Columbia River Knife and Tool: CRKT Desert Special Forces Knife, CR-M1614ZSF
The CRKT Desert Tactical Folders were designed by Kit Carson. They are special Desert Operator's versions of some of his M16 designs-made to blend and almost disappear in the desert environment. The illustrated Desert Tactical Folder is the Desert Special Forces M16 knife. It features a 3.99" part serrated tanto blade made of AUS8 stainless steel, .14" thick, with a Rockwell hardness of 55-57. The blade has a non-reflective bead blast finish, dual checkered thumb studs, and dual Carson Flippers for ambidextrous one hand opening. The dual Carson Flippers form a true hilt when the blade is deployed, which is very rare in a folding knife. The handle, 5.25" closed, has InterFrame construction, with dual 420J2 stainless steel liners, liner lock, AutoLAWKS (Lake and Walker Knife Safety), and threaded stainless steel back spacers. The contoured handle is drilled to lessen weight, with Desert Camo pattern Zytel scales, and side to side-end to end reversible stainless steel gear clip.
Please note that the M16 Special Forces series is not designed for tip up in pocket carry. The Desert Special Forces M16 knife weighs 6.2 ounces.
