CASE KNIVES
High quality, extremely collectible handmade knives since the 1800s.
SHOP CASE KNIVESThe CRKT Carson M16 Special Forces Folding Knife is built for strength, reliability, and tactical functionality. Designed by Kit Carson and influenced by military procurement requests, this knife features a 3.95-inch partially serrated tanto blade made from 1.4116 stainless steel. The blade is coated with a black titanium nitride finish to minimize reflection and provide enhanced corrosion resistance. Its Veff serrations are engineered for superior cutting performance on tough materials like rope and straps. Dual grind construction delivers maximum blade strength, making it a reliable choice for demanding tasks.
The knife's manual opening system utilizes a flipper opener paired with a ball-bearing pivot for smooth, quick blade deployment. The dual Carson flippers double as a hilt when the blade is open, adding a rare level of hand protection in folding knives. The liner lock mechanism, enhanced with automated liner safety, ensures the blade stays securely in place during use.
Crafted with black G-10 handles, this knife offers exceptional grip in all conditions. The handle's textured surface and weight-reducing cutouts provide a perfect balance of durability and comfort. Stainless steel liners reinforce the knife's structural integrity, while the open-frame design makes it easy to clean and maintain.
Designed for versatility, the knife includes a four-position stainless steel pocket clip, allowing for tip-up or tip-down carry in either hand. At 5.34 inches closed and weighing 6.5 ounces, this knife strikes a balance between substantial build quality and portability.
The CRKT Carson M16 Special Forces Folding Knife is a testament to robust design and precision engineering, making it ideal for tactical professionals, first responders, and serious knife enthusiasts.
