The iconic M16® gets a modern upgrade. Battle tested and universally used—the iconic M16® family of knives comes from a long line of military-grade tools. The latest in a line of Carson Desert Tactical Folders developed for coalition forces in the Middle East, the M16®-14XD Tanto improves upon an already iconic design with an ambidextrous Crossbar Lock paired with IKBS™ ball-bearing pivot for seamless deployment and easy one-hand closing.
