Product Description

The M16®-14XD "Big Dog" represents the ultimate tactical evolution of Kit Carson’s legendary military platform. Specifically engineered to meet the grueling demands of coalition forces in arid environments, this iteration transitions the classic M16 into the modern era. By pairing the iconic Desert Tan aesthetic with the revolutionary ambidextrous Crossbar Lock, CRKT has created a heavy-duty folder that is faster, safer, and more intuitive than ever before, maintaining its "drill sergeant" toughness while offering 21st-century operational fluidity.

The M16-14XD features a massive 3.97" tanto blade crafted from premium D2 tool steel, a high-performance alloy renowned for its incredible hardness and superior edge retention. The blade is treated with a Desert Tan Titanium Nitride (TiNi) coating for maximum corrosion resistance and low-visibility in desert theaters. Equipped with aggressive Veff Serrations™, this knife zips through rope, webbing, and fibrous materials with surgical ease. Deployment is instantaneous thanks to the IKBS™ ball-bearing pivot system, while the aircraft-grade Grivory® handle provides an indestructible, high-traction grip that minimizes weight without sacrificing structural integrity.
