At the request of those in the emergency services field, we have modified some of our most successful designs for these rugged applications. Handles have scales of tough Zytel^® in high-visibility orange. We have chosen tough blade steels to withstand abuse, and given them a polished finish to resist corrosion. Finally, we have priced them to be as affordable as possible.

M16^®-12Z E.R. This is the smaller Tanto-blade version of Kit Carson's very popular M16 Zytel line. The very strong blade grind, Combination Triple-Point^™ Serrated edge and Carson Flipper make this a compact and versatile rescue folder. A stainless steel pocket/gear clip and our exclusive patented* AutoLAWKS^™ automatic safety are standard.

It uses our very successful InterFrame construction, tough, textured Zytel^® scales over a 420J2 stainless steel liner InterFrame. We overbuild it for rigidity, using solid Zytel back spacers. And we assemble the handle with superior offset Torx^® fasteners. The handle is exceptionally rigid and fills the hand perfectly.

We use our tough AUS 4 high-carbon stainless steel for the blades to give greater everyday utility.

The Carson Flipper is not only an aid to opening the blade, especially when wearing gloves, but acts as a blade guard when the blade is open.

We've also incorporated our patented* AutoLAWKS^™ automatic knife safety into all models, which converts the M16 Zytel series into virtual fixed blades when their blades are open and locked.

All styles have Teflon^® bearings and a removable Teflon^®-plated stainless steel clothing/gear clip.
