The M16 is the most popular series that CRKT has ever seen. They're humbled to do right by the revered Kit Carson with this iteration of a legendary tactically-inspired everyday carry folding knife. This one is more than just a fresh take on a classic. It's a true tribute to one of the greats.

The late Kit Carson designed this and many of his other groundbreaking knives in his shop in Vine Grove, Kentucky. Kit's lasting legacy comes from his influence on the knife industry and is known for popularizing the flipper which is now a household component. In addition, he's also remembered for his esteemed ranking as a Master Sergeant and his high-profile membership in the Cutlery Hall of Fame. The M16-02X keeps all we love of Kit's original tactically-inspired everyday carry folding knife and adds a D2 tanto blade complete with a durable stonewash finish. With its crossbar lock, it's securely held in place in the midst of whatever job you put in front of it while the Grivory handle bored with three holes keeps it clean and light.

With this M16 reimagining, CRKT is honoring a legend the best way they know how.
