The CRKT M16-03XK Knife, designed by Kentucky knife maker and innovator Kit Carson, is the latest iteration of the ever popular M16 EDC that features a 3.57-inch spear point blade made of D2 tool steel, .12-inch thick, with a non reflective black EDP finish and dual thumb studs that lock up against the frame for superior strength against sideways torque. The black Grivory handle, 4.65-inches closed, has drilled holes to lessen weight, sturdy crossbar lock, and a side-to-side reversible steel pocket clip. The M16-03XK Knife has an overall open length of 8.25-inch, and it weighs 2.9 ounces.
