Product Description
The popular M16 design by the late Kit Carson makes a comeback with the stainless steel series. Packing even more power and functionality than before, this version offers a rugged all-metal construction that serves as a dependable workhorse for tactical and everyday carry. It remains a staple in the industry because it’s economical, durable, and maintains the classic "Carson" silhouette.
This M16-02SS model features a 3.54" tanto blade crafted from high-quality Sandvik 12C27 stainless steel, finished with a clean bead-blast to reduce glare. The tanto profile provides a reinforced tip for superior piercing power and heavy-duty utility. The ergonomics are defined by a classic silver stainless steel handle with the signature M16 weight-reducing holes, offering a solid, substantial feel in the hand. Utilizing the IKBS™ ball bearing pivot system and a flipper deployment, the action is incredibly smooth. For added safety, it features the Carson Flipper guard and a rock-solid frame lock mechanism.
