When we considered offering Kit Carson's very popular aluminum M16® design in a more affordable build, we turned to our very successful InterFrame construction.
Instead of aluminum handles, we use tough, textured Zytel® scales over a 420J2 stainless steel liner inter-frame. We over-build it for rigidity, using a 6061 T6 hard anodized aluminum back spacer. And we assemble the handle with superior offset Torx® fasteners.
The handle is slightly heftier and wider than the M16, but it is exceptionally rigid. To some of us, it actually fills the hand better.
We use our tough AUS 4 high carbon stainless steel for the blades to give greater everyday utility, and offer both Razor-Sharp and Combined Razor-Sharp and Triple-Point™ Serrated cutting edges. All models feature the Carson Flipper, which is not only an aid to opening the blade, but acts as a positive blade guard.
