Product Description
The M16-03BALI™ transforms Kit Carson’s legendary tactical folder into a high-performance, American-made balisong. While many butterfly knives are designed as novelties, the M16-03BALI is engineered as a serious, hard-use cutting tool. Built in Colorado by Live Sharp Industries, this model merges the iconic aesthetic of the M16 series with the fluid dynamics of a professional-grade flipper. It is a lightweight, perfectly balanced instrument designed for users who demand elite materials and real-world reliability in their everyday carry.
The 3.35" drop point blade is crafted from CPM MagnaCut, the breakthrough American super steel that offers an unrivaled combination of extreme toughness, edge retention, and near-total corrosion immunity. The blade features a rugged stonewashed finish that masks the wear of daily tasks. The handles are precision-machined from lightweight black aluminum, providing a slim profile that doesn't compromise on structural integrity. Equipped with the IKBS™ ball-bearing pivot system, the action is friction-free and exceptionally smooth, ensuring consistent performance whether you are opening the knife for work or practice.
