A classic story with three new chapters.

When CRKT® decided to reimagine the late Kit Carson’s popular M16® design, it was either go big or go home. And so the M16®-03DB was born. Combining three revolutionary innovations, Deadbolt®, Assisted Opening, and IKBS™ ball bearing pivot system, this redesign doesn’t hold back in performance or functionality. Just like the beloved classic, this contemporary variation gets the job done right—only now, it excels in three more ways.
  • Strong And Simple Deadbolt® lock provides incredible strength and it's easy to use
  • Assisted Opening Flipper deploys the blade fast
  • Smooth Opening IKBS™ ball bearing pivot deploys the blade smooth
  • Superior Performance D2 blade steel for excellent edge retention
  • Strong and Lightweight Aluminum handle combines strength with minimal weight
  • Low Profile Pocket clip provides secure carry
