Where minimal design meets maximum utility—just a little bit bigger. With a larger blade and a handsome stonewash finish, the Pilar® Large keeps the spirit of the bestselling original and the epic tale behind its name. It’s understated when tucked away, and carefully designed to punch above its weight when in use.

Provoke® Sheath

It’s back. But bigger. Years ago designer Lucas Burnley brought the iconic Squid™ to life. Skyrocketing in popularity as a fan-favorite compact carry, the folding knife became a top choice for those looking to strike the right balance of simplicity, performance, and functionality. Now, Lucas takes a new stab at reimagining this time-honored design, bringing us the larger SQUID™ XM. Still checking the box of being a versatile everyday carry, the longer blade length handles tasks both big and small—and is now recognized as a bit more “extra medium” in size.

For years, Kit Carson's M16® designs have been our most popular series. And our Z version has built the largest user base of all. The M16®-12Z uses our very successful InterFrame construction, tough, textured glass-reinforced nylon scales over a 420J2 stainless steel liner InterFrame. We overbuild it for rigidity, using solid glass-reinforced nylon back spacers. And we assemble the handle with superior offset Torx® fasteners. The handle is exceptionally rigid and fills the hand perfectly.

The M16® series comes from a long line of military grade tools. Now you can conquer civilian tasks with this proven knife design platform made simple, tough, and affordable.

Looking toward the future—with a nod to the past. Ed Van Hoy’s Snap Lock™ garnered global attention at the 2004 Blade Show, where it was crowned the Most Innovative Knife. Two decades in, the unique cam action and 180° swing of the blade still makes the Snap Lock™ as popular as ever. An all-black colorway and gold accents bring an attractive touch of modern style to the vintage-inspired folding knife. To open, simply press the front cam lever mechanism down with your thumb and rotate the blade outward until it fully extends and securely clicks into place. To close the knife, press down on the cam lever to disengage then swing the blade back into the closed position. Once the blade is in the closed position, no part of the edge is exposed and the knife is secure to carry.

Serve. Protect. The Provoke® morphing karambit knife draws on ancient design but it’s hiding a futuristic secret. The first knife ever to feature Kinematic® technology, it stays neatly tucked away in transit and comes to life when there’s trouble afoot.

Provoke® Aluminum

The standard folding knife that’s anything but. The Provoke® EDC takes the powerful Kinematic® technology from the original Provoke® karambit and applies it to a “standard” folding knife that’s flexible in more ways than one. For anyone who lusted after Kinematic® opening but didn’t need a karambit, now you can get the same innovative tech in a knife designed for everyday carry. The Provoke® EDC features a new plain-edge blade made from D2 steel for excellent edge retention and a lightweight aluminum handle that allows it to ride comfortably in a pocket.

A classic comeback. The popular M16® design by the late Kit Carson makes a comeback with the stainless steel series. Packing even more power and functionality than before, the three versions offer a range of blade size and construction—so you can choose which one serves you best. Keeping all the fan-favorite features from Kit’s line of tactical folders, then reimagined as an everyday carry, the M16®-02SS adds even more strength and performance to the mix. Built with a tanto, high-quality 12C27 blade for excellent edge retention, it’s topped with a bead blast finish to reduce any unwanted glare or reflection. Hailing from a true classic, the stainless steel M16®-02SS is a whole other caliber of comeback.

M16®-02SS Tanto

We have produced Kit Carson's popular M16® line in many variations over the past decade. Our glass filled nylon version has built the largest user base of all. These knives are built for function, not fad, and they are exceptional values. Our new M16 ZLEK line uses our very successful InterFrame construction, with tough, textured glass filled nylon scales over a 420J2 stainless steel liner InterFrame and solid glass filled nylon back spacers. We assemble the handle with superior offset Torx® fasteners.

M16®-14ZLEK Tanto

The Special Forces G10 models share a unique design offering a combination of Carson M16 Series features requested by military procurement specialists. The dual grind Tanto blades were specified because they offer maximum strength. The open build allows two Carson Flippers to be incorporated, resulting in a true hilt— very rare in folding knives.

M16®-14SF Tanto

The Drifter is an everyday carry folding pocket knife with durable stainless steel handle scales and a stainless steel drop point blade. The knife features an interframe build with stainless steel liners and a stainless steel pocket clip. It is available in both G10 and stainless steel handle versions. Never drift off course.
