Description
Zytel is a fiberglass-filled nylon that offers excellent toughness and resistance to solvents. Teflon® bearings at the blade pivot and an adjustable pivot screw allow for perfect blade action. The blade is 8CR15MoV high-carbon stainless steel which gives an ideal combination of toughness and edge-holding ability in a work knife, and also allows easy field-sharpening. Standard models have a bead-blast finish. The M16®-01Z uses our popular spear point slim profile blade with a Razor-Sharp edge. It is ideal for fine cutting and carving tasks. Of course, it features the Carson Flipper, which speeds opening of the blade and acts as a blade guard when the blade is open. The real breakthrough was our ability to engineer our patented* AutoLAWKS™ knife safety into all models, which automatically actuates when the blades are open, making these folders into virtual fixed blades when locked. Add to these features the standard removable Teflon®-plated stainless steel clothing/gear clip plus the CRKT limited lifetime warranty, and you have one of the truly great knife values of our time. *U.S. Patent Nos. 5,596,808 and 7,437,822 Dimensions Open Overall Length 7.125 inches Closed Length 4 inches Weight 2.3 ounces Blade Length 3 inches Thickness 0.08 inches Material 8Cr15MoV Blade-HRC 58-59 Finish Bead-Blast Grind Hollow Style Spear Point Edge Plain Handle Material Zytel Liner 2CR13 Lock Type Locking Liner Safety System AutoLAWKS Carry Carry System 1 Position Clip Features Flipper Yes
