M60 SOTFB Desert Tan Tanto by Columbia River M60-14NKD  Designed by CRKT's military consultants, these extreme-duty Special Operations Tactical Fixed Blades (SOTFB) are built to withstand the hardest possible duty in combat. The knives themselves are built like rocks, by far the heftiest full-tang fixed blades CRKT has ever offered. All M60s have AUS 8 stainless steel blades with titanium nitride coatings for superior corrosion resistance. Their injection-molded 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.

Tactical Sheath. CRKT 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.
