The M16 is the most popular series that CRKT has ever seen. We’re humbled to do right by the revered Kit Carson with this new iteration of a legendary tactically-inspired everyday carry folding knife. This one is more than just a fresh take on a classic. It’s a true tribute to one of the greats.The late Kit Carson designed this and many of his other groundbreaking knives in his shop in Vine Grove, Kentucky. Kit’s lasting legacy comes from his influence on the knife industry—he’s known for popularizing the flipper which is now a household component. Beyond that, he’s also remembered for his esteemed ranking as a Master Sergeant and his high-profile membership in the Cutlery Hall of Fame. The M16-04KS keeps all we love of Kit’s original tactically-inspired everyday carry folding knife and adds a substantial tanto blade complete with a durable black oxide finish. With its hardy frame lock, it’s securely held in place in the midst of whatever job you put in front of it while the stainless steel handle bored with five holes keeps clean and light. With the M16 reissue, we’re honoring a legend the best way we know how.Specifications:Blade Length: 3.871" (98.32 mm)Edge: PlainSteel: 12C27 SandvikBlade Finish: Black OxideBlade Thickness: 0.134" (3.4 mm)Grind: HollowClosed Length: 5.337" (135.56 mm)Open Length: 9.313" (236.55 mm)Weight: 6.2 oz (175.77g)Handle: 2Cr13Style: Folding Knife with Frame Lock ## Features - Fast Opening: The flipper deploys the blade fast - Brute Strength: Frame lock utilizes a thick lock bar to secure the blade - Ultimate Durability: Stainless steel handle withstands hard use - Designed by Kit Carson in Vine Grove, Kentucky - Versitile Use: Built tough for use around the house, in the garage or at the shop ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0768S954F | | Age Range (Description) | Adult | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Best Sellers Rank | #93,324 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #421 in Pocket Knives & Folding Knives | | Blade Edge | Plain | | Blade Length | 1.25 Inches | | Blade Material | Stainless Steel | | Blade Shape | Tanto Point | | Blade Type | Tanto | | Brand | CRKT | | Brand Name | CRKT | | Color | Black Blade / Stainless Handle | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 330 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00794023001266 | | Hand Orientation | Ambidextrous | | Handle Material | Stainless Steel | | Included Components | Knife | | Item Length | 9.31 Inches | | Item Shape | Tanto | | Item Type Name | M16®-04KS | | Item Weight | 6.2 Ounces | | Manufacturer | Columbia River Knife and Tool (CRKT) | | Model Name | M16®-04KS | | Model Number | M16-04KS | | Part Number | M16-04KS | | Power Source | Manual | | Product Care Instructions | Hand Wash Only | | Recommended Uses For Product | Everyday Carry | | Reusability | Reusable | | Size | 1.3" | | Special Feature | Foldable | | Special Features | Foldable | | Style | Black Blade / Stainless Handle | | UPC | 794023001266 | | Warranty Description | Limited Lifetime Warranty | ## Product Details - **Age Range (Description):** Adult - **Blade Material:** Stainless Steel - **Brand:** CRKT - **Color:** Black Blade / Stainless Handle - **Handle Material:** Stainless Steel - **Included Components:** Knife - **Model Name:** M16®-04KS - **Recommended Uses For Product:** Everyday Carry - **Special Feature:** Foldable - **Style:** Black Blade / Stainless Handle ## Images ![M16-04KS Folding Knife with Frame Lock: 12C27 Plain Edge Blade, Stainless Steel Handle, Reversible Pocket Clip, M16-04KS - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/613YskXvxBL.jpg) ![M16-04KS Folding Knife with Frame Lock: 12C27 Plain Edge Blade, Stainless Steel Handle, Reversible Pocket Clip, M16-04KS - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61MuwlTzbsL.jpg) ![M16-04KS Folding Knife with Frame Lock: 12C27 Plain Edge Blade, Stainless Steel Handle, Reversible Pocket Clip, M16-04KS - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61Phb7lgPvL.jpg) ![M16-04KS Folding Knife with Frame Lock: 12C27 Plain Edge Blade, Stainless Steel Handle, Reversible Pocket Clip, M16-04KS - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61xmHM2nazL.jpg) ![M16-04KS Folding Knife with Frame Lock: 12C27 Plain Edge Blade, Stainless Steel Handle, Reversible Pocket Clip, M16-04KS - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/617cfEfumkL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by P***N on February 8, 2019* ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by C***T on April 16, 2026* ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by A***I on July 8, 2024* ## Frequently Bought Together - CRKT M16-04KS Folding Pocket Knife: Sandvik Steel Blade with Stainless Steel Handle, Carson Flipper Opening, and Frame Lock - CRKT M21-04G EDC Folding Pocket Knife: Everyday Carry, Black Blade, Automated Liner Safety, G10 Handle, Reversible Pocket Clip - CRKT M16-03KS Folding Pocket Knife: Sandvik Steel Blade with Stainless Steel Handle, Carson Flipper Opening, and Frame Lock --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.gr/products/66714940-m16-04ks-folding-knife-with-frame-lock-12c27-plain-edge](https://www.desertcart.gr/products/66714940-m16-04ks-folding-knife-with-frame-lock-12c27-plain-edge) --- *Product available on Desertcart Greece* *Store origin: GR* *Last updated: 2026-05-05*
