SHOP CASE KNIVESSKU: CRM1603DB
The CRKT M16-03DB is a sleek, high-performance folding knife that blends tactical strength with everyday carry convenience. Packed with innovative features and built with precision craftsmanship, it’s a blade that’s as functional as it is fierce. Available at the world’s largest knife store, Smoky Mountain Knife Works, the M16-03DB offers rock-solid reliability and smooth operation every time you reach for it.
At the heart of this knife is a 3.58-inch spear point blade made from D2 tool steel, a material prized for its hardness, edge retention, and toughness. Designed to handle both precision cuts and heavy-duty tasks, this plain-edge blade is ready for whatever you throw at it. The black stonewash finish not only gives it a rugged, no-nonsense look but also adds a layer of corrosion resistance while masking everyday wear.
Opening the M16-03DB is quick, smooth, and effortless. It features both a blade flipper and ambidextrous thumb studs, giving you two fast and intuitive deployment options. The spring-assisted open, combined with CRKT’s IKBS™ ball bearing pivot system, ensures lightning-fast, fluid blade action with minimal effort. Whether you’re right- or left-handed, you’ll have no problem getting this knife ready for action in an instant.
One of the most standout features of the M16-03DB is its patented Deadbolt® lock. This unique locking system uses steel bolts to secure the blade with extreme strength and stability, so you can trust it to stay firmly in place during heavy use. Unlike standard liner or frame locks, the Deadbolt lock is easy to operate, requiring only a simple press of a button to disengage. It offers unmatched security and convenience, giving you peace of mind no matter the task.
The handle of the M16-03DB is just as thoughtfully designed as the blade. Made from lightweight black aluminum, it features weight-reducing cutouts that enhance grip and reduce carry weight without compromising strength. The handle feels natural in hand, offering a comfortable and ergonomic grip that stays secure in wet, dry, or slippery conditions. At just 4 ounces, it’s lightweight enough for everyday carry but solid enough to handle tough jobs.
Designed with practicality in mind, the M16-03DB includes a tip-up pocket clip, allowing for convenient, discreet carry. At 4.75 inches closed and 8.25 inches overall, it offers a perfect balance of portability and utility. The .12-inch blade thickness provides a solid cutting edge while maintaining a slim, easy-to-carry profile.
Whether you need a knife for work, adventure, or everyday tasks, the CRKT M16-03DB is ready to rise to the challenge. It’s built for reliability, precision, and ease of use, with modern features that make it a must-have for knife enthusiasts, collectors, and those who value preparedness. Every element of this knife—from the D2 steel blade to the Deadbolt lock—was designed with performance in mind.
