CRM1610DZ: M16-10DZ Desert Tan - Tanto - Designed by Kit Carson

Columbia River

Admire it - then put it to work. 

From the popular M16 knife series, the M16-10DZ is an everyday carry knife designed to be used, just like the tactical version that inspired it. The tanto-style blade with Veff Serrations gives it extra bite, making effortless cuts through ropes and fibrous materials, while the automated liner safety offers an extra layer of lock security. The signature Carson Flipper and IKBS bearings ensure smooth opening and closing every time, making it intuitive in the hand. 

Now available in desert tan, this folding knife is ready for the line of duty - in whatever capacity you see fit.

*U.S. Patent No. 7,437,822

About the Knife Designer

Kit Carson of Vine Grove, Kentucky, is a retired professional soldier, rising to the level of Sergeant Major. He has made knives for 30 years and has been a full-time knifemaker since 1993. He is a voting member of the Knifemakers' Guild. Kit has been an avid hunter and fisherman for over 40 years, growing up enjoying the woods and trout streams in the mountains of north Georgia. About his philosophy of knife design, he says: “I strive to follow form and function in the knives I design and build. My reputation has been built around solid working knives, both fixed blades and folders. All the time spent outdoors as a young man and the time spent around the world with the Army has strongly influenced the knives I create.” Nothing reflects this approach more than the Carson Design of our M16 series, which is built for function, not to follow fads. This highly successful knife series was named one of the Top 10 Factory Tactical Folders of the Decade by Blade magazine. The M16-14M recently won a comparison test conducted by Germany's Messer magazine.

Easy open
A big fan of Columbia River knives for about 20 years. Their blades and design quality definitely meet the price. Sharp and easy to open. Nice essy and dependable locking system. Lightweight as well and as sharp as a razor. Pocket clip is set properly for easy access as well.

Not bad
This is a great small knife for light EDC work. I wouldn't recommend for self defense purposes. I keep this one in the original packaging, stored in my collection bin.
