Product Description
Introducing the CRKT M16-14ZSF Special Forces Desert Tactical Folder, a heavy-duty "Big Dog" variant specifically engineered for elite forces operating in harsh desert environments. Designed by the legendary Kit Carson, this folder provides a high-performance narrative by combining a non-reflective bead-blasted AUS-8 stainless steel blade with a rugged Desert Camo glass-reinforced nylon (GRN) handle. The dual Carson Flippers not only offer lightning-fast, ambidextrous one-handed deployment but also form a true hilt for superior hand protection—a rare feature in a folding knife. With its patented AutoLAWKS™ safety system, this tactical folder essentially transforms into a virtual fixed blade when locked, ready to stay ahead of the game in any mission-critical situation.
Key Features:
-
3.99-inch AUS-8 stainless steel tanto blade with Triple-Point™ serrations for effortlessly powering through fibrous materials and cordage.
-
Rigid InterFrame construction with 420J2 stainless steel liners and desert camo glass-reinforced nylon scales for maximum durability in extreme climates.
-
Patented AutoLAWKS™ safety mechanism provides an extra layer of lock security, while the 4-position pocket clip allows for fully customizable tip-up or tip-down carry.
