Model M16-02S is one of it's own kind.  It is  more than just a re-issue based off the original design of one of CRKT's most popular everyday carry blades. It's a fitting tribute to its founder, Kit Carson, who passed away in the fall of 2014.  These tactically inspired knives are nique and ready to conquer your civilian tasks. They feature an AUS 8 stainless steel tanto blade that's tough, holds an edge well and is easier to sharpen in the field than tool steel. It looks great out of the box but even better in action. Kit was a winner of countless awards and was a staple of CRKT since their very beginning. These classic designs live on in tribute to his legacy and contribution to the knife community and the industry as a whole. If you want a knife that will be as timeless as the man who designed it, secure your very own M16-02S Classic.
