Highly recommend
High quality and great looking knife. It is one of my larger pocket knives. It came very sharp. I'd definitely recommend it for an everyday carry.

The CRKT M16-14ZSF Bead-Blasted Desert Tan is a tactical-inspired folding knife that combines rugged functionality with striking desert aesthetics. Built to handle demanding tasks with ease, this knife is as dependable as it is versatile. Whether you’re venturing into the great outdoors, tackling everyday tasks, or expanding your collection, the M16-14ZSF is designed to impress with its quality and performance.
The knife’s 3.99” partially serrated tanto blade is crafted from AUS-8 stainless steel, a material known for its excellent edge retention, toughness, and resistance to corrosion. The bead-blasted finish enhances the blade’s durability while adding a sleek, matte look that complements its tactical design. The tanto blade excels in piercing and precision cutting, while the partially serrated edge offers added versatility for tougher materials like rope or webbing. With a robust .14” blade thickness, the M16-14ZSF is ready for heavy-duty use without sacrificing control or balance.
Deployment is quick and effortless, thanks to the dual-opening options of a blade flipper and ambidextrous thumb studs. These features make it easy to open the knife smoothly and reliably, no matter your dominant hand. Once open, the blade is securely locked in place by a linerlock mechanism, giving you confidence during use.
The Desert Tan GRN (glass-reinforced nylon) handle not only adds to the knife’s rugged aesthetic but also offers durability and a lightweight build. The weight-reducing cutouts enhance portability while providing a secure grip, even in challenging conditions. The ergonomic design ensures comfort during extended use, while the handle’s textured surface adds traction for optimal control.
Measuring 5.38” closed and 9.25” overall, the M16-14ZSF is substantial enough for serious tasks yet compact enough to carry comfortably. Weighing 6.3 ounces, it offers a reassuring heft without being cumbersome. The tip-down pocket clip provides a secure carry option, ensuring the knife is always within reach.
