CRKT Crossbar Lock Black - CRKT-M16-02X

The iconic M16 family of knives gets a modern upgrade with an ambidextrous Crossbar Lock paired with IKBS ball-bearing pivot for seamless deployment and easy ambidextrous one-hand closing. The tanto blade in tough D2 steel provides exceptional tip strength for piercing tasks and long lasting wear resistance for challenging tactical uses. The lightweight handle is made of Grivory, an aircraft-grade thermoplastic that's specifically engineered for strength, durability and offers positive grip in all conditions with the legendary skeletonized holes to further reduce carry weight.

All knives in the Crossbar Lock Series are equipped with clip options that allow for left or right hand carry on belts or webbing, a tip-up pocket clip designed for ambidextrous carry.
