CRKT M16-10DZ Desert Tan 3.03 Inch Partially Serrated Desert Tan Tanto

The CRKT M16-10DZ is a tactical-inspired everyday carry folding knife that combines durability, performance, and style into a sleek, lightweight package. Designed for those who demand more from their tools, this knife brings together high-quality materials and thoughtful engineering, making it a standout option for anyone who needs a reliable blade for daily use.

At its heart, the M16-10DZ features a partially serrated 3.03-inch tanto blade made from D2 tool steel. Renowned for its excellent edge retention and toughness, D2 steel is perfectly suited for tackling a wide range of tasks. The tanto blade design delivers superior strength at the tip for piercing, while the partially serrated edge adds extra versatility for cutting through tough materials like rope and fabric. Finished in a Desert Tan titanium nitride coating, the blade not only looks rugged but also resists corrosion and wear, ensuring it’s ready for whatever challenges come your way.

Deploying the blade is smooth and effortless, thanks to the IKBS ball-bearing pivot system. Whether you choose the blade flipper or the ambidextrous thumb studs, you’ll enjoy a quick and reliable opening action every time. Once the blade is deployed, the linerlock mechanism provides a secure and confident lockup, so you can focus on the task at hand without worry.

The handle is crafted from Desert Tan glass-reinforced nylon (GRN), a tough and lightweight material that ensures a comfortable grip. Weight-reducing cutouts in the handle add to its portability while maintaining structural integrity. The textured finish provides a secure hold, even in wet or slippery conditions, and the Desert Tan color gives the knife a distinctive look that complements its tactical design.

At just 2.5 ounces, the M16-10DZ is incredibly lightweight, making it an ideal everyday carry companion. It measures 4.01 inches when closed, making it easy to slip into your pocket or gear without adding bulk. When open, the knife extends to 7.06 inches, providing a comfortable size for handling a variety of tasks. Its slim profile and thoughtful construction make it an excellent choice for on-the-go use.

With a .1-inch blade thickness, this knife strikes the perfect balance between precision and strength. Whether you’re slicing through packaging, preparing materials, or taking on outdoor challenges, the M16-10DZ is designed to deliver consistent, dependable performance.
