The iconic M16 gets a modern upgrade. Battle tested and universally used-the iconic M16 family of knives comes from a long line of military-grade tools. The latest in the line of Carson Desert Tactical Folders developed for coalition forces in the Middle East, the M16-14XK Tanto improves upon an already iconic design with an ambidextrous Crossbar Lock paired with IKBS ball-bearing pivot for seamless deployment and easy one-hand closing. The tanto blade in tough D2 steel with Veff Serrations offers superior cutting performance in the most demanding situations, while the Grivory handle keeps the knife lightweight and nimble.
