TheM16 12Z is a tough little bulldog, with a 3.00 dual grind Tanto style blade. It uses the very successful InterFrame construction, tough, textured glass filled nylon scales over a 420J2 stainless steel liner InterFrame. Columbia River overbuilt it for rigidity, using solid glass filled nylon back spacers. And they assemble the handle with superior offset Torx fasteners. The handle is exceptionally rigid and fills the hand perfectly. Columbia River uses their 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 edges. All models feature the Carson Flipper, which is not only an aid to opening the blade, especially when wearing gloves, but acts as a blade guard when the blade is open. They've also incorporated the patented AutoLAWKS automatic knife safety into all models, which converts the M16 Z series into virtual fixed blades when their blades are open and locked. All styles have lubrous washers and a removable stainless steel clothinggear clip. Think of the M16 Z as a Clydesdale ready to rush a knight into battle or pull a beer wagon. Every day. Day after day.
