Designed by our military consultants, this extreme-duty Special Operations Tactical Fixed Blade (SOTFB™) is built to withstand the hardest possible duty in combat. The knife itself is built like a rock, by far the heftiest full-tang fixed blade CRKT has ever offered. Military experts told us they wanted the knife available with a completely versatile sheath system to meet the preferences of different special forces units. The M60 is now available in special editions, each with an Operation Iraqi Freedom Certified logo.

The knife has an AUS 8 stainless steel blade with a black titanium nitride coating for superior corrosion resistance. The injection-molded black Zytel® scales have an aggressive operator’s pattern. A double guard hilt, with thumb friction grooves and pronounced butt pommel, gives maximum security and grip.

M60-14NKI Special Edition Tanto. This model is purely tactical, with a recurved dual grind Tanto blade with Combination Razor-Sharp and Triple-Point™ Serrated edges. A false top grind aids penetration, and a full-width ridge of metal extends near the tip for maximum strength.

Tactical Sheath. Our military experts designed the most versatile tactical sheath possible based on the needs of special forces teams. The black Cordura®/Zytel® sheath has an injection-molded Zytel liner which prevents blade penetration and helps secure the knife. It has an integral belt loop for conventional high carry. There is also a removable adjustable drop leg extender and two adjustable removable leg straps, which allow low carry.

There are two security handle straps with snaps, one removable, to give just the right combination of access and security, depending on the mission’s terrain and underbrush.

All hardware and grommets are black. High and low grommets allow attachment of the sheath with paracords if preferred.

Finally, a utility pocket with Velcro® closure, adjustable for length, will carry a variety of folding knives, multipurpose tools or sharpeners.

We don’t know of any tactical knife/sheath system better designed to meet the needs of today’s modern military.
