It’s a true tribute to one of the greats.The late Kit Carson designed this and many of his other groundbreaking knives in his shop in Vine Grove, Kentucky. Kit’s lasting legacy comes from his influence on the knife industry—he’s known for popularizing the flipper which is now a household component. Beyond that, he’s also remembered for his esteemed ranking as a Master Sergeant and his high-profile membership in the Cutlery Hall of Fame. The M16-04KS keeps all we love of Kit’s original tactically-inspired everyday carry folding knife and adds a substantial tanto blade complete with a durable black oxide finish.

I've got SpyderCos, Buck, Cold Steel, Gerber, a Benchmade, Kershaws, etc. The CRKT M16 comes in many varieties, and usually equipped with a liner lock. Many different types of handle, blade shape, length, etc. This version was the 3.85" tanto blade with a framelock. I like framelocks & CRKT so I bought this basically just to show support for their decision to try an M16 with a framelock. Very solid in stainless steel. The flipper action is very good, especially for a $50 knife. The lockup "feels" more secure than a liner lock simply due to my understanding of how these locks work; the width of the frame is always thicker (and sturdier) than a liner. This knife would theoretically handle more punishment due to its locking mechanism. Tanto blades aren't the best for repeated deep cuts & slices due to the lack of a belly or curve in the blade, but they're tough & the best for thrusts and stabs. This makes a good tactical option, carried for self defense purposes. The steel holds an edge well & I sharpen it with a Lanksey 2D2C rod box. The price makes this a viable option for my EDC, because if I were to break/lose it I wouldn't be as enraged as if I break a Benchmade or a ZT. Some knives cost so much they end up sitting in our homes, safe & sound. Despite the good price I have a large amount of experience & confidence in CRKT, so I place my life in their hands quite often. I carry this knife more often than my $160 SpyderCo PM2 simply because it's big, solid, strong, and priced more fairly. If you have a Rolls Royce, a Bentley, a Ferrari, and then you also have a Charger or a Camery, you may find yourself more comfortable doing your daily tasks in the less expensive options. I have better looking knives, stronger locks (Triad or Ball Bearing for an example), etc but the point is I very rarely need a $200 tool with an 800lb lock. This lock will work excellently & flawlessly for cutting cardboard or defending myself against another human. I have zero reservations recommending it for a tactical EDC option, and that's what it's designed for. It's a Framelock? A Tanto blade? Then it's meant to withstand stabbing actions with no lock failure. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It’s not made in the USA *by C***E on June 24, 2026* Simple, rugged, all metal construction, slim. While it’s not made in the good old US of A, This is a great knife for everyday use. Great blade for cutting open boxes for which to place the bunny back into. I will report back momentarily. I’ve got a plane to catch. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent *by R***D on July 15, 2026* CRKT makes excellent products and this knife is no exception. It’s high quality, precision built is outstanding. This design has been one of my favorites for years. I love it. ## Frequently Bought Together - CRKT M16-04KS Folding Pocket Knife: Sandvik Steel Blade with Stainless Steel Handle, Carson Flipper Opening, and Frame Lock - CRKT M21-04G EDC Folding Pocket Knife: Everyday Carry, Black Blade, Automated Liner Safety, G10 Handle, Reversible Pocket Clip - CRKT M16-03KS Folding Pocket Knife: Sandvik Steel Blade with Stainless Steel Handle, Carson Flipper Opening, and Frame Lock --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.dk/products/66714940-m16-04ks-outdoor-folding-knife-with-frame-lock-black-m16](https://www.desertcart.dk/products/66714940-m16-04ks-outdoor-folding-knife-with-frame-lock-black-m16) --- *Product available on Desertcart Denmark* *Store origin: DK* *Last updated: 2026-09-27*
