CRKT LCK + Tanto Blackout Folding Knife Assisted Opening 3 1/4" Blade Black

The CRKT LCK + Tanto Blackout Folding Knife with Assisted Opening and 3 1/4" Tanto blade delivers rapid deployment when seconds matter. Columbia River Knife & Tool engineered this everyday carry folder around speed and reliability, making it a proven choice for law enforcement, tactical professionals, and serious EDC users who demand instant blade access without fumbling or hesitation.

The assisted opening mechanism paired with the flipper design produces lightning-fast deployment from closed to ready position. The IKBS ball bearing pivot ensures smooth, consistent blade travel with minimal friction—critical for reliability in high-stress situations. At just 0.16 lbs, the LCK + Tanto carries like a feather despite its substantial 3 1/4" cutting edge, and the compact 4.75" closed length fits deep-carry sheaths and EDC rigs without printing or creating bulk. The blackout finish eliminates reflective surfaces, a practical advantage during low-light operations or tactical environments where discretion matters.

The Tanto blade geometry—characterized by its flat cutting edge and reinforced point—excels at cutting, prying, and puncturing tasks common to duty carry, survival applications, and utility work. This folding knife is built for operators who prioritize speed-to-blade and will integrate into duty belts, ankle rigs, or backpack EDC setups without compromise. Whether deployed for law enforcement backup, tactical team breaching, or demanding outdoor fieldwork, the LCK + Tanto balances aggressive performance with the portability that defines modern assisted-opening knife design.
