A classic is reborn.

How do you take an already widely-celebrated knife and make it thrice as good?

By taking the legendary M16® design imagined by one of the most notable knifemakers in history, then adding three groundbreaking innovations: Deadbolt®, Assisted Opening, and IKBS™ ball bearing pivot system.

Returning with a compact tanto blade, the M16®-02DB doesn’t just come locked and loaded, its deployment is now faster than ever. Years ago, knife designer Kit Carson gave us a timeless classic. Now, it’s back with a whole new legacy to fulfill.

• Strong And Simple - Deadbolt® lock provides incredible strength and it's easy to use
• Assisted Opening - Flipper deploys the blade fast
• Smooth Opening - IKBS™ ball bearing pivot deploys the blade smooth
• Superior Performance - D2 blade steel for excellent edge retention
• Strong and Lightweight - Aluminum handle combines strength with minimal weight
• Low Profile - Pocket clip provides secure carry
