The M16-10KS features a 3.06-inch tanto blade crafted from 8Cr13MoV stainless steel, providing a solid balance of edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance. The partially serrated edge expands the knife’s cutting versatility, allowing it to handle both fine slicing tasks and tougher materials that benefit from aggressive serrations. The tanto blade shape offers a reinforced point and strong tip strength, making it well suited for utility work, outdoor tasks, and everyday challenges. A black electro deposit primer coated finish gives the blade a durable, low-profile appearance while helping protect the steel from wear and corrosion.

The handle features black titanium nitride-coated stainless steel scales with weight-reducing cutouts, helping keep the knife’s overall weight down while maintaining strength and durability. The textured metal construction provides a solid grip, while the black finish complements the knife’s tactical appearance. A stainless steel pocket clip offers convenient carry options, keeping the knife secure and accessible when needed. The integrated lanyard hole provides an additional carry option or allows users to attach a lanyard for added security.
