The Folding Knife M16(R)-12Z Tanto from CRKT is one of the most popular variants in the long-standing successful series Kit Carson’s M16(R). Its construction utilizes the proven InterFrame design, where tough textured nylon scales reinforced with glass fibers are placed over the 420J2 stainless steel liner blade.

This construction ensures that the knife is exceptionally tough, durable, and fits perfectly in hand.
