Carson M16

[MThunter]

Does any one out there have one?? Would you like to tell me about it?? I am thinking about trying to get one and would like to know all about it from someone who has first hand knowledge of them,

Thanks,

If you're talking about Kit Carson, come to the blade forums chat room about 9:30 eastern any night and ask Kit about the knife.

I have two of Kit's Model 16's.

One is a small model (3.5 inch blade) with a stellite blade and all titanium construction.
(Except for a carbon fiber backspacer.)

The other is an all damascus "flipper" model (large) made of Daryl Meier 1095/L6 damascus.

These are great knives both esthetically and functionally. I carry the stellite model regularly as I live in a sub-tropical environment and the corrosion resistance comes in mighty handy.

Kit's knives are rock solid, and the fit and finish is, to use an overused analogy, worthy of a Swiss watchmaker.

Also, Kit gives great value for the price paid relative to other custom knives available out there.

There are other makers I admire, but none moreso than Kit.

For a look at the two knives I mentioned, take a peek at:

Thank you for that, Blues, I went ahead and put my name on the list with Kit, he was very nice and answered all my questions....he even let me change my mind about what I wanted ...several times!

Glad to be of help.

You won't be disappointed. Quite the contrary.
