CRKT M40-02 Folding Knife

The CRKT M40-02 Folding Knife is a modern reinterpretation of an iconic design that recalls the legacy of the late Kit Carson, known for knives such as the M16® and M21™. This model brings a proven design together with modern technologies and innovations that make it a highly functional tool for everyday use.

Key features of the CRKT M40-02:

Exceptional strength and security: Deadbolt® technology is a revolutionary locking system that offers incredible blade lock strength. Unlike traditional locks, this system is extremely resistant to disengagement even under heavy use, making it ideal for demanding tasks.

Easy to use: Although this system is very strong, it is easy to operate, meaning you can easily open and close the blade with one hand.

Material: The blade is made from 1.4116 stainless steel, known for its high corrosion resistance and good edge retention. It is a quality steel that is easy to maintain, which is an advantage for everyday carry.

Finish: The surface features a bead blast finish, which not only improves the blade’s appearance but also increases wear resistance and gives the blade an attractive matte look.

This system is responsible for smooth and fast blade deployment. The ball bearings allow the blade to glide precisely and smoothly when opening, ensuring low resistance and quick knife opening.

Glass-reinforced nylon: The handle is made from glass-reinforced nylon, making it durable and lightweight. This material is strong and has excellent anti-slip properties, which means the knife remains secure in hand even in demanding conditions.

Aluminum liner: The handle is also complemented by an aluminum liner, which increases strength and wear resistance. This combination of materials contributes to the knife’s light weight without sacrificing durability.

Closed length: 3,95" (100,38 mm) – suitable for comfortable pocket carry.

Everyday carry (EDC):

It is compact and easy to carry for camping, hiking, and adventure.

Self-defense and emergency situations:

Thanks to the robust Deadbolt® lock, the knife is very strong and secure, making it suitable for self-defense or emergency situations where you need a reliable tool ready for quick use.

Conclusion:

The CRKT M40-02 is an ideal choice for everyday carry thanks to its combination of classic design and modern technology. The Deadbolt® lock provides outstanding security, the IKBS™ system ensures smooth opening, and the ergonomic glass-reinforced nylon handle provides a comfortable grip.
