DETAILS:

Kit Carson turned out a host of game-changing knives from his bench in Vine Grove, Kentucky. The M40 is based on one of his relatively unknown custom designs. In classic Kit style, the four-inch stainless steel spear point blade is all business. It's been given Veff Serrations for powerful cord and rope-cutting capability and is met with a glass-reinforced nylon and aluminum bolster handle that's both strong and surprisingly lightweight. The magic happens when you fire it up. The deployment action is quick and smooth with a flipper and IKBS ball-bearing pivot system. It locks into place with Deadbolt and will stay there—enduring incredible stress and weight—until it's simply closed with the prominent button.
