CRM1601KZ: M16-01KZ - Spear Point - Designed by Kit Carson
CRKT
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.
The real breakthrough was our ability to engineer our patented* AutoLAWKS™ knife safety into all models, which automatically actuates when the blades are open, making these folders into virtual fixed blades when locked.
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.
8Cr Stainless Steel
One of the most common budget stainless steels, it maintains a competitive combination of edge retention and toughness in its price range.
Zytel Handles
A nylon polymer that is lightweight and extremely durable, Zytel can be shaped and textured to provide excellent grip.
Pocket Clip
Includes a pocket clip for easy accessibility and a more secure carry.

Columbia River CRKT M16-01KZ Carson Flipper 3" Plain Blade, Black GRN Handles
After trying many knives by many companies over the years, this particular form factor/series by CRKT is my favorite. The locking mechanism is great (but takes a bit to learn/commit to muscle memory), this particular version with the handle material is ok, I have another version that is all stainless steel.Overall, my favorite knife out of every knife. Easy to sharpen, small enough, very light. Just a great product.

EDC. This series of knives is great quality at a good price. I have purchased several of these for gifts and for myself. The dual locking mechanism affords great confidence that the knife blade stays in place. Holding its sharpness is fair to good. Sharpening is easy though.

I've owned this knife for approx. 2 years now. As a Retired US army Scout I used knives for mission support constantly... Now as an IT professional- I don't have a need for a carry knife nearly as much but I love to hunt and this knife is always in my pocket... it holds an edge better than any of my Gerber blades and it quicker and built better than any of my Kershaw knives... I touch up the edge about once every two weeks - not that it needs it... it's never seems to get dull, even with heavy use outside... I've gutted and cleaned an entire deer carcass without the need to sharpen in the field and it was still sharp enough to use back at base camp for anything I needed. excellent knife - I now own four of them, two M16 models and two M21 models - I'll probably never purchase anything else except my CRKT from now on...
