I have 3 of these knives NIB for sale. According to CRKT this is Their Large Tanto.
CRKT made these in The USA years ago, but now They are made overseas.
I called CRKT and the last "Catalog Date" was around 2010 and the MSRP was $129.95
I have heard a story that a US Agency wanted Their knives made in the USA, but have not been able to confirm that.
COLUMBIA RIVER M16-14SFA Dual grind Tanto-style combination edge blades offer maximum strength. The M16 open build allows two Carson Flippers to be incorporated, resulting in a true hilt. Blade, frame and hardware are all non-reflective black. Features the patented* Lake And Walker Knife Safety (LAWKS®), which effectively turns the folders into fixed blades when actuated.This is a design that gets knife enthusiasts suddenly excited. When open, with LAWKS actuated, it offers the strength, rigidity and safety of a hilted fixed blade. Release the LAWKS lever, release the locking liner, and it folds to an easily carried length. You have the advantages of a fixed blade with--out the disadvantage of a costly sheath carry system.
Features a 3.875" (9.8 cm) blade and full size handle with butt pommel which is exceptionally useful in tactical situations. Weight is kept to 5.4 oz. (153 g). The CRKT production aluminum frame SFs are based on Kit Carson's custom M16 design. They feature contoured handles of textured, black, hard anodized 6061 T6 aluminum, with a perimeter radius for a comfortable grip with or without gloves. Stainless steel locking liners with friction grooves, for positive locking. AUS 8 stainless steel blades, chosen for edge retention and durability, with non-reflective black titanium nitride coating for maximum corrosion resistance. Combined Razor-Sharp and Triple-Point(tm) Serrated edges for rugged cutting tasks. One-hand opening and closing is quick and smooth, the result of precision tolerances and Teflon® bearings. The ambidextrous thumb stud with checkered surface provides instant access in any circumstance. Each knife comes with two stainless steel black Teflon-plated clothing/gear clips, extra screws and a Torx® tool, allowing four position carry on belts or webbing-- tip up, tip down, left or right. The "A" in the item designation refers to the knife being made in Columbia River's state of the art US factory, back around 8 years ago...at least 2010 was the date that a CRKT Rep found this knife in The Company's Catalog. * Blade length: 3.94" (10.0 cm) * Thickness: 0.14" (0.35 cm) * Steel: AUS 8, 57-58 HRC * Handle (closed length): 5.31" (13.5 NEW in the box. )
