The new M16® Fire Department Zytel® models are designed to meet the special requirements of those in fire fighting. For strength, we use our rigid InterFrame build with 420J2 stainless steel liners. Scales are injection-molded Fire Engine Red Zytel, which is a tough, strong composite of fiberglass and nylon designed to handle the worst abuse. The scales are textured for good grip in wet conditions.
The 1* design features AUS 8 stainless stell blades, chosen for edge retention and durability. Black titanium nitride coating provides extreme corrosion resistance. Blade edges are Combined Razor-Sharp and Triple-Point™ Serrated to handle rugged cutting tasks that break down standard cutting edges.
The M-16®-13 FDZ features a spear point blade with a false top edge. It is a slim profile design that is ideal for a variety of carry positions.
One-handed opening and closing is velvet smooth, the result of Teflon® bearings at the blade pivot. The ambidextrous thumb stud with checkered surface provides instant access in any circumstance.
The M16-13FDZ features Columbia River's patented AutoLAWKS™, which automatically turns the folders into fixed blades when the blade is opened and locked
