Columbia River M16-10XK Folder Black GRN Handle TiNi 8Cr14MoV Serrated Blade CRM16-10XK

The Columbia River Knife and Tool M16-10XK Folder carries forward one of the most recognizable and widely trusted tactical knife designs ever produced, now updated with modern materials and an upgraded locking system. Built on a legacy of military-grade performance, this knife is engineered for reliability in the field, everyday carry practicality, and dependable cutting power when conditions aren’t ideal.

At the core is a 3.03” tanto blade made from 8Cr14MoV high carbon stainless steel, finished in a durable Titanium Nitride coating that helps resist corrosion and wear while adding a sleek, low-reflection look. The tanto profile gives the blade reinforced strength at the tip, making it ideal for piercing tasks and hard-use cutting. Along the edge, Veff Serrations™ dramatically enhance cutting efficiency, especially on fibrous materials like rope, webbing, cord, and straps. These serrations are designed to bite deep and cut fast, giving the M16-10XK an edge in emergency and utility situations where speed matters.

Deployment is smooth and confident thanks to the IKBS™ ball-bearing pivot system, allowing the blade to open with minimal resistance. Once open, the ambidextrous Crossbar Lock secures the blade with rock-solid stability and allows for easy one-handed closing from either hand. That versatility makes it equally functional for right- or left-handed users without compromise.

The handle is built from Grivory®, an aircraft-grade glass-reinforced nylon chosen for its strength-to-weight ratio and resilience under stress. It’s lightweight in hand but tough in demanding environments, with a textured surface that delivers a positive grip in wet, dry, or gloved conditions. The black finish keeps the profile discreet and professional while maintaining a tactical edge.

At just 2.10 ounces, the M16-10XK is exceptionally lightweight for a knife of this capability, making it easy to carry all day without fatigue. Closed length measures 4.01”, while overall length extends to 7.06”, striking a balance between compact carry and usable blade presence.

The Columbia River M16-10XK Folder delivers proven tactical design, modern materials, and everyday practicality in a lightweight, ambidextrous platform built to perform when it counts.
