Product Description
Take on civilian duties with a tested, military-grade design. Derived from the legendary Kit Carson M16® series, the M16®-01DZ is a practical everyday carry knife that adapts tactical performance for real-world utility. This model takes the iconic silhouette of the original and presents it in a mission-ready desert tan aesthetic, providing a durable and reliable tool for any environment.
The M16-01DZ features a 3.12" spear point blade crafted from premium D2 tool steel, offering superior edge retention and structural toughness. The blade is finished with a non-reflective desert tan Titanium Nitride (TiNi) coating for enhanced corrosion resistance. Deployment is lightning-fast and effortless thanks to the renowned Carson Flipper and the IKBS™ ball bearing pivot system. For enhanced safety, this folder utilizes an automated liner lock system that provides a secondary layer of lock security during heavy use. Finished with a desert tan glass-reinforced nylon (GRN) handle and a discrete pocket clip, this knife is a functional and easy-to-use powerhouse.
