M16-10Z 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 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 AUS 8CR15MoV high-carbon stainless steel with a bead-blast finish, which gives an ideal combination of toughness and edge-holding ability in a work knife, and also allows easy field-sharpening.

The M16®-10Z 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.

Of course, if 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

Great knife, I've had my model M-16 for several years. Bought a newer model and sent it to my son in the Navy. He's very pleased with its functionality and durability, hes and avid rock climber and outdoorsman as well. Keep up the great products. John Dubbelde

The only reply is awesome. Purchased for my son for Christmas and he loves it. Well made...

This knife truly is awesome. It holds an edge like no other, and as other people have said, it is actually sharp enough to shave with, out of the box. My only qualm with this knife is mine seemed to have some small rust spots on it when I received it. These spots have become a bit of a nuisance as far as asthetics go, but the functionality is beyond good.

I was sold on CRKT knives with the very first purchase. Unsurpassed quality for a great price making it the best value I have come accross. Many CRKT knives added to my collection This recent purchase of the M16-10Z Tanto was due to it's perfect combination of light weight and small size in the pocket will still supplying a sufficient size blade. This has became my favorite knife to carry day to day.

This is a great knife It's my first CRKT and will definitely not be my last. Very solid feel when open and lightweight enough that it doesn't weigh down my pocket all day. The only reason I am giving 4/5 stars is 2 reasons: Edge is not as sharp as I had expected and the knife as a whole is small for my hand. Big guys should go with the bigger version of this knife, I know I am going to order the bigger version ASAP

Great knife, high quality and great design. This is my first CRKT and is now a favorite. Im a collector and have a lot of knives including Buck,Kershaw, and Gerber so I should know a good knife when I see one.

This knife is a very good knife, I have used this on a mission, and it hasn't failed me yet. It doesn't hold an edge very well, but some field sharpening fixes that, if you are looking for relatively cheap knife in price, this is the knife for you.

This is a great high quality knife. It's my second one because someone stole my first one. When I showed this knife to some of my family they went out and got another "flipper" type knife of another brand which was junk in my opinion compared to the CRKT. It was also very sharp out of the box. I didn't think the serrations were going to be much good for the size of the knife but I was able to saw through part of a 2x4 As for the people saying the bar sticks - I haven't had a problem with that. It was a little tougher to release at first but I think that's just because the lube had kind of settled and once I flipped it open and closed it a few times it was smooth as butter. Matt
