The Columbia River M16-14D Desert Big Dog Folding Knife features Columbia River’s super rigid InterFrame is built with 420J2 stainless steel liners, threaded stainless steel back spacers, and Desert Camo pattern Zytel scales. Blades are non-reflective bead-blast finished AUS 4 stainless steel. They blend and almost disappear in the desert.
The Desert Big Dog is an aluminum frame M16 with all the features shown on the M16 Aluminum, but in desert camo. The contoured handles of textured, 6061 T6 aluminum are hard anodized Desert Tan. The 3.875 inch (9.8 cm) AUS 8 stainless steel blade, chosen for edge retention and durability, receives a highly corrosion-resistant Desert Tan non-reflective titanium nitride coating.
All models feature the patented Lake and Walker knife safety (LAWKS), which
effectively turns the folders into fixed blades when actuated. One hand
opening and closing is quick and smooth, the result of precision tolerances
and teflon bearings at the blade pivot. The dual ambidextrous thumb studs
with checkered surfaces provide instant access in any circumstance. M16-14
Big dog is a hefty, full size working knife with a modified dual grind
tanto style blade.
