These knives share a unique design offering a combination of Carson Aluminum M16 Series features requested by a military procurement specialist. The combination edge blades were specified because they offer maximum strength. The 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. Two sizes are available. The SFs also feature the patented* Lake And Walker Knife Safety (LAWKS®), which effectively turns the folders into fixed blades when actuated. 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 without the disadvantage of a costly sheath carry system.

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: These knives are not designed for tip-up in-pocket carry. They are unique knives, designed by the military for special forces use.
