After the incredible success of Kit Carson’s original aluminum M16® Series, we began to get comments like this, “I love my M16 Big Dog, but I wish I had a bit more compact size that I could carry every day, both on the job and at leisure.” These requests reached the point that we could not ignore them, so here they are: the M16® EDC (Every Day Carry).

While we were at the task of scaling down and refining the designs, we also decided to offer models with both Black and British Racing Green handles, and with non-reflective black titanium nitride coated blades.

We took the opportunity to incorporate our new patented* AutoLAWKS®, an advanced version of the Lake And Walker Knife Safety, into all M16 EDC models, which automatically converts them into virtual fixed blades when opened.
