Columbia River Knife

Listening carefully, we are proud to announce that the M16 series is the most popular collection ever produced by CRKT. Throughout the years, we have continued to honor the memory of the esteemed Kit Carson by introducing new variations of his original designs. However, this time, we are thrilled to present something truly special - the first fixed blade tactical M16 knife featuring Veff Serrations, opening up a world of new possibilities.

Designed by the late Kit Carson himself in his workshop located in Vine Grove, Kentucky, the M16-13FX pays tribute to his legacy as a master sergeant and his distinguished membership in the Cutlery Hall of Fame. This revolutionary fixed blade skillfully incorporates all the beloved features of Kit's tactical folders, while boasting a versatile tanto blade crafted from SK5 carbon steel with a black powder-coated finish for ultimate durability. The addition of Veff Serrations ensures effortless slicing through ropes and cords.

In contrast to folding knives, this fixed blade version offers greater resilience for more demanding tasks, while retaining the iconic handle design that is reinforced with grippy G10 material for optimal grip in any conditions. The accompanying glass-reinforced nylon sheath is versatile, equipped with holes for convenient attachment to racks, packs, belts, and more.

With the release of this new M16 model, we pay homage to a true legend in the most fitting way we know. Specifications for the M16-13FX include a 4.64" blade length, Veff Serrations for superior cutting power, a flat grind, an open length of 9.38", a weight of 4.6 oz, and a durable G10 handle. The fixed blade knife comes with a glass-reinforced nylon sheath for gear compatibility, representing a tough and versatile tool designed for various applications.

In conclusion, the M16-13FX not only embodies the legacy of Kit Carson but also showcases a high level of craftsmanship and innovation for everyday use around the home, garage, or workshop.
