Description

Closing Knife CRKT M16-04DB.

Back and ready for action. Adapted from the beloved M16® of the late Kit Carson, this modern tactical folding knife packs three revolutionary innovations into one design. Locked and loaded, the M16®-04DB combines Deadbolt®, Assisted Opening, and an IKBS™ ball-bearing pivot system to create the ultimate everyday carry that you’ll definitely want on your side. It may be a classic, but this knife is designed to perform in the modern world.

When the late Kit Carson released the original M16® years ago, he may not have realized it would be the start of a whole new legacy. Jump to today, the fresh design comes out with a bang – now built with triple the power. Working in tandem, Ken Onion’s lightning-fast assisted opening seamlessly mates with Flavio Ikoma’s IKBS™ ball-bearing pivot system for a super-smooth, fast deployment action. Then, thanks to Flavio’s Deadbolt®, the tanto D2’s 3.89” steel blade stays firmly in place as you swing it across the toughest surface.

Built with a lightweight aluminum handle for added strength and ease of grip, the M16®-04DB steps forward as the largest of the redesigned M16® series (compared to the M16®-02DB and M16®-03DB). So if you’re looking for a time-tested design that punches above its weight, it doesn’t get much better than the M16®-04DB.

He comes from a legend and is ready for action.

How assisted opening works
It’s held securely closed in a pocket, but initiate deployment and the blade opens with impressive speed during rotation for simple, powerful one-handed opening.

How Deadbolt® works
Steel screws lock into the blade when it is deployed to provide incredible strength. A prominent button is located at the pivot point for simple and intuitive disengagement without fingers crossing the path of the blade.
