CRKT M16-04KS Tanto — this is a full-sized tactical knife that's super comfy for larger hands and built for heavy-duty tasks. It's styled for military use but also works like a champ as a field knife.

The tanto blade measures 3.4 mm thick and maintains that thickness nearly to the tip, allowing it to pierce tough materials without risking damage to the edge. The angle of the cutting edge gives this knife an aggressive cutting performance.

Crafted from high-quality martensitic stainless steel by Sweden's Sandvik 12C27, with a hardness rating of 58-60 HRC, this blade stands up to heavy use and keeps its edge sharp for a long time. Its surface features a black oxide finish to reduce glare.

You can deploy the blade with either a thumb stud or a flipper. It’s secured with a sturdy Liner-Lock mechanism. Plus, the innovative AutoLAWKS safety feature prevents accidental closures, ensuring safe operation.

The handle is made from stainless steel with a sleek black finish. Its design is perfect for an easy grip, whether you're using a big hand or a gloved palm. The through-holes not only give the knife a distinct look but also help reduce weight and enhance grip.

For easy carry, the CRKT M16-04KS Tanto comes with a four-position pocket clip.
