We have produced Kit Carson's popular M16® line in many variations over the past decade. Our glass filled nylon version has built the largest user base of all. These knives are built for function, not fad, and they are exceptional values.
Our new M16 ZLEK line uses our very successful InterFrame construction, with tough, textured glass filled nylon scales over a 420J2 stainless steel liner InterFrame and solid glass filled nylon back spacers. We assemble the handle with superior offset Torx® fasteners.
For professional use, we've added a seat belt cutter to the Carson Flipper, and a tungsten carbide window breaker at the butt. Automobile side windows shatter with one quick whack from the butt of the knife.
All components receive a tough tactical black coating. The Flipper can be pressed for fast one-hand opening, and creates a blade guard when open. We use our premium AUS 8 high-carbon stainless steel for the blades, which have Combined Razor-Sharp and Triple-Point™ Serrated edges to easily cut rope, cord, canvas, and vegetation.
All three models are fitted with our exclusive patented* AutoLAWKS™ safety, which automatically makes them into virtual fixed blades when the blade is opened and locked.
M16®-14ZLEK. The "Big Dog" M16 is a hefty 6.2-ounce knife with a 3.75"- long Tanto blade that is able to tackle virtually any emergancy task. This larger model features a four-position clip, allowing carry on belts or webbing— tip up, tip down, left or right. Please note: These knives are not designed for tip-up inpocket carry.
Full professional features. Non-reflective black finish. Exceptional affordability. Kit Carson rides again.

I have tested and carried belt cutters and such on abandoned cars and the street. I have found some do not stand up to the advertised task. I picked up my first M16-10z a year or so to carry off duty and really liked it. Since I had other tools in my kit when in uniform it wasnt a big deal that this little knife didnt have all the features. Since I retired I only carry one knife. The M16-14ZLEK is very well made, no play in the blade and as in the little brother, is smooth and easily opened one handed. It uses AUS 8 Steel and had a great edge on thick tanto blade. It is versatile and I like the bigger blade. I havent had the chance to try it on glass or seatbelts but the carbide tip is sharp and has the correct geometry. The seatbelt cutter slices paper.No cons but a little bigger than exp

Ive been waiting for this one to be released all last year, I just received it in my mail box today Great CRKT quality, multi-positions for the belt clip is great the seat belt cutter makes a nice hilt, and an easy flipper. the tungsten butt will be there in an emergency great piece of mind. I will replace my M16-14T as my edc. The auto-lawks is a great feature makes a solid knife. The big frame fits my huge hands great It all ways nice to have product that fit. This will be my gift to every one this year, even the ladies but they'll get the smaller versions. Great job CRKT

It's now February. Where is it already?? ***CRKT RESPONSE - The M16-14ZLEK has been released into the marketplace (since end of January). You can find one at a dealer or request at your local knife store. AG Russell is a great place to start. The demand has been exceptionally high, so they are still a little hard to find and CRKT.com does not currently have any in stock. Thanks, CRKT
