Homage: Paid. The M16® is the most popular series that CRKT® has ever seen. We’re humbled to do right by the revered custom knife designer Kit Carson with this new frame-lock iteration of his legendary tactically-inspired everyday carry folding knife. This one is more than just a fresh take on a classic. It’s a true tribute to one of the greats.
  • Superior Performance:  12C27 blade steel for excellent edge retention
  • Fast Opening:  The flipper deploys the blade fast
  • Brute Strength:  Frame lock utilizes a thick lock bar to secure the blade
  • Ultimate Durability:  Stainless steel handle withstands hard use
