COLUMBIA RIVER CRKT CARSON M16-01KE AUS-8 SPEAR KNIFE

Columbia River CRKT M16-01KE  Green Handle-Spear Blade-Plain Edge

Product Description:
After the incredible success of Kit Carsons original aluminum M16 Series, we began to get comments like this, I love my M16 Big Dog, but I wish I had a bit more compact size that I could carry every day, both on the job and at leisure. These requests reached the point that we could not ignore them, so here they are: the M16 Compact EDC (Every Day Carry).

While we were at the task of scaling down and refining the designs, we also decided to offer models with both Black and British Racing Green handles, and with non-reflective black titanium nitride coated blades.

We have made the contoured handles long enough for real work tasks. They are still 6061 T6 hard anodized aluminum, CNC machined with a perimeter radius for comfort. A stainless steel locking liner with friction grooves gives positive locking. We also incorporated the patented Lake And Walker Knife Safety (LAWKS) into all compact M16 models, which converts them into virtual fixed blades when engaged.

As in the larger models, premium AUS 8 stainless steel was chosen for blade steel, for its edge retention and durability.

All models feature the Carson Flipper extension to the blade, which aids opening and acts as an additional blade guard.

The M16-10 models feature Tanto-style blades with dual hollow grinds and Combined Razor-Sharp and Triple-Point Serrated edges. They offer maximum strength in a blade of this size. The M16-01 models have spear point blades with Razor-Sharp edges. They are versatile utility blades for a variety of jobs.

One-hand opening and closing is as velvet smooth as the larger M16s, the result of Teflon bearings at the blade pivot. The ambidextrous thumb studs with checkered surface provide instant access in any circumstance.

All models feature a removable black Teflon plated stainless steel clothing/gear clip. Not novelties, but real work knives—high performing little guys, like jockeys and featherweight boxers. And they can still be a hand full.

Please note:

We found ( ONE ) of these knives that are labeled as cosmetic seconds,
but other than a few minor scratches, there is absolutely nothing wrong with this knife!!!

 It is very unlikely that we will have any more of these.

This knife is Brand NEW in the box,
 and has never been sharpened, used, or carried
