CRKT M16: the tactical knife chosen by professionals and enthusiasts

Its design inspired by military equipment, combined with innovative features and high-quality materials, makes every model in the M16 series a reliable companion for professionals, outdoor enthusiasts, collectors, and law enforcement personnel.

On this page, we will guide you through the entire CRKT M16 range available in our online catalog. We will explore the distinctive features of these knives, the different available variants, the technologies used, and the reasons why choosing an M16 means relying on one of the most tested tools on the market.

The legacy of Kit Carson: an icon in the world of tactical knives

Kit Carson, retired Master Sergeant of the U.S. Army, designed the CRKT M16 line drawing directly from the real needs of military personnel in the field. Each knife is created to offer functionality, speed, and reliability even in the most extreme conditions. The M16 was among the first knives to introduce features like the flipper for quick opening and the frame lock or liner lock with advanced safety systems.

This is not just a knife—it's a symbol. Thanks to its sleek profile, structural robustness, and excellent balance, the CRKT M16 series has become synonymous with tactical quality and functional engineering.

Materials and construction: a guarantee of durability and reliability

Every knife in the CRKT M16 line is made with materials chosen to ensure high performance and long-term durability. The blades, made of stainless steel (often 8Cr13MoV or AUS-8, depending on the model), offer excellent edge retention and good corrosion resistance. Surface treatments like black coating or stonewash further protect the blade and reduce glare—ideal in tactical scenarios.

As for the handle, CRKT offers versions with G10 handles, known for their lightness and moisture resistance, or in stainless steel for those seeking an even more solid and heavier structure. The latest versions also introduce textured inserts for an even firmer grip, even with gloves or in wet conditions.

CRKT technologies: safety and speed in every situation

One of the M16 series' strengths is the use of patented CRKT technologies that significantly enhance the user experience. The most well-known of these is the AutoLAWKS system (Automatic Lake and Walker Knife Safety), a mechanism that transforms a simple liner lock into a double-lock structure, preventing accidental closures and increasing safety during intensive use.

Another distinctive feature is the flipper, which allows quick and smooth one-handed opening. This system, combined with the ergonomic design of the handle, ensures rapid blade deployment in emergency situations.

CRKT M16 variants: find the right model for you

The CRKT M16 range is highly diversified to meet the needs of different users. Among the most popular versions, we find:

  • CRKT M16-10KZ: compact and lightweight, ideal for everyday carry (EDC).

  • CRKT M16-14ZSF: “desert” version with Zytel handle and combo blade (plain + serrated), highly appreciated by those working in dusty or sandy environments.

  • CRKT M16-03KS and M16-04KS: models with black finish and slim profile, perfect for those seeking a discreet but powerful tool.

  • CRKT M16-13SFG: equipped with a dual guard for increased finger protection, designed for tactical operations and military use.

Each model has its own unique features: blade length, edge type, handle materials, weight, and balance. Explore the full collection to choose the one that best fits your style and needs.

A knife for every use: EDC, tactical, professional

The CRKT M16 is an extremely versatile knife. The more compact versions can be used as everyday carry knives, offering a perfect balance between functionality and portability. The larger and more robust versions, on the other hand, are suitable for professional use: rescuers, military operators, survivalists, and bushcraft enthusiasts will find great value in the M16 series.

Thanks to its practicality and reversible clip system, the knife can be comfortably carried in a pocket, on a belt, or on a backpack—always ready to use. Its excellent weight-to-strength ratio makes it a valuable ally even in extreme outdoor scenarios.

Distinctive design: between aesthetics and functionality

In addition to performance, CRKT M16 knives stand out for their aggressive yet highly functional design. The blade profiles, often spear-point or tanto style, convey power and precision. The handle, ergonomic and aerodynamic, ensures a firm grip without tiring the hand, even during prolonged use.

Attention to detail is evident: every screw, every texture, every curve is designed to optimize grip and efficiency. It's not just a tool but a piece of technical design.
