CRKT M16 13Z Folding Knife | 8CR15MoV Stainless Steel, Spear Point, CR13Z

Here is Kit Carson's M16® Everyday Carry (EDC) with our glass filled nylon InterFrame built in the black-on-black tactical dress. Our knife users told us, "We want an affordable work knife that we can give hard use without feeling guilty, and one that won't break us up if we leave it on a job site or drop it in the river."

We heard from you. So we set about to make the Z EDC the best value in the work and sport knife world.

That starts with textured glass-filled nylon scales and a dual stainless steel liner InterFrame. Assembled with glass-filled nylon back spacers and Torx® fasteners, the result is amazingly rigid. Glass filled nylon offers excellent toughness and resistance to solvents. Lubrous washers at the blade pivot and an adjustable pivot screw allow for perfect blade action.

The blade is 8CR15MoV high-carbon stainless steel which gives an ideal combination of toughness and edge-holding ability in a work knife and also allows easy field-sharpening.

The M16®-01KZ uses our popular spear point slim profile blade with a Razor-Sharp edge. It is ideal for fine cutting and carving tasks. It has a black EDP blade, black frame, and hardware.

Of course, it features the Carson Flipper, which speeds the opening of the blade and acts as a blade guard when the blade is open.

This knife also features AutoLAWKS™, the Lake and Walker Knife Safety innovation taken to the next level. AutoLAWKS™ automatically 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 AutoLAWKS™ red button lever back, slide the locking liner over, and fold the blade into the closed position.

Add to these features the standard removable stainless steel clothing/gear clip plus the CRKT limited lifetime warranty, and you have one of the truly great knife values of our time.
