M4 - Burl
Custom knifemaker and Knifemakers’ Guild member Kit Carson is widely known for his M16 design, which CRKT offers in many production models. But since 1990, Kit’s most consistent selling custom model has been his classic M4. In his usual unassuming manner, Kit says, “I guess you’d say it’s my flagship custom. It’s simple, with form following function. No tricks that look slick but aren’t worth a flip in your hand. I’ve made many variations on it, from exotic collectibles to working tacticals, in maybe twenty versions. But I still get more and more calls to make the M4.” This year CRKT is offering the M4 design in Kit’s smaller every day carry (EDC) size.
While they were engineering it, they decided to add some more value by offering their patented OutBurst assisted opening, and our patented LAWKS safety on models with the stainless steel bolster. It creates a virtual fixed blade when actuated after the blade is opened and locked. Their OutBurst assisted opening mechanism instantly springs the blade fully open after you have opened the blade approximately 30 degrees. M4 models have dual thumb studs for ambidextrous one-hand opening and bronze and Teflon bearings at the adjustable blade pivot for smooth, fast action. CRKT’s heavy-duty InterFrame build is true to Kit’s design, with dual stainless steel liners, one locking, and a stainless steel back spacer. So here you have a friendly EDC knife that fits the hand naturally for all kinds of cutting and carving tasks. Like Kit, it’s a bit unassuming, but it’s a knife you’ll come back to year after year.
