Product Info for CRKT M16 Z Series Big Dog Tanto Folding Knife

CRKT M16 Z Series Big Dog Tanto Folding Knife is built for function, not fad, and it is an exceptional value. This CRKT knife is ideal for a variety of carry positions, with a tough blade, light weight, and easy-to-handle profile. Each of these knives uses the very successful InterFrame handle construction: tough, textured glass filled nylon scales over a 420J2 stainless steel liner, making for an exceptionally rigid handle that fills the hand perfectly. The Columbia River Z-Series Nylon Handle Tanto Folder Knife uses tough AUS 8 high-carbon stainless steel for its blade to give greater everyday utility, finished with a corrosion-resistant bead-blast coating for extra durability. CRKT has equipped the knife with the Carson Flipper, which is not only an aid to opening the blade, especially when wearing gloves, but acts as a blade guard when the blade is open; the knife also features the patented AutoLAWKS automatic knife safety, which converts the M16 Z-Series into a virtual fixed blade when its blade is open and locked. All styles have lubrous washers and a removable stainless steel clothing/gear clip. Whatever you duty entails, it will be easier with a CRKT M16-Z AUS 8 Big Dog Tanto Folding Pocket Knife at your side.image
