CRKT M16-01KS Carson Folding Knife 3.12in Black Plain Spear Point Blade CRM1601KS

Designed by the legendary Kit Carson, this knife carries forward the legacy of the M16 series—trusted by military personnel and first responders worldwide. Engineered for durability and precision, it delivers a streamlined design with a solid build, making it an ideal everyday carry for those who demand performance.

At the core of the M16-01KS is a 3.125-inch spear point blade crafted from 8Cr14MoV stainless steel, known for its balance of edge retention and ease of sharpening. The blade features a black electro-deposit primer (EDP) coating, enhancing its resistance to wear and corrosion while reducing glare. A textured ambidextrous thumb stud ensures quick, reliable deployment in high-pressure situations.

Lockup is rock-solid thanks to a robust frame lock mechanism. The thick stainless steel lock bar secures the blade in place, delivering the confidence needed for hard use. The handle, constructed from stainless steel with a black oxide coating, is built to take a beating. Strategic cutouts not only reduce weight but also enhance grip, ensuring a firm hold in any environment.

Despite its durable construction, the M16-01KS remains lightweight and pocket-friendly. Weighing just 2.6 ounces and measuring 4 inches when closed, it’s easy to carry without adding unnecessary bulk. The reversible stainless steel pocket clip allows for versatile carry options, making it adaptable for both left- and right-handed users.

For those who rely on their gear in demanding conditions, the CRKT M16-01KS delivers. Built to withstand the elements, designed for precision, and backed by the heritage of the M16 series, it’s a knife that doesn’t just meet expectations—it exceeds them.
