M16-10KZ description
Here is Kit Carson's M16® Every Day Carry (EDC) with our Zytel® 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 Zytel EDC the best value in the work and sport knife world.

That starts with textured Zytel® scales and a dual 2CR13 stainless steel liner InterFrame. Assembled with Zytel back spacers and Torx® fasteners, the result is amazingly rigid. Zytel is a fiberglass-filled nylon that offers excellent toughness and resistance to solvents. Teflon® bearings 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 Teflon®-plated 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

The BEST knife out. I am on my 3rd one, not the knifes fault Lost one in the Carriben and one in South Africa both times under water... As close to industractable as they come. Some of these reviews complain about the lock but I like it and it's easy for me with one hand. Great hammer effect in a fist. Super sharp too.

Very durable and conveniently sized. I plan on using this knife for work for some time to come. The lock system is somewhat annoying at times but it's just something that needs time to get used to.

I was given this knife as a gift by a professional soldier friend of mine who died yesterday in a car accident. In a very short time I learned how to close it with one hand and to open it without looking at it, with a slight flick of my pointer finger. It fits my hand almost perfectly, except that my hand is a little too large to leave the hammer-like butt-end of the knife exposed completely, in the event you need to "hammer-fist" your way out of a situation, skin may be pinched. It's an extremely easy knife to use, can handle heavy sideways pressure on the blade, holds an incredible edge, and can penetrate 1/8th inch steel... I'll show the video. You don't have to worry about it closing on your hand. I'll buy some of these as Christmas gifts this year. Great going, guys. Excellent kni

I don't care for the auto lawks safety. I don't like having to use two hands to close the blade. I had the M16 before that, that didn't have the new lock on it.

This knife has been my work horse for two years now. i have used it for everything from cutting open bags and boxes to prying up large floor staples. Its an exceptional knife and hold an edge like no other knife in the price range. I love the quick inertia opening and the super durable tanto point. Over all its my favorite pocket knife in my collection.

Nice and portable, a sharp edge and easy to open and close with just one hand. Careful with the clip as it does tend to knock into things when walking by corners and such. Overall a good knife for everyday use.

Exceptionally nice pocket knife. Folded knife is a little bit wider than your palm. Very lite and comfortable in your hand. Quick opening with a flick of your finger. Out of the box, shaving sharp. I love it and recommend it for everyday carry. Charles W.

Smooth as butter, with the 1/2 guard/flicker it comes out as fast and smooth as any assisted or side opening auto. It's strong, light, perfect for a gift or someone who isn't into the martial art of knife fighting or someone who needs a good tool knife, which is where the tanto tip comes in handy. Again, a beautiful M16/14 or M21 CRKT knife. I would prefer the dual guard version (yes I know you can get them, but they only had the desert finish) and the tumb studs on all the newer M series are too cloe and too shallow to be even 1/2 as effective or fast as the guard/finger-flicker is to use so i would say to RD just remove the thumb studs on future models as long as you keep the rear finger flicker, they're totally useless. Also, Please CRKT, go back to the regular LAWKS system.. 4/

I have had two of these in the past, and recently purchased a third. Very pocket-able knife. I really couldn't be happier with a folding knife of this size, especially when materials are taken into account. All in all, excellent knife. Replacements aren't too hard to come by, in a worst case scenario.
