Product Description
The M16 Series from CRKT is a well-known, well-loved line of tactical knives that has rightfully earned its place in the pockets of soldiers all over the world. It remains so popular because it's economical and maintains rugged dependability. This "Big Dog" M16-04DB model takes that legendary heritage and supercharges it with modern power and security.
Designed by the late Kit Carson, this heavy-duty folder features a massive 3.89" tanto blade crafted from premium D2 tool steel, finished with a non-reflective blackwash to hide scratches and hard use. The deployment is lightning-fast thanks to the Ken Onion Assisted Opening and IKBS™ ball bearing pivot system, providing an instantaneous response when seconds count. The ergonomics are defined by the classic M16 black aluminum handle, now housing Flavio Ikoma’s revolutionary Deadbolt® locking mechanism. This provides incredible structural strength and an intuitive button-style release that keeps your fingers entirely clear of the blade's path during closing.
