CRKT M16-14Z Black Tanto Folding Knife

Introducing Kit Carson's M16 series, a collection of knives that have gained immense popularity over the years. Among them, the M16-04Z and M16-14Z Big Dogs stand out with their larger dual grind Tanto-style blades, making them perfect for heavy-duty tasks and individuals with larger hands. These knives are designed for functionality rather than following trends, offering exceptional value for their quality. Constructed with our successful InterFrame design, they feature tough and textured glass-filled nylon scales over a 420J2 stainless steel liner. We have gone the extra mile to ensure rigidity by incorporating solid glass-filled nylon back spacers and assembling the handle with superior offset Torx fasteners. The result is an exceptionally rigid handle that fits perfectly in your hand. The blades are made from our durable AUS 8 high-carbon stainless steel, providing excellent everyday utility. You have the option to choose between a Razor-Sharp edge or a Combined Razor-Sharp and Triple-Point Serrated edge, depending on your preference. One of the standout features of these knives is the Carson Flipper, which not only assists in opening the blade, especially when wearing gloves, but also acts as a blade guard when the blade is open. Additionally, our automated liner safety takes the locking liner safety to the next level. By setting a pin between the locking liner and the frame, we have added an extra layer of safety, reducing the chances of the locking liner disengaging during use. To close the knife, simply pull back the red buttoned safety lever, slide the locking liner over, and fold the blade into the closed position. This system provides one of the most secure safety mechanisms available on the market. All models come with lubrous washers for smooth operation and a removable stainless steel clothing/gear clip for convenience. Think of the M16-Z as a reliable Clydesdale, always ready for battle or everyday tasks. With its impressive features and sturdy construction, it will serve you faithfully day after day.
