DISCONTINUED CR-M16-12FDZ CRKT M16-12 Fire Department - Red Zytel Scales, Black Tanto Blade, Partially Serrated Edge
Designed for fire fighters and gloved hands, with textured Zytel® scales,
the Carson Flipper, and the AutoLAWKS™ safety.
The new M16 ® Fire Department Zytel® models are designed to meet the special requirements of those in fire fighting. For strength, we use our rigid InterFrame build with 42 0J2 stainless steel liners. Scales are injection-molded Fire Engine Red Zytel, which is a tough, strong composite of fiberglass and nylon designed to handle the worst abuse. The scales are textured for good grip in wet conditions.
1 * designs feature AUS 8 stainless steel blades, chosen for edge retention and durability. Black titanium nitride coating provides extreme corrosion resistance. Blade edges are Combined Razor-Sharp and Triple-Point™ Serrated to handle rugged cutting tasks that break down standard cutting edges.
All models feature the “Carson Flipper” extension to the blade, which aids
opening, especially when wearing gloves, and acts as an additional blade guard.
The M16®-14 FDZ Big Dogs are hefty, full-size working knives, with an extra-strong dual grind Tanto blade.
The M16®-13 FDZ features a spear point blade with a false top edge. It is a slim profile design that is ideal for a variety of carry positions.
The M16®-12 FDZ is a little bulldog, packing a lot of power in a compact package. The dual grind Tanto blade offers maximum strength.
One-hand opening and closing is velvet smooth, the result of Teflon® bearings
at the blade pivot. The ambidextrous thumb stud with checkered surface
provides instant access in any circumstance.
All models feature our patented* AutoLAWKS™, which automatically turns the folders into fixed blades when the blade is opened and locked.
Every model features a removable black Teflon-plated stainless steel clothing/ gear clip.
