Product Description
The CRKT M16-01KS is a streamlined, all-black iteration of the legendary Kit Carson M16 design, optimized for modern everyday carry. This stainless steel (SS) variation provides a high-performance narrative by replacing traditional liners with a robust frame lock mechanism, offering a thinner profile and rock-solid blade security. The 3.125-inch 8Cr13MoV spear point blade is finished with a black electro-deposit primer (EDP) coating for enhanced corrosion resistance and a non-reflective look. With its signature Carson Flipper for rapid deployment and a classic black oxide stainless steel handle, the 01KS is a simple, tough, and affordable tool that delivers military-grade heritage in a pocket-friendly format.
