Product Description

The M16® series has been a cornerstone of military-grade tactical tools for decades, celebrated for its rugged reliability and field-tested performance. The M16®-03XK brings a revolutionary modern touch to Kit Carson’s classic design by incorporating the ambidextrous Crossbar Lock. This evolution maintains the iconic silhouette and "drill sergeant" toughness of the original while providing a faster, safer, and more intuitive operational experience for both left and right-handed users.

The M16®-03XK features a 3.57" spear point blade crafted from premium D2 tool steel, a high-performance alloy known for its exceptional hardness and superior wear resistance. The blade is finished with a non-reflective black EDP (Electro Deposition Primer) coating, offering enhanced corrosion resistance and a sleek tactical profile. Deployment is instantaneous and silky smooth thanks to the integrated flipper tab and the IKBS™ ball-bearing pivot system. The ergonomics are defined by a high-strength black Grivory® handle—an aircraft-grade thermoplastic engineered for maximum durability and a positive, high-friction grip in wet or dry environments. Complete with a reversible pocket clip and the rock-solid Crossbar Lock, this M16 is built for those who demand modern innovation in a legendary platform.
