The M16 Zytel models feature CRKT's 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.
The M16-13ZM Military 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.
Carson Desert folders feature the patented Lake And Walker Knife Safety (LAWKS), which effectively turns the folders into virtual fixed blades when it is actuated. One-hand opening and closing is quick and smooth, the result of precision tolerances and Teflon bearings at the blade pivot. The dual ambidextrous thumb studs with checkered surfaces provide instant access in any circumstance. All blades have Combined Razor-Sharp and Triple-Point Serrated edges.
