For years, Kit Carson's M16® designs have been our most popular series. And our Z version has built the largest user base of all. The M16®-12Z uses our very successful InterFrame construction, tough, textured glass-reinforced nylon scales over a 420J2 stainless steel liner InterFrame. We overbuild it for rigidity, using solid glass-reinforced nylon back spacers. And we assemble the handle with superior offset Torx® fasteners. The handle is exceptionally rigid and fills the hand perfectly.

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.
