CRKT M16-13ZM EDC Folding Pocket Knife: Everyday Carry, Serrated Edge Blade, Automated Liner Safety, Desert Nylon Handle, Pocket Clip

Product Description The service men and women of the coalition forces in the Middle East and Afghanistan require cutting tools that can stand up to the harsh demands of the desert. Our Carson Desert Tactical Folders have been developed specifically to blend into the desert environment. Our M16-13ZM Military model features our super rigid InterFrame build with 420J2 stainless steel liners, threaded stainless steel back spacers, and Desert Camo pattern glass filled nylon scales. The blade is non-reflective bead-blast finished AUS 4 stainless steel. It blends and almost disappears in the desert. This model features a 3.50" (89 mm) spear point blade and weighs only 3.5 oz. (99 g). It is ideal when weight and bulk must be kept to a minimum. It comes with a removable clothing/gear clip. It also features our automated liner safety. Automated liner safety is the locking liner safety innovation taken to the next level. The automated liner safety sets a pin between the locking liner and the frame. This pin acts as an additional layer of safety, so the locking liner is less likely to disengage during use. To close the knife, pull the red buttoned safety lever back, slide the locking liner over, and fold the blade into the closed position. Want one of the most secure safety systems on the market? The choice is automatic.The blade has Combined Razor-Sharp and Triple-Point Serrated edges.Specifications:Blade Length: 3.5" (88.9 mm)Edge: CombinationSteel: AUS 4Blade Finish: Bead BlastBlade Thickness: 0.1" (2.54 mm)Grind: HollowClosed Length: 4.75" (120.65 mm)Open Length: 8.25" (209.55 mm)Weight: 3.5 oz (99.22g)Handle: Glass Reinforced NylonStyle: Folding Knife with Locking Liner From the Manufacturer Those with a military background know what it means to earn the rank of Sergeant Major. After Kit Carson retired from the U.S. Army at that rank, he became a custom knifemaker, and began making his custom M16® models for his former colleagues. His M16®-13M model is identical in construction to the popular CRKT aluminum M16, offering the same sure-grip contoured handles of 6061 T6 aluminum, hard anodized in Olive Drab. The stainless steel locking liners with friction grooves are also black. The blade is imprinted with Gary Paul Johnston's 1* (one-ass-to-risk) reminder logo and features an AUS 8 stainless steel blade with Combined Razor-Sharp and Triple-Point™ Serrated edge, chosen for edge retention and durability. Black titanium nitride coating gives superior corrosion resistance. It features the Carson Flipper extension to the blade, which aids opening and acts as an additional blade guard. The M16®-13M features a spear point blade with a false top edge. It is a slim profile design that is ideal for a variety of carry positions. One-hand opening and closing is quick and smooth, the result of lubrous washers at the blade pivot. The ambidextrous thumb stud with checkered surface provides instant access in any circumstance. It features our patented* AutoLAWKS™ safety, which automatically turns the folders into fixed blades when the blade is opened and locked. The M16®-13M also has a removable black stainless steel clothing/gear clip. In 2004, Germany's Messer magazine conducted an exhaustive comparison test of six leading tactical folders. On the basis of blade and pivot strength, retention of cutting edge, action, and value, Messer's editors declared, "The Columbia River M16 took the award . . . The quality control of this knife was flawless." If you serve in the military, be careful out there! Carry one of the 1* M16 folders. Designed for those who serve. *U.S. Patent Nos. 5,596,808 and 7,437,822
