CRKT M16-01KZC Folding Pocket Knife: Black Blade, Automated Liner Safety, Nylon Handle, Pocket Clip

Key to its durability are the textured Zytel scales and dual stainless steel liner InterFrame, reinforced with Zytel back spacers and Torx fasteners for exceptional rigidity. Zytel, a fiberglass-filled nylon, offers superior toughness and resistance to solvents. Enhancing functionality are lubrous washers at the blade pivot and an adjustable pivot screw ensuring flawless blade action.

The blade is forged from 8CR15MoV high-carbon stainless steel, renowned for its balance of toughness and edge retention, coupled with ease of field-sharpening. The M16-01KZ showcases a spear point slim profile blade with a razor-sharp EDP coating, complemented by a black frame and hardware. Its Carson Flipper facilitates swift blade deployment and doubles as a protective guard when open.

A standout feature is our patented AutoLAWKS knife safety system, seamlessly integrated into all models. This innovation automatically engages when the blade is open, effectively transforming the folder into a virtual fixed blade upon locking. It prevents accidental disengagement of the locking liner during use, offering a secure operational experience. Closing the knife is intuitive with the automated liner safety, where a red safety lever is pulled back to release the blade for folding.

Additional highlights include a standard removable stainless steel clothing/gear clip and the assurance of CRKT's limited lifetime warranty, ensuring peace of mind for the long term.
