Added pics and specs to CR-M16-13ZM CRKT M16-13 Zytel Desert Camo

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. The Carson Desert Tactical Folders from Columbia River Knife & Tool (CRKT) have been developed specifically to blend into the desert environment. 

Our two special M16 Zytel® models feature our super rigid InterFrame build with 420J2 stainless steel liners, threaded stainless steel back spacers, and Desert Camo pattern Zytel scales. Blades are non-reflective bead-blast finished AUS 4 stainless steel. They blend and almost disappear in the desert.

This model features a 3.50” (8.9 cm) spear point blade and weighs only 3.5 oz. (99 g). It is ideal when weight and bulk must be kept to a minimum, and is usable in a variety of carry positions. It comes with a removable Teflon®-plated clothing/gear clip.

Kit Carson, Knifemakers’ Guild member, and designer of the M16® Series, designs for function, not fad. Heft any M16 and you’ll know what that means.

His original M16 aluminum build series for Columbia River Knife & Tool (CRKT) has proven to be one of our most popular lines, largely because of its combination of premium materials, ergonomic design and excellent value. In 2003, it was named one of the Top 10 Factory Tactical Folders of the Decade by Blade magazine.

Added pics and specs to CR-M16-13SF CRKT M16-13 Special Forces

The CRKT M16® Carson Special Forces Folders. Special knives for professional use. Designed with military special forces in mind, these are “folding fixed blades” with a true hilt.

These knives share a unique design offering a combination of Carson M16® Aluminum Series features requested by a military procurement specialist. The dual grind Tanto-style combination edge blades were specified because they offer maximum strength. The open build allows two Carson Flippers to be incorporated, resulting in a true hilt— very rare in folding knives. Blade, frame and hardware are all non-reflective black.
