Product Description
The CRKT M16-03BK is a sophisticated reimagining of the most popular series in CRKT’s history, designed to honor the legacy of the late Kit Carson. This model provides a high-performance narrative by transitioning the legendary tactical platform into a refined everyday carry masterpiece. Featuring a 3.55-inch Sandvik 12C27 stainless steel spear point blade with a durable black oxide finish, it offers superior edge retention and corrosion resistance. The handle is a showstopper, crafted from bronze titanium nitride-coated stainless steel, providing a slim, overbuilt frame that feels as good in a suit pocket as it does in a work fatigue.
Key Features:
-
Premium Sandvik 12C27 Steel: A high-performance Swedish steel known for its purity and ability to take a razor-sharp edge that holds up through rigorous daily use.
-
Rapid Flipper Deployment: Utilizing the classic Carson Flipper, the blade snaps open instantly and serves as a sturdy finger guard when the knife is in the locked position.
-
Rock-Solid Frame Lock: Unlike the lighter Zytel versions, this model uses a thick stainless steel lock bar to provide "brute strength" security, ensuring the blade stays exactly where you want it.
-
Four-Way Reversible Clip: Engineered for ultimate carry versatility, the low-profile clip can be configured for tip-up or tip-down carry on either the left or right side.
