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.

M16®-01S Spear Point

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.

M16®-02DB Deadbolt®

More Than a Knife, It’s a Threat Extinguisher. A large folding tactical knife with our manual safety innovation, it’s specifically designed for one reason: to say sayonara to any evil that comes your way in close quarter battle environments. The Otanashi noh Ken™ is designed by the venerable James Williams of Encinitas, CA. A veteran and martial arts practitioner/instructor, he knows cutlery—especially the tactical variety. In fact, his knife designs have quickly become mainstays within the military Special Forces and tactical Law Enforcement communities across the globe. So when SOCOM needed a larger, thinner, folding combat knife that was easy to carry and conceal, Williams answered the call.

Pry. Crack. Crank. Scrape. Wrench. Jesper Voxnaes knows that a smart daily carry doesn’t just include a knife. So he designed the Pryma™. This over-engineered multi-tool hangs inconspicuously on your keyring and comes up in a pinch with a range of tools. From bottle opener to glass breaker, it’ll pick up exactly where your pocket knife leaves off.

Designer Ray Kirk has put his spin on the concept of an emergency strap cutter with his new K.E.R.T.™ (Keyring Emergency Rescue Tool).

Work In the Front. All Comfort in the Back. The M21™ G10 series offers up unsurpassed cutting power featuring deep-bellied spear point blades in the front, and lightweight, insulating, tough G10 handles in the back. In the middle is you, happy, and ready to take on tasks. Legendary custom knifemaker Kit Carson designed the M21™ series. His knives have been a long-time staple of military forces worldwide and Kit wanted to create a premium knife that was everything you could ask for in a high quality work blade, but at a great price. He succeeded with a heavy-duty knife series that's tough enough for whatever life throws your way.

Looks can be deceiving. A situation that calls for self defense is, by nature, unexpected. The smartest are those who think ahead. That’s where the James Williams Defense Pen II comes into play. Disguised as a sophisticated writing instrument, its defense end carries a powerful punch. This is subtlety at its finest.

In the process of developing our line of Carson special forces G10 M16® models, it became apparent that there was a demand for these models from coalition forces serving in desert environments. These models have Desert Tan blade and scales.

M21™-14DSFG Spear Point

Here's one of those knives that is real tough to pass up, thanks to a solid "no nonsense" design. Need a new knife to call your "ol' reliable"? This straight forward folding knife is both fundamentally sound and physically fit for today's knife enthusiasts. We put the utility driven, drop-point blade shape into a progressively functional handle design complete with finger grooves and slight palm swell. Handles are G10 with blackened stainless steel liners.

Back and ready for action. Reimagined from the late Kit Carson’s fan-favorite M16®, this modern tactical folding knife packs three revolutionary innovations into a single design. Locked and loaded, the M16®-04DB combines Deadbolt®, Assisted Opening, and IKBS™ ball bearing pivot system, creating the ultimate everyday carry you’ll definitely want to have on your side. It might be a classic, but this knife is built to perform in the modern world.

M16®-04DB Deadbolt®

Forget the fine tip. The Razel™ /ray-zuhl/ GT boldly challenges the blade shape norm. While this everyday carry folder’s stubby profile is its defining quality, the Assisted Opening innovation deploys the blade at incredible speeds. An all-new take on tradition.
