At the core of this versatile folder is its 3.09-inch tanto blade made from AUS-8 stainless steel. This high-performance steel is prized for its edge retention, corrosion resistance, and ease of sharpening. The partially serrated edge provides added versatility, allowing for clean slicing cuts as well as aggressive sawing through tougher materials like rope or webbing.

Once open, the reliable linerlock mechanism keeps the blade securely in place, giving you confidence for precise and controlled use. This simple yet effective locking system has made the M16 line a favorite among knife enthusiasts for years.
The handle is made from black glass-reinforced nylon (GRN), which offers an exceptional balance of strength and weight savings. The handle features weight-reducing cutouts that not only add to its visual appeal but also make it lighter and easier to carry. The handle’s textured surface provides a non-slip grip, ensuring you’re always in control. At 4.23 inches closed, it’s compact enough to fit comfortably in your pocket, but still large enough to offer a secure hold.
