CRKT M16 Special Forces

The SFs also feature the patented* Lake And Walker Knife Safety (LAWKS®), which effectively turns the folders into fixed blades when actuated.

The result is a design that gets blasé knife enthusiasts suddenly excited. When open, with LAWKS actuated, it offers the strength, rigidity and safety of a hilted fixed blade. Release the LAWKS lever, release the locking liner, and it folds to an easily carried length. You have the advantages of a fixed blade with--out the disadvantage of a costly sheath carry system. Two sizes are available.

M16-13SF Slim Profile. This model features a 3.50” (8.9 cm) blade and weighs only 3.5 oz. (99 g). It is ideal when weight and bulk must be kept to a minimum.

M16-14SF Big Dog. This is our hefty utility version, with a 3.875” (9.8 cm) blade and full size handle with butt pommel which is exceptionally useful in tactical situations. Weight is kept to 5.4 oz. (153 g).

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 Lubrous washers. The ambidextrous thumb stud with checkered surface provides instant access in any circumstance. Each knife comes with two stainless steel Black corrosion-resistant coating clothing/gear clips, extra screws and a Torx® tool, allowing four position carry on belts or webbing— tip up, tip down, left or right.
