Product Description
Introducing the M16 Deadbolt from CRKT® - a reimagined version of the popular M16 design by Kit Carson. This modern twist combines revolutionary innovations including Deadbolt®, Assisted Opening, and IKBS™ ball bearing pivot system for unparalleled performance and functionality. The M16-03DB doesn't hold back when it comes to getting the job done right, now excelling in three more ways than the beloved classic model.
This upgraded M16 features a 3.58" spear point blade crafted from high-performance D2 tool steel, finished in a rugged blackwash to hide wear and reduce glare. The deployment is powered by Ken Onion’s lightning-fast Assisted Opening and Flavio Ikoma’s IKBS™ ball bearing pivot system for smooth, instantaneous action. Locking is handled by the revolutionary Deadbolt mechanism, providing incredible strength and an intuitive button-like release that keeps fingers clear of the blade path. The black aluminum handle provides a solid, lightweight grip that maintains the classic M16 aesthetic while housing these modern tactical features.
