A Proven Tactical Folder

The CRKT M16-14XK represents the latest evolution of the legendary M16 family—knives born from real-world military service and refined through years of field use. This tanto-blade folder carries forward a tradition of dependable performance in demanding conditions.

Key Features

  • Blade: 3.97" D2 steel tanto with Veff Serrations (half-serrated design)
  • Deployment: Ambidextrous Crossbar Lock with IKBS ball-bearing pivot for smooth, reliable opening
  • Handle: Lightweight Grivory construction for reduced weight without sacrificing durability
  • Design: One-hand closing capability for tactical efficiency

Why This Knife Works

The tanto blade geometry excels at piercing and controlled cuts—a geometry proven in both military and civilian applications. D2 steel delivers excellent edge retention and corrosion resistance, while the half-serrated edge combines the versatility of a straight edge with the aggressive cutting power of serrations.

The ambidextrous lock accommodates both left and right-handed users, and the ball-bearing pivot ensures the blade deploys with minimal effort. The Grivory handle keeps the overall package light and maneuverable without compromising structural integrity.

The Bottom Line

This is a serious folder for serious users—whether you're a professional, an outdoor enthusiast, or someone who simply demands reliability from their tools.
