CRKT M16-14ZLEK tactical folding knife Tanto Blackout, 9.5 cm, Zytel

The tactical and rescue knife CRKT M16-14ZLEK with a Tanto blade and partial serrations delivers reliable performance in demanding situations. Thanks to the AutoLAWKS system, Carson Flipper opening, and a robust Zytel handle, it is ready for everyday carry and emergency response. It features a seatbelt cutter, carbide glass breaker, and a pocket clip for quick access.

Fast and secure Carson Flipper opening

One-handed opening with the Carson Flipper is lightning-fast and reliable. It also serves as a finger guard during use.

Rescue features always at hand

The integrated safety belt cutter and carbide glass breaker handle emergencies in seconds.

Secure carry with pocket clip

The sturdy metal clip enables discreet and stable attachment to a pocket or belt for immediate access.

The CRKT M16-14ZLEK is an iconic tactical folding pocket knife designed for confidence and rapid action. The AUS-8 stainless steel blade with a black non-reflective finish and Tanto geometry delivers precise cuts and demanding pierces through tough materials. Partial serrations easily slice through rope, straps, and other fibrous materials.

Deployment is handled by the reliable Carson Flipper, which also functions as a finger guard. Lockup is provided by a Liner Lock complemented by AutoLAWKS—a secondary safety system that turns the liner lock into an almost fixed-blade-like construction. The lightweight Zytel handle with anti-slip texture ensures a secure grip, while the carbide glass breaker and integrated seatbelt cutter make the knife an ideal emergency tool.

For everyday carry, the knife includes a pocket clip and ambidextrous features for fast one-handed opening. The black “blackout” finish minimizes glare and adds a professional look.
