## Overview

## Description

Here is Kit Carson's M16 Every Day Carry (EDC) with our glass filled nylon InterFrame build in black-on-black tactical dress.Our knife users told us, "We want an affordable work knife that we can give hard use without feeling guilty, and one that won't break us up if we leave it on a job site or drop it in the river."We heard you. So we set about to make the Z EDC the best value in the work and sport knife world.That starts with textured glass filled nylon scales and a dual stainless steel liner InterFrame. Assembled with glass filled nylon back spacers and Torx fasteners, the result is amazingly rigid. Glass filled nylon offers excellent toughness and resistance to solvents. Lubrous washers at the blade pivot and an adjustable pivot screw allow for perfect blade action.The blade is 8CR15MoV high-carbon stainless steel which gives an ideal combination of toughness and edge-holding ability in a work knife, and also allows easy field-sharpening.The M16-01KZ uses our popular spear point slim profile blade with a Razor-Sharp edge. It is ideal for fine cutting and carving tasks. It has a black EDP blade, black frame and hardware.Of course, it features the Carson Flipper, which speeds opening of the blade and acts as a blade guard when the blade is open.This knife also features automated liner safety. Automated liner safety is the locking liner safety innovation taken to the next level. The automated liner safety sets a pin between the locking liner and the frame. This pin acts as an additional layer of safety, so the locking liner is less likely to disengage during use. To close the knife, pull the red buttoned safety lever back, slide the locking liner over, and fold the blade into the closed position. Want one of the most secure safety systems on the market? The choice is automatic.Add to these features the standard removable stainless steel clothing/gear clip plus the CRKT limited lifetime warranty, and you have one of the truly great knife values of our time.Specifications:Blade Length: 3.13" (79.38 mm)Edge: PlainSteel: 8Cr13MoVBlade Finish: EDPBlade Thickness: 0.08" (2.03 mm)Grind: HollowClosed Length: 4.00" (101.60 mm)Open Length: 7.13" (180.98 mm)Weight: 2.3 oz (65.2g)Handle: Glass Reinforced NylonStyle: Folding Knife with Liner Lock

Review: Excelent knife that will never let you down. - I bought this knife to try out the brand, and was not disappointed. The lock is nice, though you have to break it in a little to make it easier to close, but I never had any problems with it not working. There was no give in this knife, no wiggle when testing it, both new and used, and no doubt that it would hold under pressure. Backpacking with this knife was great because of its lower weight, and the black blade meant no glare back in your face when in use. The clip on this knife is great, with just enough room to get your pants pocket into it, but not so much that it wiggles off easily. Size is great, not too big, definitely not too small. The edge of the blade didn't get dull quickly, and even after months of use still was sharp. I actually lost this knife recently, and am purchasing another one while I look for the old one since this is my every day knife that I carry. Best that happens, I find the old one and have two, worst that happens is I don't find the old one, and at least have one to use. I highly recommend this knife to anyone.
Review: Everyday use - I like the size and appearance. Well made and made to last. I had the exact knife for 6yrs and lost it. Thats Only reason i ordered the exact same one. Really great everyday knife. It holds a good sharp edge and performs with out question. Keep in mind it's not a screw driver or a prying tool. Its a knife. A Great knife. I highly recommend this knife to any who carries and uses a knife day in and day out. I Won't leave the house without out. Can't beat the price.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This is probably like the 5th or 6th CRKT M16 I have owned ...
*by P***R on July 10, 2014*

This is probably like the 5th or 6th CRKT M16 I have owned (I am always losing them!) but it has been my preferred daily-carry knife for several years now. Lightweight, rides easy and deep in the pocket, decent quality steel blade (that is VERY sharp out of the box, and can easily be maintained) this was my first "real" knife. The auto-lawks closing system can take a little getting used to if you have never used it before (just get used to people who want to see your knife or use it never, ever knowing how to close it once it's opened, it can actually be pretty funny watching their confused expressions trying to get the blade close again...) but soon it will be second nature, flicking the blade open with a practiced little twist of the wrist, and then closing it just easy. It's definitely important to put some locktite (the blue stuff works best) on the little clip screws, because they always loosen and fallout, on every single m16 i've ever had. Other than that, it really is the perfect every day use knife. Sharp. Good looking. Easily concealable. You just can't go wrong with a CRKT m16.
