Columbia River M16-10XD Folder Tan GRN Handle TiNi 8Cr14MoV Veff Serrated Blade CRM16-10XD

The Columbia River Knife and Tool M16-10XD Folder carries forward one of the most trusted tactical knife lineages ever produced, refined with modern engineering and built for hard use in the field. Born from the iconic M16® family, this model continues a legacy of military-grade design while adding upgraded materials, smoother deployment, and enhanced cutting performance for today’s demands.

At the center is a 3.03” tanto blade crafted from 8Cr14MoV high carbon stainless steel, finished in a durable Titanium Nitride coating that boosts corrosion resistance while reducing glare and wear. The tanto profile reinforces the tip for added strength during piercing tasks, while the Veff Serrations™ along the edge dramatically improve cutting efficiency on rope, webbing, straps, and other fibrous materials. These aggressive serrations are designed for fast, confident cuts when it matters most, making this blade especially effective in utility and emergency situations.

Opening action is smooth and controlled thanks to the IKBS™ ball-bearing pivot system, allowing the blade to deploy with minimal resistance and consistent speed. Once open, the ambidextrous Crossbar Lock secures the blade firmly in place, offering excellent strength and stability under pressure. It also allows for easy one-handed closing from either hand, making it equally practical for left- or right-handed users without compromise.

The handle is constructed from Grivory®, an aircraft-grade glass-reinforced nylon chosen for its durability, rigidity, and lightweight performance. Finished in a desert tan color, it provides a functional, low-profile look while maintaining excellent grip security in all conditions. The textured surface ensures confident handling whether dry, wet, or gloved, and the lightweight construction keeps carry effortless throughout the day.

Weighing just 2.10 ounces, the M16-10XD is built for all-day carry without fatigue. Its slim profile and 4.01” closed length make it easy to store, while the 7.06” overall length delivers a capable working knife that’s always ready when needed.

The Columbia River M16-10XD Folder blends proven tactical heritage with modern upgrades, delivering a lightweight, dependable cutting tool built for real-world performance and everyday readiness.
