CRKT M16 Special Forces with Aluminum Handles
Item #: CL-M1614SF
$99.95
Special knives from CRKT for professional use. Designed with military special forces in mind, the M16-SFs are "folding fixed blades" with a true hilt.
These knives share a unique design, offering a combination of M16 Aluminum Series features requested by a military procurement specialist. The dual grind Tanto-style combination edge blades were specified because they offer maximum strength. The M16 open build allows two Carson Flippers to be incorporated, resulting in a true hilt--very rare in folding knives. Blade, frame and hardware are all non-reflective black.
The SF also feature the exclusive patented AutoLAWKS™ safety, which automatically turns the folder into a fixed blade when the blade is opened and locked.
The CRKT production aluminum frame SFs are based on Kit Carson's custom M16 design. They feature contoured handles of textured, black, hard anodized 6061 T6 aluminum, with a perimeter radius for a comfortable grip with or without gloves. Stainless steel locking liners with friction grooves, for positive locking. AUS-8 stainless steel blades, chosen for edge retention and durability, with non-reflective black titanium nitride coating for maximum corrosion resistance. Combined Razor-Sharp and Triple-Point Serrated edges for rugged cutting tasks.
One-hand opening and closing is quick and smooth, the result of precision tolerances and Teflon® bearings. The ambidextrous thumb stud with checkered surface provides instant access in any circumstance. Each knife comes with two stainless steel black Teflon-plated clothing/gear clips, extra screws and a Torx® tool, allowing four position carry on belts or webbing--tip up, tip down, left or right. (Caution: the M16-SF series is not designed for in-pocket carry.)
This is the hefty utility version, with a 3.94" (10.0 cm) blade and full size handle with butt pommel which is exceptionally useful in tactical situations. Weight is kept to 5.6 oz. (159 g). Suggested retail $135.00.
