## Overview

The CRKT M16-14ZLEK is a robust folding knife featuring a 3.75-inch AUS 8 stainless steel Tanto blade with razor-sharp triple-point serrations. Designed by Kit Carson, it boasts an automated liner lock safety system, a glass-reinforced nylon handle for lightweight durability, and a reversible four-position pocket clip for ambidextrous carry. Equipped with a seat belt cutter and tungsten carbide glass breaker, this tactical black-coated knife is engineered for professional everyday carry and emergency readiness.

## Description

We have produced Kit Carson's popular M16 line in many variations over the past decade. Our glass filled nylon version has built the largest user base of all. These knives are built for function, not fad, and they are exceptional values. Our new M16 ZLEK line uses our very successful InterFrame construction, with tough, textured glass filled nylon scales over a 420J2 stainless steel liner InterFrame and solid glass filled nylon back spacers. We assemble the handle with superior offset Torx fasteners. For professional use, we've added a seat belt cutter to the Carson Flipper, and a tungsten carbide window breaker at the butt. Automobile side windows shatter with one quick whack from the butt of the knife. All components receive a tough tactical black coating. The Flipper can be pressed for fast one-hand opening, and creates a blade guard when open. We use our premium AUS 8 high-carbon stainless steel for the blades, which have Combined Razor-Sharp and Triple-Point Serrated edges to easily cut rope, cord, canvas, and vegetation. All three models are fitted with our automated liner safety. Automated liner safety is the locking liner safety innovation taken to the next level. The automated liner safety sets a pin between the locking liner and the frame. This pin acts as an additional layer of safety, so the locking liner is less likely to disengage during use. To close the knife, pull the red buttoned safety lever back, slide the locking liner over, and fold the blade into the closed position. M16-14ZLEK. The "Big Dog" M16 is a hefty 6.2-ounce knife with a 3.75"- long Tanto blade that is able to tackle any emergency task. This larger model features a four-position clip, allowing carry on belts or webbing— tip up, tip down, left or right. Please note: These knives are not designed for tip-up in pocket carry. Full professional features. Non-reflective black finish. Exceptional affordability.

My wife encouraged me to buy. This knife meets all 11 criteria I demanded in a knife: God is good. No I don't work for CRKT. This knife scores 11 stars out of 11 stars. Brilliant designed and God breathed. I considered buying the newer style colors, however they don't appear identical in make so I reordered the tan-nylon. This knife is worth triple what they're charging. The only con I had with my first knife was user-error-poor-basic-wipe-off-maintenance leading to rust developing inside the aesthetic-circles and minimal rust on the blade which had zero effect on the sharpness and zero effect on how smooth the blade opens. I'll make sure not to leave my second knife in water, which only affected the looks not the use. These pictures are the knife newly out the box and shows the pocket-clip mounted in the "tip-down" position. I usually EDC this knife with the pocket-clip in the "tip-up" position but will experiment with it as it before remounting the clip. Instructions discourage carrying in the tip-up position for hilt-deployment but I have never once had anything close to an issue. This is the best knife on the market for 11 reasons.
Review: Absolutely a great knife. Only slippery scales/handle - Definitely a great knife. Looks great. Sturdy and great design. Very fidgety and has impressive safety feature that prevent knife from closing once is open. It has potential for modifications and improvements. Can be opened in many ways. The only drawback is these scales handle on this model are so smooth one can drop the knife or fail to quickly pull it off the pocket in an emergency. The only thing I would change would be the scales. But I think there are no optional scales available. Not sure about that. But definitely my favorite knife so far

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 101st ABN Approved
*by B***E on July 31, 2018*

This is my 3rd one of these. I bought my first one at a Ranger Joe's outside of Ft. Banning, GA after infantry school for $130 in 2008 (price has dropped since then). Fell in love with the large blade and aggressive serration immediately. I broke the first one trying to use it as a pry bar to fix a 240b machine gun jam in Afghanistan in 2010 (my fault). Ordered another one immediately and had it on almost every continent in the world until I lost it rafting in the Adirondack mountains this past weekend. This knife is by far one of the most rugged, badass blades I have ever come across. I read the other 2 or 3 star reviews on this knife and was disgusted. "Chips in the serrations after one cut through a rope" and complaints about "opening in the pocket" are not part of my experience. I've used this knife to cut through everything from MRE's to boxes, electrical wire, rope, aluminum cans, and other things that typically destroy an edge. Ive also gotten pretty good at throwing the damn thing after carrying it for the past decade. It's not a thrower but it held up fine. Try throwing a benchmade at a telephone poll a few times and let me know how that goes. This knife is a utility blade and not a bedside "fidget spinner" as it was called or a pocket ornament. Sure, it's picked up a few nicks and scratches along the way but I've always been able to clean the blade up with the right stone. The simplicity of the mechanism is another pro to this blade. Throw some 'lock tite' on the 3 pocket clip screws because they will come loose with daily use. Now that this blade is significantly cheaper, I'm tempted to buy half a dozen just so I don't have to spend another day without one. I will make sure that one of these blades is lowered into the ground with me when I depart. I'd hate to come across a stubborn piece of frozen cheesecake or some demon that needs a good slashin' without my trusty CRKT M16-14SFG.
