Description

Closing Knife CRKT M16-03KS.

Tribute: Paid. The M16® is the most popular line CRKT has ever seen. The venerable Kit Carson humbly does us right with this new iteration of the legendary tactical-inspired folding knife for everyday carry. This is more than just a fresh take on a classic. It is a true tribute to one of the greats.

The late Kit Carson designed this and many of his other pioneering knives in his shop in Vine Grove, Kentucky. Kit’s lasting legacy comes from his influence on the knife industry – he is known for popularizing the fin, which is now a household item. In addition, he is also remembered for his esteemed position as Master Sergeant and his high-ranking membership in the Cutlery Hall of Fame. The M16®-03KS retains everything we love about Kit’s original tactical-inspired folding knife for everyday carry, adding a spearhead blade with a durable black oxide finish. Its durable frame lock keeps it securely in place in the middle of whatever job you put in front of it, while the five-hole stainless steel handle keeps it clean and light.

With the M16® reissue, we honor the legend in the best way we can.
