Product Description

The CRKT M40-03 is a modern tribute to the legacy of Kit Carson, blending his classic design language with one of the most innovative locking mechanisms in the industry. It provides a high-performance narrative by pairing a 3.45-inch 1.4116 stainless steel spear point blade with the revolutionary Deadbolt® lock. The blade features a non-reflective bead blast finish and deploys with remarkable speed and smoothness thanks to the IKBS™ ball bearing pivot system. With a handle constructed from glass-reinforced nylon and reinforced with 6063 aluminum bolsters, the M40-03 offers a robust yet lightweight feel that honors the "tactical-meets-utility" ethos of the original M16® and M21™ series.

Key Features:

• Innovative Deadbolt® Lock: Features steel bolts that interlock with the blade and liners for incredible strength; a prominent button at the pivot point allows for simple, safe, and intuitive one-handed closing.

• IKBS™ Ball Bearing Pivot: Combined with a fast-action flipper, this system ensures the blade glides open effortlessly, providing a satisfying and reliable deployment every time.

• Premium Hybrid Handle: The handle uses a strong glass-reinforced nylon base paired with silver aluminum bolsters, providing an elegant, classic look with modern structural integrity.
