## Overview

The CRKT M16-14DSFG is a 3.95-inch folding knife featuring a titanium nitride coated 1.4116 stainless steel Tanto blade with patented Veff Serrations for superior cutting.

Lightweight yet robust, this knife combines tactical innovation with everyday carry versatility, backed by a limited lifetime warranty.

## Description

Product Description In the process of developing our line of Carson special forces G10 M16 models, it became apparent that there was a demand for these models from coalition forces serving in desert environments. These models have Desert Tan blade and scales. The M16-14DSFG Big Dog G10 is our hefty utility version, with a 3.875" (98 mm) dual grind Tanto blade and full-size handle with butt pommel. It weighs 5.9 oz. (167 g). Just like its black tactical counterpart, this knife shares a unique design offering a combination of Carson SF series features requested by military procurement specialists. It has a combined Razor-Sharp and patented (1) Veff Serrated edge. The open build allows two Carson Flippers to be incorporated, resulting in a true hilt— up to now rare in folding knives. Blade and scales are non-reflective Desert Tan. The premium 8Cr14MoV stainless steel blade receives a titanium nitride coating for maximum corrosion resistance. Kit's trademark dual checkered thumb studs are standard. One-hand opening and closing is quick and smooth. The open InterFrame build uses Desert Tan scales of G10, and stainless steel liners with friction grooves. G10 is often preferred for its aggressive gripping texture, light weight, and the insulating properties which make it cooler in heat and warmer in cold than metal. It also features our automated liner safety. Automated liner safety is the locking liner safety innovation taken to the next level. The automated liner safety sets a pin between the locking liner and the frame. This pin acts as an additional layer of safety, so the locking liner is less likely to disengage during use. To close the knife, pull the red buttoned safety lever back, slide the locking liner over, and fold the blade into the closed position. Want one of the most secure safety systems on the market? The choice is automatic.All knives in this series are equipped with clip options that allow four-position carry on belts or webbing— tip up, tip down, left or right. (Caution: These knives are not designed for tip-up in-pocket carry.) They are special knives, designed by the military for special forces desert use.Specifications:Blade Length: 3.95" (100.41 mm)Edge: Veff Serrations™Steel: 1.4116Blade Finish: Titanium NitrideBlade Thickness: 0.14" (3.58 mm)Grind: HollowClosed Length: 5.34" (135.61 mm)Open Length: 9.31" (236.55 mm)Weight: 6.5 oz (184.27g)Handle: G10Style: Folding Knife with Liner Lock From the Manufacturer M16-14DSFG Special Forces Big Dog G10 made by Columbia River Knife & Tool is a 3.875-Inch Tanto blade combo edge knife.

Review: "The first knife you'll want, the last knife you'll need." - Real knife roll call: 1.Size, check. 2.EDC, check. 3.Price, check. 4.Style, check. 5.Durable, check. 6.Reliablility, check. 7.Blade sharpness, check. 8.Blade locks tight, check. 9.Hilt-opening option, check. 10.Dual-locking for safety, check. 11.Double hilted for slip-protection, check. Recap: 1.Comes smaller but this size is perfect. 2.I don't leave the bedroom without it. 3.Lost one, reordered, would do again. 4.Cool factor style. 5.Built like a brick, carries like a gem. 6.Drop of oil or wd-40 once a year. 7.Comes sharp, stays sharp, no worries. 8.Fixed-blade sturdiness when locked open. 9.Hilt-opening option is very effective. 10.Dual-locking for serious safety. 11.Double-hilted for all-conditions. My wife encouraged me to buy. This knife meets all 11 criteria I demanded in a knife: God is good. No I don't work for CRKT. This knife scores 11 stars out of 11 stars. Brilliant designed and God breathed. I considered buying the newer style colors, however they don't appear identical in make so I reordered the tan-nylon. This knife is worth triple what they're charging. The only con I had with my first knife was user-error-poor-basic-wipe-off-maintenance leading to rust developing inside the aesthetic-circles and minimal rust on the blade which had zero effect on the sharpness and zero effect on how smooth the blade opens. I'll make sure not to leave my second knife in water, which only affected the looks not the use. These pictures are the knife newly out the box and shows the pocket-clip mounted in the "tip-down" position. I usually EDC this knife with the pocket-clip in the "tip-up" position but will experiment with it as it before remounting the clip. Instructions discourage carrying in the tip-up position for hilt-deployment but I have never once had anything close to an issue. This is the best knife on the market for 11 reasons.
Review: Absolutely a great knife. Only slippery scales/handle - Definitely a great knife. Looks great. Sturdy and great design. Very fidgety and has impressive safety feature that prevent knife from closing once is open. It has potential for modifications and improvements. Can be opened in many ways. The only drawback is these scales handle on this model are so smooth one can drop the knife or fail to quickly pull it off the pocket in an emergency. The only thing I would change would be the scales. But I think there are no optional scales available. Not sure about that. But definitely my favorite knife so far

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 101st ABN Approved
*by B***E on July 31, 2018*

This is my 3rd one of these. I bought my first one at a Ranger Joe's outside of Ft. Banning, GA after infantry school for $130 in 2008 (price has dropped since then). Fell in love with the large blade and aggressive serration immediately. I broke the first one trying to use it as a pry bar to fix a 240b machine gun jam in Afghanistan in 2010 (my fault). Ordered another one immediately and had it on almost every continent in the world until I lost it rafting in the Adirondack mountains this past weekend. This knife is by far one of the most rugged, badass blades I have ever come across. I read the other 2 or 3 star reviews on this knife and was disgusted. "Chips in the serrations after one cut through a rope" and complaints about "opening in the pocket" are not part of my experience. I've used this knife to cut through everything from MRE's to boxes, electrical wire, rope, aluminum cans, and other things that typically destroy an edge. Ive also gotten pretty good at throwing the damn thing after carrying it for the past decade. It's not a thrower but it held up fine. Try throwing a benchmade at a telephone poll a few times and let me know how that goes. This knife is a utility blade and not a bedside "fidget spinner" as it was called or a pocket ornament. Sure, it's picked up a few nicks and scratches along the way but I've always been able to clean the blade up with the right stone. The simplicity of the mechanism is another pro to this blade. Throw some 'lock tite' on the 3 pocket clip screws because they will come loose with daily use. Now that this blade is significantly cheaper, I'm tempted to buy half a dozen just so I don't have to spend another day without one. I will make sure that one of these blades is lowered into the ground with me when I depart. I'd hate to come across a stubborn piece of frozen cheesecake or some demon that needs a good slashin' without my trusty CRKT M16-14SFG.
