CRKT M16-14XK Crossbar Lock Folding Knife - 3.97" D2 Black Veff Serrations Blade Black Grivory Handle

The CRKT M16-14XK Crossbar Lock is a formidable, full-size tactical evolution of the legendary M16 series, blending battle-proven heritage with modern enhancements for uncompromising performance in demanding environments. Designed by the iconic Kit Carson, this blacked-out variant delivers superior piercing power, aggressive cutting capability, and rock-solid reliability ideal for tactical professionals, outdoor hard use, or anyone who carries a serious tool for serious tasks.

The 3.97-inch tanto blade is crafted from tough D2 tool steel with a durable black titanium nitride (TiNi/EDP) finish for exceptional edge retention, corrosion resistance, and reduced glare. Featuring Veff Serrations along the edge for enhanced cutting through fibrous materials like rope, webbing, or straps, the classic tanto profile excels at piercing, prying, and controlled slicing while maintaining razor-sharp performance through heavy abuse.

Deployment is buttery-smooth and lightning-fast courtesy of CRKT's IKBS ball bearing pivot, with dual thumb studs enabling quick, one-handed access. The innovative ambidextrous Crossbar Lock provides bombproof security and effortless one-handed opening and closing simply pull the bar to deploy or reverse to close making it fully intuitive and fidget-friendly for left- or right-handers.

The black Grivory handle features the signature "speed holes" for lightweight strength, excellent all-conditions grip, and a clean, tactical aesthetic that echoes the M16's military roots. A reversible deep-carry pocket clip ensures discreet, tip-up carry that's ready for rapid deployment.

At a closed length of approximately 5.35 inches, overall open length around 9.3 inches, and weighing about 5.30 oz, it offers substantial, commanding presence while remaining balanced and portable for everyday tactical carry.
