## Description

Homage: Paid. The M16 is the most popular series that CRKT has ever seen. We’re humbled to do right by the revered Kit Carson with this new iteration of a legendary tactically-inspired everyday carry folding knife. This one is more than just a fresh take on a classic. It’s a true tribute to one of the greats.The late Kit Carson designed this and many of his other groundbreaking knives in his shop in Vine Grove, Kentucky. Kit’s lasting legacy comes from his influence on the knife industry—he’s known for popularizing the flipper which is now a household component. In addition, he’s also remembered for his esteemed ranking as a Master Sergeant and his high-profile membership in the Cutlery Hall of Fame. The M16-02KS keeps all we love of Kit’s original tactically-inspired everyday carry folding knife and adds a Tanto blade complete with a durable black oxide finish. With its hardy frame lock, it’s securely held in place in the midst of whatever job you put in front of it while the stainless steel handle bored with four holes keeps clean and light. With the M16 reissue, we’re honoring a legend the best way we know how.Specifications:Blade Length: 3.057" (77.65 mm)Edge: PlainSteel: 12C27 SandvikBlade Finish: Black OxideBlade Thickness: 0.117" (2.97 mm)Grind: HollowClosed Length: 4.299" (109.19 mm)Open Length: 7.313" (185.75 mm)Weight: 3.7 oz (104.89g)Handle: 2Cr13Style: Folding Knife with Frame Lock

Review: Great Knife! - CRKT knives are excellent. Razor sharp out of the box. Can open them with one hand. Prefect for EDC.
Review: Great knife - I have been carrying this knife everyday for alittle more than a month now. Great product. It is holding it's edge very well and has no issues cutting through any plastic or cardboard I come across during my day. I wear dress pants every day and the rough g10 hasn't destroyed my pants yet but it probably will after a while so beware of that. I flipped my clip to tip up because it is more natural for me to draw. The fipper works great and becomes a guard when the blade is open preventing your hand from sliding up on this small knife. It is a very small knife and for edc it disappears in your pocket. Only complaint are the tiny extremely hard to find torx screws to flip the pocket clip on the knife. Most stores do not sell anything smaller than a t15 so good luck finding one. I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a cheap edc knife. I'll be getting a larger one to carry on the weekends when I'm not in the office. The autolawks system works as intended and breaks in after a little while beware it is tight at first and might be impossible for someone with hand issues.

## Features

- Fast Opening: The flipper deploys the blade fast
- Brute Strength: Frame lock utilizes a thick lock bar to secure the blade
- Ultimate Durability: Stainless steel handle withstands hard use
- Designed by Kit Carson in Vine Grove, Kentucky

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beyond expectations
*by C***O on February 8, 2019*

I enjoy this knife, it’s easy to open and close. I like the frame lock my arthritic hands find it easier to open and close verse other knives. My last crkt was a let down felt maybe the quality had been slipping I’ve been buying crkt and the original M16 since the late 90s. This appears to be close to the original I will say it doesn’t match the quality of the original which i still have they seem more Solid. But for the money this is steel a great knife well worth more then $35. It also came very sharp out of the box. The clip is in improvement over the other M16 and M21.
