More about the M16 knife product line from Columbia River Knife & Tool:
Kit Carson, Knifemakers’ Guild member, and designer of the M16® Series, designs for function, not fad. Heft any M16 and you'll know what that means. For example, wide blade design for multiple and difficult tasks. Sure-grip contoured handles of 6061 T6 hard anodized charcoal gray aluminum with a perimeter radius for a comfortable grip with or without work gloves. A stainless steel locking liner with friction grooves for positive locking with limited access and superior safety. AUS 8 stainless steel blades, chosen for edge retention and durability, in non-reflective frost finish. Combined Razor-Sharp and Triple-Point Serrated edges for rugged cutting tasks that break down standard cutting edges.
All models feature the “Carson Flipper” extension to the blade, which aids opening and acts as an additional blade guard. It makes the M16 line especially easy to open when wearing gloves.
One-hand opening and closing is velvet smooth, the result of Teflon bearings at the blade pivot. The ambidextrous thumb studs with checkered surface provide instant access in any circumstance. Every model features a removable Teflon-plated stainless steel clothing/gear clip.
CRKT has incorporated their patented AutoLAWKS automatic safety, an advanced version of the Lake And Walker Knife Safety, into all M16 models, which automatically converts them into virtual fixed blades when opened.
All models of the M16 Series are perfectly balanced, and every detail has a working purpose.
More about the designer:
Kit Carson of Vine Grove, Kentucky, is a retired professional soldier, rising to the level of Sergeant Major. He has made knives for 30 years and has been a full-time knifemaker since 1993. He is a voting member of the Knifemakers’ Guild. Kit has been an avid hunter and fisherman for over 40 years, growing up enjoying the woods and trout streams in the mountains of north Georgia. About his philosophy of knife design, he says: “I strive to follow form and function in the knives I design and build. My reputation has been built around solid working knives, both fixed blade and folders. All the time spent outdoors as a young man and the time spent around the world with the Army has strongly influenced the knives I create.” Nothing reflects this approach more than the Carson Design of our M16 series, which is built for function, not to follow fads. This highly successful knife series was named one of the Top 10 Factory Tactical Folders of the Decade by Blade magazine. The M16-14M recently won a comparison test conducted by Germany’s Messer magazine.
