CRKT M16-14XD Tanto Folding Knife, Desert Tan

The CRKT M16-14XD (brand part no. M1614XD) grew directly out of Columbia River Knife & Tool’s Carson special forces G10 M16 line, developed after demand surfaced from coalition forces serving in desert environments. The 3.97-inch partially serrated tanto blade is machined from 1.4116 stainless steel and finished in a desert tan TiNi coating to match its desert tan G10 handle scales, giving this M16 variant a distinct, mission-driven color scheme rather than a cosmetic choice. It carries the same rugged tanto profile that has made the M16 line a long-running favorite for hard field use.
