M16-14ZSF - Tanto - Designed by Kit Carson for CRKT®
"developed specifically to blend into the desert environment"
The service men and women of the coalition forces in the Middle East and Afghanistan require cutting tools that can stand up to the harsh demands of the desert. CRKT®’s Carson Desert Tactical Folders have been developed specifically to blend into the desert environment.
The M16®-14ZSF model features CRKT’s super rigid InterFrame build with 420J2 stainless steel liners, threaded stainless steel back spacers, and Desert Camo pattern glass filled nylon scales. The blade is a non-reflective bead-blast finished AUS 8 stainless steel. It blends and almost disappears in the desert.
CRKT®’s tactical M16®-14ZSF model features two Carson Flippers, resulting in a true hilt when the blade is opened. CRKT®’s Big Dog glass filled nylon version has a 3.875" (98 mm) blade and full-size handle with a pommel which is exceptionally powerful in tactical situations. Weight is a hefty 6.3 oz. (179 g).
Plus the M16®-14ZSF features CRKT®’s exclusive patented AutoLAWKS™ safety, which automatically turns the folder into a fixed blade when the blade is opened and locked.
One-hand opening and closing is quick and smooth, the result of precision tolerances and lubrous washers at the blade pivot. The dual ambidextrous thumb studs with checkered surfaces provide instant access in any circumstance.
The blade has Combined Razor-Sharp and Triple-Point™ Serrated edges.
