A classic design meets modern ingenuity with the CRKT M16-03DB Folder. Inspired by renowned knife designer Kit Carson's iconic M16, this knife takes performance to the next level with three revolutionary innovations: Deadbolt, Assisted Opening, and IKBS ball bearing pivot system.

Pairing seamlessly with Deadbolt, the lightning-fast Assisted Opening feature, created by Ken Onion, provides swift and smooth deployment. Whether you need to make a quick cut or spring into action, this knife is always ready.
The IKBS ball bearing pivot system, also designed by Flavio Ikoma, further enhances the knife's performance by ensuring a buttery-smooth opening and closing action. No more struggling or fumbling with your knife. This technology makes it effortless to handle.
Crafted for versatility, strength, and endurance, the CRKT M16-03DB Folder boasts a lightweight aluminum handle that provides exceptional grip and durability. It's designed to withstand everyday challenges, making it an ideal choice for those who demand reliability in their everyday carry.
With a sleek black blade and handle color, this knife exudes a stylish and modern aesthetic. It's not just a tool, but a statement piece that you'll be proud to have by your side.
Measuring 8.25 inches in total length and weighing just 4.0 ounces, the CRKT M16-03DB Folder is perfectly compact and lightweight for comfortable everyday carry. It conveniently folds to a closed length of 4.65 inches, allowing it to be easily and securely stored in your pocket or bag.
