The CRKT M16-01KZ keeps the proven M16 platform compact, simple, and easy to carry. Its 79.38mm (3.13 inch) spear point blade gives you a useful plain edge for controlled cutting tasks, with 8Cr13MoV steel and a black EDP finish for practical corrosion protection.

The handle is made from glass-reinforced nylon, which is a good fit for a folding knife that needs to stay light without feeling flimsy. At 65.20g (2.30oz), it sits comfortably in the pocket or kit without adding much bulk, and the 101.60mm (4.00 inch) closed length keeps it neat when packed away.

Security is a key part of this design. The liner lock holds the blade open during use, while CRKT's automated liner safety adds an extra layer of lock security. That matters when a knife is being opened, closed, and put back to work through the day.

A compact outdoor folding knife with clean handling, useful blade shape, and enough structure to feel dependable in regular utility use.
