CRKT M16-02KS Folding EDC Pocket Knife

Honoring a Legendary Knife Designer: The CRKT M16-02KS

The CRKT M16 series has become one of the most popular folding knife collections ever produced by the company. In a tribute to the renowned knife designer, Kit Carson, CRKT has released the M16-02KS, a new iteration of a legendary tactically-inspired everyday carry folding knife.

Kit Carson, who designed this and many of his other groundbreaking knives in his shop in Vine Grove, Kentucky, has left an indelible mark on the knife industry. He is widely recognized for popularizing the flipper, a component that has now become a household feature. Additionally, Carson's esteemed rank as a Master Sergeant and his induction into the Cutlery Hall of Fame have further cemented his legacy.

The M16-02KS pays homage to Kit Carson's original design, retaining all the features that made his folding knife a favorite among users. The standout addition is the Tanto blade, which features a durable black oxide finish. The hardy frame lock securely holds the blade in place, ensuring it can handle any task you throw its way.

The stainless steel handle, with its four carefully placed holes, not only keeps the knife clean and lightweight but also adds to its overall durability. The flipper mechanism ensures a fast and smooth blade deployment, allowing for quick access when needed.
