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 a line of Carson Desert Tactical Folders developed for coalition forces in the Middle East, the M16®-14XD 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.
