Crkt M16-10KS Tanto Folder, 8Cr14MoV

Product Description

The Crkt M16-10KS Tanto Folder is a folding knife with a 3.06″ tanto blade made from 8Cr14MoV steel. It was designed by Kit Carson and belongs to the M16-10 series. Overall length is 7.13″, and it closes down to 4″.

The blade is 0.1″ thick with a plain edge and a black EDP finish. The tanto shape gives you a strong, angled point and a flat grind for straight cuts. The steel is listed at a hardness of 58-60. You open it with the flipper, and the frame lock holds the blade open.

Handle and carry

The handle is black stainless steel, and the whole knife weighs 2.6 oz. The pocket clip can be set for left or right carry, tip down. That makes it easy to move between pockets or between hands without buying a different knife. It is made in China.

This knife suits anyone who wants a compact flipper for daily cutting jobs: opening boxes, cutting cord, and trimming material around the shop or truck. It pairs well with a small sharpening stone to keep the edge fresh, a pocket flashlight, and a compact multitool for the tasks a knife does not cover.
