CRKT M16 Titanium Big Dog, 3.94 in, ComboEdge

Kit Carson, designer of the M16® Series, became famous for his custom titanium frame M16s. One-hand opening and closing is velvet smooth, the result of precision tolerances and Teflon bearings. The ambidextrous thumb stud with checkered surface provides instant access in any circumstance. Features a removable stainless steel clothing/gear clip and the patented Lake And Walker Knife Safety (LAWKS), which effectively turns the folder into a fixed blade when actuated (U.S. Pat. No. 5,596,808). The LAWKS mechanism positively blocks the knife's liner lock from being accidentally released, regardless of how the locking liner may be pressed. The handles, which form the open-build frame, are CNC machined from 6AL4V titanium. The result is a better strength-to-weight ratio than steel or aluminum, and an almost indestructible frame. The titanium frame is minimally ceramic bead-blast finished to enhance grip.
