| M16 Zytel
The Kit Carson designed M16 series continues
to be one of the most popular models in the Columbia River Knife & Tool
product line. The M16 Zytel was designed to offer a more affordable
version of the aluminum M16 model. The M16 Zytel features textured Zytel
scales and a dual 420J2 stainless steel liner InterFrame that is
assembled with Zytel back spacers The blades are AUS 4 high-carbon
stainless steel which gives an ideal combination of toughness and
edge-holding ability in a work knife, and also allows easy
field-sharpening. The handle is slightly heftier and wider than the
aluminum build M16, but it is exceptionally rigid. The M16®-02Z
and 12Z are tough little bulldogs, with dual grind
Tanto-style blades. All models feature the Carson Flipper, which speeds
opening of the blade and acts as a blade guard when the blade is open.
