Product Description
The M16®-14XK "Big Dog" represents the ultimate modern evolution of Kit Carson’s most iconic tactical design. This full-sized heavy hitter updates the legendary M16 platform with a high-performance ambidextrous Crossbar Lock, replacing traditional liners for a mechanism that is faster, stronger, and more intuitive. Engineered for duty and hard-use environments, the 14XK retains the unmistakable "drill sergeant" aesthetic while integrating contemporary mechanics that allow for safe, one-handed operation from either side.
The massive 3.97" tanto blade is crafted from premium D2 tool steel, providing exceptional edge retention and structural toughness for demanding tasks. This model features Veff Serrations™, which are specifically angled to provide aggressive, effortless cutting through rope, webbing, and fibrous materials. Deployment is silky-smooth and instantaneous thanks to the integrated flipper and the IKBS™ ball bearing pivot system. The handle is constructed from high-strength black Grivory®, an aircraft-grade thermoplastic that ensures the knife remains lightweight and balanced without sacrificing durability. Complete with a reversible pocket clip, the M16-14XK is a modernized tactical classic built for 21st-century performance.
