

The real breakthrough was our ability to engineer our patented* AutoLAWKS knife safety into all models, which automatically actuates when the blades are open, making these folders into virtual fixed blades when locked.

Add to these features the standard removable stainless steel clothing/gear clip plus the CRKT limited lifetime warranty, and you have one of the truly great knife values of our time.

*U.S. Patent Nos. 5,596,808 and 7,437,822

5 stars - Thank you, CRKT, for a knife that fits exactly what I need It's all black, light, solid, sharp, pretty good steel, spear-type point, small in pocket, small clip that doesn't advertise. The safety feature is a little annoying to close, but that's actually a good thing. A smart user would much rather have this annoyance if it improved safety even just a little.

I find that after every day carry for about a year, the blade is coming loose. I can tighten the screw, but am afraid it will come loose again. How should I proceed to fix this? Tim - We would recommend just dropping a little dab of Loc Tite onto the screw and that should completely resolve the issue. Please give our customer service a call if you have any problems or anything, happy to help. CRKT

I purchased this knife because I needed a capable knife to carry daily, and this seemed to be the one. When I received the knife I was surprised to find that it was a bit smaller then I had anticipated. However, it is still a good size and it is under the legal length for carrying. I own a lot of knives and this one is by far the best one that I own. I would definitely buy this one again. Miles

I lost one of these knives and missed it so much that I just ordered a new one.

This is a great knife. No problems whatsoever. It is a little smaller than I expected, but that is no fault of its own. Would definitely buy again.

I gave the knife as a gift. He has had this knife before but there were new features that he really liked. The black EDP blade was a big hit with the black frame. He loved the Carson Flipper making it easier to open. He has problems in the past with the assisted opening feature so prefers the flipper. What he loved most was the AutoLAWKS. He explained to me that this locked the blade open. Overall all he loved the knife and would purchase the same one again.

I always order two of everything. One for me, one for my grandson. One of the two was fine. The liner lock in the second one is too tight. It is hard to release. Might send it back. I like the finish and the weight. I am not sure that I agree that it is a true spear point. Has a little drop point look to it. The aus-8 is fine. I think the knife is actually a little over priced compared to others I own. I like the knife ok but would not pay $50.00 for another one. Autolawks is ok but I think it gets in the way sometimes. I think the knife would be stronger if the handle was just a little wider. I have owned other CRKT products. I have no searing complaints.I am glad everybody liked it but 100% positive comment is not a review, it is cheerleading. Nothing is perfect. Archie Cade

This is a great knife. It is the second one I owned. My first one had a green handle and a serrated section on the blade and was an older model that did not lock automatically. I like the auto lock feature. If you ever had to use this knife on the fly you could without taking the time to "lock" the blade. Great piece great price.

The smaller size made me question this blade at first, but daily use shows the actual top quality of this piece. Couldn't ask more for the price, oh keep up the good work
