Columbia River Carson M16 Flipper 3.89" Tanto Blade

The popular CRKT M16 design by the late Kit Carson makes a comeback with the stainless steel series. Packing even more power and functionality than before, the three versions offer a range of blade size and construction-so you can choose which one serves you best. Keeping all the fan-favorite features from Kit's line of tactical folders, then reimagined as an everyday carry, the M16-04SS adds even more strength and performance to the mix. Built with a tanto, high-quality Sandvik 12C27 blade for excellent edge retention, it's topped with a bead blast finish to reduce any unwanted glare or reflection. Hailing from a true classic, the stainless steel M16-04SS is a whole other caliber of comeback.

The M16 is the most popular series that CRKT has ever seen. They're humbled to do right by the revered Kit Carson with this 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'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 M16-04KS keeps all we love of Kit's original tactically-inspired everyday carry folding knife and adds a substantial tanto blade complete with a durable bead blast 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 five holes keeps clean and light.
