They have produced Kit Carson's popular M16® line in many variations over the past decade. Our glass filled nylon version has built the largest user base of all. These knives are built for function, not fad, and they are exceptional values. Their new M16 ZLEK line uses our very successful InterFrame construction, with tough, textured glass filled nylon scales over a 420J2 stainless steel liner InterFrame and solid glass filled nylon back spacers. We assemble the handle with superior offset Torx® fasteners. For professional use, we've added a seat belt cutter to the Carson Flipper, and a tungsten carbide window breaker at the butt. Automobile side windows shatter with one quick whack from the butt of the knife. All components receive a tough tactical black coating. The Flipper can be pressed for fast one-hand opening, and creates a blade guard when open. They use their premium AUS 8 high-carbon stainless steel for the blades, which have Combined Razor-Sharp and Triple-Point™ Serrated edges to easily cut rope, cord, canvas, and vegetation. All three models are fitted with our automated liner safety. Automated liner safety is the locking liner safety innovation taken to the next level. The automated liner safety sets a pin between the locking liner and the frame. This pin acts as an additional layer of safety, so the locking liner is less likely to disengage during use. To close the knife, pull the red buttoned safety lever back, slide the locking liner over, and fold the blade into the closed position. Want one of the most secure safety systems on the market? The choice is automatic. M16®-12ZLEK. This is our smaller Tanto-blade version. The very strong blade grind makes a compact and versatile rescue folder. A black stainless steel two-position pocket/gear clip is included. Full professional features. Non-reflective black finish. Exceptional affordability. Kit Carson rides again.

Warranty

RKT LIMITED LIFETIME KNIFE WARRANTY This warranty covers any defects in materials or workmanship. If one of CRKT knives ever breaks or fails because of material or manufacturing defect, the brand will repair or replace the knife.

This warranty runs as long as you own your knife. Coverage ends if you sell or otherwise transfer the knife to someone else, or if your CRKT knife is modified in any way.

This warranty does not cover breakage or failure due to misuse of the knife. Knives as good as CRKT ones rarely break or fail because of a defect. Usually they break or fail from what CRKT calls “tool abuse”—using them for unsuitable tasks like prying or pounding. Therefore, blade tip breakage is not covered by the CRKT warranty. Use of a knife for any purpose other than cutting voids the warranty. (The exceptions to this caution are the A.B.C. Aqua and MAK-1 Multiple Access Knife which have tips designed specifically for prying.) So please match the tool to the task, and use your knife only for cutting. The knife will last longer, and you’ll be safer too. This warranty does not cover failure of mechanisms due to your failure to properly maintain them. Also, consequential and incidental damages are not recoverable under this warranty. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of consequential damages, so this exclusion or limitation may not apply to you. Misuse of your knife can cause serious injury or even death. It can also cause your knife to break or fail and the CRKT limited lifetime warranty will not apply. Failure to properly maintain your knife also may cause its mechanisms to not function properly, which could result in injury to you or damage to the knife. Follow the do's and don’ts which are included in your CRKT knife package and the knife will last longer, and you’ll be safer too.

Automatic Warranty Information CRKT knives and tools have a limited lifetime warranty against manufacturer defects. If your automatic knife qualifies for warranty, you must return it to the place you bought the knife.

Automatic Knife Operating Instructions To Open: Slide the safety lever* back to make sure it’s disengaged and grip the knife securely. Push the activation button with your thumb – the blade will open and lock into position. For additional security, move the safety lever* forward. To Close: Pull back on the safety lever* (if engaged) and push the activation button to release the blade from the opened and locked position. Close the blade until it is secure in the handles. Slide the safety lever forward to securely lock the blade in the closed position. To Change Clip Position: Use a T6 Torx wrench to remove the clip screws. Apply Blue Loc-Tite and reinstall clip screws in desired location.

Automatic Knife Maintenance Instructions Lubrication: At CRKT, they lubricate the pivot with Sentry Solutions Hi-Slip Grease which will last a long time. If the knife action slows, try a small amount of Break-Free or a similar lubricant in the pivot area. Pivot Adjustment/Frame Screws: The pivot is secured with Red Loc-Tite. Do not attempt to adjust the pivot. If the pivot screw becomes loose, new Red Loc-Tite must be applied. Do not attempt to adjust the frame screws; adjusting the frame screws breaks the Loc-Tite seal. Blade: The blade steel is high carbon CPM154 and the exposed edge will rust if not properly maintained. Carefully apply a light coating of 3-in-1 oil to the cutting edge periodically. Sharpening: CPM154 is a very hard, high-performance steel, and sharpening can be a challenge. CRKT recommends taking your knife to a professional for sharpening.

The CRKT Accessory Warranty CRKT accessories, including deployment systems, carry systems, and sharpeners, have a one-year limited warranty against defects in material or manufacturing. The CRKT LED Light Warranty On those CRKT products which contain an LED flashlight, the light mechanism has a 90-day limited warranty to the original purchaser against defects in material or manufacturing. Proof of purchase may be required for warranty claims.

Missing Parts If you are missing parts such as a screw or clip, CRKT provides replacement parts for most of its models.
