In police work, your knife is an important second line of defense. These three M16s® 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.
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 M16®-12LE is a little bulldog, packing a lot of power in a compact package. The dual grind Tanto blade offers maximum strength.
