In police work, your knife is an important second line of defense. These three M16® models in black and blue dress are designed for performance and professional appearance with Special Response Teams in mind. They offer all the features of Kit Carson’s very popular aluminum-handled M16 series, plus a dark finish with low reflectance.

These M16 SRT models are identical in construction to the popular CRKT aluminum M16, offering the same sure-grip contoured handles of 6061 T6 aluminum, hard anodized in Law Enforcement Blue. The stainless steel locking liners with friction grooves are also black Teflon® plated, and give positive locking with limited access, for superior safety.

The blades are imprinted with Gary Paul Johnston’s 1* (one-ass-to-risk) reminder logo. All three models feature AUS 8 stainless steel blades, chosen for edge retention and durability. Black titanium nitride coating gives exceptional corrosion resistance. Combined Razor-Sharp and Triple-Point™ Serrated edges for rugged cutting tasks that break down standard cutting edges.

The SRT models also feature the Carson Flipper extension to the blade, which aids opening and acts as an additional blade guard.

The M16®-12LE is a little bulldog, packing a lot of power in a compact package. The dual grind Tanto blade offers maximum strength.

One-hand opening and closing is quick and smooth, the result of Teflon® bearings at the blade pivot. The ambidextrous thumb stud with checkered surface provides instant access in any circumstance.

Every model also features a removable black Teflon-plated stainless steel clothing/gear clip.
