CRKT M16®-02BALI butterfly knife
CRKT
CRKT® (Columbia River Knife and Tool®) was founded in 1994. The company collaborates with the best knife designers in the world and translates their creative and innovative designs into affordable production knives and tools.
The M16® family of knives, designed by the late Kit Carson, is one of the most iconic designs created—trusted for decades as a hard-use tool built to perform when it matters. Now, that proven legacy has been reimagined into an American-made balisong built to be used. Less of a fidget flipper, M16®-02BALI is a serious cutting tool designed for those who demand strength, precision, and reliability.
Crafted in Colorado by Live Sharp Industries, the M16®-02BALI carries the same DNA as Carson’s original design—now adapted into a balanced, lightweight everyday carry. At just 2.6 ounces, it disappears in the pocket yet opens smoothly thanks to IKBS™ ball-bearing pivots.
A tough MagnaCut tanto blade delivers edge retention and corrosion resistance that outpaces traditional steels, while the aluminum handle has subtle contours for comfort during extended use. A locking latch ensures security in carry, and the removable pocket clip keeps it accessible on the go.
The M16® balisong honors Carson’s vision while pushing it forward: a hard-use balisong knife, made in the USA, built to be carried and used—not just flipped.
