While we were at the task of scaling down and refining the designs, we also decided to offer models with both Black and British Racing Green handles, and with non-reflective black titanium nitride coated blades.

We took the opportunity to incorporate our patented* AutoLAWKS™ automatic safety, an advanced version of the Lake And Walker Knife Safety, into all M16 EDC models, which automatically converts them into virtual fixed blades when opened.

We have made the contoured handles long enough for real work tasks. They are still 6061 T6 hard anodized aluminum, CNC machined with a perimeter radius for comfort. A stainless steel locking liner with friction grooves gives positive locking.

As in the larger models, premium AUS 8 stainless steel was chosen for blade steel, for its edge retention and durability.

All models feature the “Carson Flipper” extension to the blade, which aids opening and acts as an additional blade guard.

One-hand opening and closing is as velvet smooth as the larger M16 models, the result of Teflon® bearings at the blade pivot. The ambidextrous thumb studs with checkered surface provide instant access in any circumstance.

All models feature a removable black Teflon-plated stainless steel clothing/gear clip.
