For years, Kit Carson's M16® designs have been our most popular series. And our Z version has built the largest user base of all. These knives are built for function, not fad. And they are exceptional values. The hefty M16®-14Z Big Dogs with a tanto-style blade is suited to large hands and heavy-duty tasks. We use our tough AUS 8 high-carbon stainless steel, Triple-Point™ Serrated edges, and a Carson Flipper to give greater everyday utility.
