A modern tribute to Kit Carson's iconic tactical legacy, this folding knife features a substantial 3.87-inch tanto blade made from 12C27 Sandvik steel for superior edge retention and durability. Finished with a tough black oxide coating, it combines aggressive cutting performance with a sleek, low-profile tactical look.

Built for demanding everyday tasks and outdoor utility, the knife deploys quickly using Carson's signature flipper mechanism. A thick, solid frame lock secures the blade tightly open during hard use, while the ported stainless steel handle maintains exceptional strength and structural rigidity.
