Designed by Kit Carson, the M4 features CKTS's patented OutBurst¢ assisted opening mechanism, which instantly springs the blade fully open after you have opened the blade approximately 30 degrees. Both styles have dual thumb studs for ambidextrous one-hand opening and bronze and Teflon® bearings at the adjustable blade pivot for smooth, fast action.
The blade is a high-hollow-grind drop point of premium AUS 8 stainless steel in a bead-blast finish. Both Razor-Sharp and our exclusive Combined Razor-Sharp and Veff¢ Serrated edges are available. Developed by Oregon City, Oregon, knife designer Tom Veff, these serrations are wide and angled at 60 degrees to the edge. The M4 also has a pocket clip (tip up) for easy carry.
