Description

The M40® is based on one of Kit Carson’s relatively unknown custom designs, a sample of which was found in a private collection after his death. CRKT has combined Kit’s design with their Deadbolt® Locking Mechanism and created an elegant and very functional folder. The lock design employs two steel bolts that pass through the blade and steel linings for a vault-like lock. Unlocking is safely, and easily, achieved with a light press on the large button at the pivot.

The IKBS™ ball bearing pivot system ensures that these knives open quickly and smoothly. The blades are 1.4116 stainless at 55-57 Rc. with a fine beadblast finish. The handle scales are patterned reinforced nylon on stainless steel liners with gun metal gray matte finished aluminum “bolsters”. Have reversible clips for tip-up carry. Made in Taiwan.
