Product Description
The CRKT M16-01KZ is a "best-value" tactical folder designed by Kit Carson to be the ultimate workhorse for civilians and professionals alike. This model provides a high-performance narrative by pairing a 3.125-inch 8Cr13MoV stainless steel spear point blade with a slim, black-on-black tactical profile. The handle is built using textured glass-filled nylon (GFN) scales over a dual 2Cr13 stainless steel liner InterFrame, providing incredible rigidity and solvent resistance without added weight. Featuring a non-reflective black EDP corrosion-resistant coating and the patented AutoLAWKS™ safety system, the M16-01KZ essentially transforms into a virtual fixed blade for safe, heavy-duty cutting tasks.
