CRKT M16 (02DB) – 3.12″ D2 Black Stonewashed Tanto Plain Blade Black Aluminum Handle CR02DB

Product Description

The M16 is an iconic knife design that has been elevated to new heights with the addition of three groundbreaking innovations: the Deadbolt, Assisted Opening, and IKBS ball bearing pivot system. This compact tanto blade model, the M16-02DB, is faster and more efficient than ever before. Designed by legendary knife maker Kit Carson, this knife embodies a timeless classic with a modern twist, making it a must-have for any collector or outdoors enthusiast.

This upgraded M16 features a 3.12″ tanto blade constructed of high-performance D2 tool steel, finished in a rugged black stonewash to hide wear and reduce glare. The deployment is powered by Ken Onion’s lightning-fast Assisted Opening and Flavio Ikoma’s IKBS™ ball bearing pivot system for smooth, instantaneous action. Locking is handled by the revolutionary Deadbolt mechanism, providing incredible strength and an intuitive button-like release that keeps fingers clear of the blade path. The black aluminum handle provides a solid, lightweight grip that maintains the classic M16 aesthetic while housing these modern tactical features.
