Product Description
The CRKT M16-03BALI brings the legacy of Kit Carson’s iconic M16 design into a purpose-built balisong platform. Designed as a hard-use cutting tool rather than a novelty, this USA-made knife delivers strength, balance, and real-world performance in a lightweight package.
Built in Colorado by Live Sharp Industries, the M16-02BALI features a 3.35" MagnaCut tanto blade, offering exceptional edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance well beyond traditional steels. The stonewash finish provides a clean, functional look suited for everyday carry.
The black aluminum handles keep the knife lightweight while maintaining durability and control. Subtle contouring improves grip without adding bulk, and the IKBS™ ball-bearing pivot system ensures smooth, consistent action.
A locking latch system secures the knife during carry, while the removable pocket clip keeps it accessible when needed. Designed for users who demand performance, this is a working balisong built to be carried and used.
