CRKT M16-02SS Folding knife

Everyday carry folder crafted by Kit Carson. Outfitted with a blade featuring a Tanto profile, shaped by a flat grind that guarantees superior cutting performance. The plain edge blade is enhanced with a Bead Blast finish. Fabricated from Sandvik 12C27 stainless steel, ensuring outstanding resistance to wear and corrosion. The steel handle includes a non-slip texture, delivering a secure and reliable grip. Rapid deployment is enabled via a flipper and thumb stud, while a Frame Lock mechanism provides dependable operational safety.

Sandvik 12C27 stainless steel

Crafted from advanced Sandvik 12C27 stainless steel, a material engineered by the renowned Swedish manufacturer Sandvik, the blade is known for outstanding performance characteristics. Boasting high hardness, it also delivers impressive corrosion resistance and excellent edge retention. With proper heat treatment, the steel achieves a hardness of 53-59 HRC, ensuring an ideal combination of sharpness, durability, and resistance to wear.

Tanto profile blade with bead blast finish

Equipped with a Tanto blade profile, the knife features a blade length of 78 mm and a thickness of 2.9 mm. A smooth cutting edge is created by the flat grind. The blade surface receives a Bead Blast finish, resulting in a matte, consistent texture that enhances concealment and improves resistance to light abrasions during field use.

steel handle and clip

Steel handle with cutouts features a specially engineered design that ensures both a lightweight feel and a secure grip. Easy portability is provided by a steel clip (tip-up/r), which allows the knife to be securely fastened to a belt, the edge of a pocket, or other gear.

12C27 feature
12C27
12C27 is a high-quality Swedish stainless steel developed by Sandvik (now Alleima), similar in chemical composition and mechanical properties to 440A steel. It has a very fine-grained structure, which improves its cutting properties and durability. The carbon content (0.52%) ensures adequate hardness, while chromium (14.5%) guarantees very good corrosion and abrasion resistance. The steel also contains manganese (0.6%), silicon (0.4%), phosphorus (up to 0.025%), and sulfur (up to 0.025%), which improves hardenability, strength, and structural stability while minimizing the risk of microcracks and brittleness. After heat treatment, the steel achieves a hardness of 53-59 HRC, offering good impact resistance and ease of sharpening. The steel is widely used in EDC, kitchen, hunting, and outdoor knives. It is characterized by high corrosion resistance, good edge retention, and ease of maintenance, making it a popular choice, especially among Scandinavian manufacturers and companies such as Kershaw.
Bead Blast feature
Bead Blast
Bead Blast is a blade finishing technique that involves treating steel with a stream of fine ceramic or glass beads under high pressure. It gives the surface a uniform matte, satin-gray appearance without any light reflections. The surface obtained in the sandblasting process is smooth and aesthetic, but due to micro-pores, it may be slightly more susceptible to wear and corrosion if the blade is not properly protected. Nevertheless, Bead Blast is valued for its simplicity, discretion, and masking properties, which is why it is used in EDC, outdoor, and military knives.
