M16-10KZ description
Here is Kit Carson's M16® Every Day Carry (EDC) with our glass filled nylon InterFrame build. 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 2CR13 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®-10KZ features a dual hollow grind Tanto-style blade with Combined Razor-Sharp and Triple-Point Serrated edges similar to our "Big Dog" M16 models. The result is maximum blade strength and ability to saw through cord, webbing, nets or vegetation quickly. It has a black EDP blade, black frame and hardware for a non-flective tactical look.

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

As a paramedic I carry a larger M16 model on duty. The 10KZ is a perfect size and weight for off duty. I carry it everywhere.

So far this knife is great. I like the flipper and autlawks. I've had a pocket knife in my pocket for fifty years. This is one of the best.

I had this knife twice I lost skiing, after that I immediately went and bought another. This is my favorite knife that own, because it opens like a switchblade it's fast opening locks up solid and is perfect for everyday carry

We go tent camping is Souithwest Colorado every summer and as we were setting up camp thsis year my wife found a dirt encrusted pocket knife near the fire pit. After several rounds of cleaning we dicovered that it was an M16-10KZ. I was not familiar with your line of knifes until this time , but I can tell you I am sold on them now. This knife , after being buried for who knows how long, has only a couple of small rust pits on the main blade that will eventually sharpen out, and is missing the belt clip( which I would like to replace if they are available seperately) Firts rate knifes that do everything they are advertised to do , and look damn good doing it. I feel sorry for whoever lost it, but I am certain they replaced with the same knife. Douglas

This knife for everyday carry is what I would call perfection. At least it is for me. Size , fit and feel is on the mark. I have put it through its paces and then some. I have four sons and I also bought one for each of them. If they take care of it even with hard use. I believe it could be a knife to hand down to the next generation.

the knife itself is great. durable and amazing quality. worth every penny. the only big con to the knife is the 1 point clip on the side. (the thing that holds it to the lip of your pocket or wherever you want to keep it) the 3 screws that hold the clip on and are not very secure at all. they fall out, loosen up, and just disappear after about a month of regular use. then the whole clip just falls off. you can tighten it up, but they will just get lose again. and the screws they use require a special tool just to tighten. ***CRKT RESPONSE really a great knife, just make sure you keep track of the screw condition, or you could lose that knife without ever knowing. - Please contact C.Service and we can resolve for you or apply Loc Tite to the screw. Thank you. CRKT
