CRKT Folding Knife 2.94in Plain Edge Gray Bead Blasted Tanto

The CRKT M40-02 Black and Gray is a compact, reliable folding knife designed by renowned knifemaker Kit Carson. This knife boasts a 2.94" tanto blade crafted from 1.4116 steel, known for its excellent toughness and edge retention. The bead-blasted finish on the blade not only adds a sleek, matte look but also helps reduce glare, making it an ideal choice for outdoor tasks or tactical applications. The blade’s tanto shape is designed for piercing strength and precise cutting, making it versatile for a variety of cutting tasks, whether you're opening boxes or slicing through tough materials.

One of the standout features of the M40-02 is the ease of deployment. It’s equipped with ambidextrous thumb studs and a flipper, allowing for quick and smooth one-handed opening. This is enhanced by the IKBS ball bearing pivot system, which reduces friction and ensures a smooth action every time you open the blade. This knife is well-suited for both left and right-handed users, adding a layer of accessibility and convenience.

The handle design is as functional as it is comfortable. Made from durable black glass-reinforced nylon (GRN), the handle provides a lightweight yet sturdy frame. Gray aluminum bolsters add an extra level of durability and a stylish contrast to the black handle, enhancing the knife’s overall aesthetic. The ergonomic shape ensures a secure grip, while the slightly textured GRN adds slip resistance, making it safe to use even in wet conditions. At 3.95” closed and weighing only 3.3oz, the M40-02 is highly portable, easily fitting into your pocket or gear without adding significant weight.

The knife also includes a stainless steel pocket clip for tip-up carry, allowing you to carry it discreetly and securely. With CRKT's reputation for quality and Kit Carson's expertise in functional, reliable knife design, the M40-02 offers both quality and performance, making it a practical addition to your everyday carry collection or a reliable tool for outdoor and tactical use.
