Meet your next adventure ally: the CRKT M16-04KS Tanto Folding Knife. Engineered to conquer the toughest tasks, this dynamic blade never quits. Whether you’re on a mission, deep in the backcountry or tackling everyday chores, its sleek profile packs unmatched power, transforming challenges into swift, confident cuts. Embrace precision that adapts to any situation—from urban jungles to off-grid escapes—feeling the rush of undisputed performance in the palm of your hand.
At the heart of the M16-04KS lies a turbocharged 12C27 Sandvik steel blade, forged for razor-sharp edge retention and corrosion resistance. A matte black oxide finish adds stealthy durability, resisting rust, scratches and wear. The uncompromising tanto tip excels at piercing dense materials and prying stubborn objects without fear of tip damage. Slice through cord, carve wood or strip wire with surgical accuracy—this blade delivers repeatable, rock-solid performance under pressure.
Lightweight yet unbreakable, the skeletonized 2Cr13 stainless steel handle balances strength with comfort. Sculpted contours cradle your grip, while aggressive jimping on the spine ensures positive traction—even when wet or muddy. The open-frame design sheds excess weight, reducing fatigue on extended treks or all-day tasks. Experience a knife that feels like an extension of your hand, ready to respond instantly to every twist, press and pull.
Deploy the blade in a heartbeat using the smooth flipper or dual-purpose thumb stud—perfect for one-handed opening when every second counts. A robust frame lock snaps into place with reassuring security, keeping the blade rock-steady under load. Four-way reversible clip positions (tip-up/tip-down, left/right) let you customize carry for ultimate convenience. Clip it discreetly to your pocket, belt or pack and forget it’s there—until you need it.
Inspired by Kit Carson’s iconic silhouette, the M16-04KS pairs classic design with modern innovations. Measuring 23.65 cm overall and tipping the scales at just 175 g, it strikes the perfect balance between portability and tactical readiness. From rapid-response tasks to demanding fieldwork, this knife was born to perform cut after cut, season after season. Compact enough to pocket, rugged enough for the wild—it’s readiness made effortless.
