The M16 Tanto represents a proven design philosophy: take a solid foundation and refine it for real-world performance. This folder delivers exactly that.
12C27 Sandvik Stainless Steel provides an excellent balance of edge retention and corrosion resistance. The 3.057-inch tanto blade geometry offers a unique cutting profile—the flat edge near the handle excels at slicing, while the aggressive point handles piercing and detailed work with authority.
The tanto point has earned respect in both military and civilian circles. Unlike a drop point, it maintains structural integrity at the tip while delivering superior piercing capability. The M16 platform has been refined through years of real-world use, making it a dependable choice whether you're processing game, preparing camp meals, or simply carrying a quality blade.
This is a knife that does what it promises—no more, no less.
