CRKT is releasing a line of M16 everyday carry knives based off of the original Kit Carson design. They’re a fitting tribute to Carson who passed away in the fall of 2014.
These tactically inspired knives are ready to conquer your civilian tasks. Featuring AUS 8 stainless steel blades available in tanto and spear point styles, they hold an edge well and are easier to sharpen in the field than tool steel. When you’re ready to call them into duty, a Carson Flipper quickly deploys the blade. Meanwhile a LAWKS manual safety feature sets a pin against the locking liner to hold the liner in place. You’re good to go through anything with any of these M16 Classic knives.
Carson was a winner of countless awards and was a staple of CRKT since the company's very beginning. These classic designs live on in tribute to his legacy and contribution to the knife community and the industry as a whole.
If you want a knife that is as timeless as the man who designed it, secure your very own M16 Classic.
