The M16-01S: Tactical Reliability for Daily Use
Columbia River Knife & Tool's M16-01S represents a refined approach to everyday carry. Designed with input from Kit Carson, this folding knife bridges the gap between tactical functionality and practical daily utility.
Blade Performance
The heart of this knife is its 8Cr13MoV stainless steel blade, hardened to 58-59 HRC for a balance of edge retention and ease of maintenance. The spear point profile offers versatility—equally at home with fine detail work or general cutting tasks. A hollow grind and bead blast finish reduce glare while promoting corrosion resistance.

The stainless steel handle, finished in black oxide, provides a secure grip without unnecessary weight. The Carson flipper mechanism enables smooth, one-handed deployment while simultaneously serving as a blade guard—a thoughtful design detail that enhances both safety and functionality.
The frame lock mechanism delivers reliable blade security without complexity. At 2.6 ounces and 4 inches closed, the M16-01S fits naturally into a pocket or pack.
