CRKT M16-03XD Desert Tan Tactical Folding Knife

The CRKT M16-03XD Desert Tan Folding Knife is a rugged tactical everyday carry knife designed by legendary knifemaker Kit Carson. Built for strength, reliability, and fast deployment, this knife is part of CRKT’s iconic M16 series, trusted by military personnel, first responders, and EDC enthusiasts worldwide.

The knife features a 3.5-inch spear point blade made from D2 tool steel, offering superior edge retention, toughness, and wear resistance compared to traditional stainless steels. The blade deploys quickly using the Carson Flipper opening mechanism, allowing smooth one-handed operation.

The desert tan glass-reinforced nylon handle provides a lightweight yet durable grip with tactical styling. For added safety and strength, the knife includes CRKT’s AutoLAWKS® safety system, which automatically converts the liner lock into a virtual fixed blade when open.

Additional features include a reversible pocket clip for convenient carry, textured handle scales for improved grip, and a design that balances tactical performance with everyday practicality.
