Case 16400 USMC Folding Clip Point/Spey Plain Tru-Sharp SS Blade, Smooth Royal Blue Synthetic Handle
The Case 16400 USMC folding knife pairs two distinct blade profiles in one compact, field-ready package. Built on Case's proven folding design, this dual-blade folder carries the clip point—a reliable all-purpose edge favored by hunters and utility workers—alongside a spey blade, a specialized shape originally designed for processing game but equally at home in camp or on the job. The combination gives you versatility without the bulk of carrying multiple knives, and the smooth royal blue synthetic handle provides secure grip in wet conditions and a look that stands up to hard use.
Case has been making American knives since 1889, and the 16400 reflects that heritage: the stainless steel blades are ground using Tru-Sharp technology to hold an edge and resist corrosion. The plain edge (no serrations) on both blades keeps maintenance simple and gives you full control during detail work. Whether you're a hunter processing game, a camper handling camp chores, or someone who values a no-frills, dependable folder in the field, this USMC-inspired design delivers practical blade options in a package that fits your pocket.
The synthetic handle material is durable and easy to clean, standing up to field conditions without the maintenance requirements of natural materials. The dual-blade configuration means you're not locked into a single cutting geometry—you can choose the blade that matches the task at hand, from general cutting to more specialized cuts.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the clip point and spey blade shapes best used for?
The clip point is a versatile, general-purpose blade suitable for hunting, camp chores, and everyday cutting tasks. The spey blade is a specialized shape traditionally used in game processing and butchering, but its flat edge and gentle curve also excel at detail work. The combination gives you two cutting profiles in one tool.
Is this knife suitable for hunting?
Yes. The spey blade is particularly well-suited to field dressing and processing game, while the clip point handles general camp tasks, cord cutting, and utility work. The stainless steel blades resist corrosion, which is important in wet field conditions.
What kind of handle material is used?
The handle is smooth royal blue synthetic material, which is durable, easy to clean, and provides reliable grip even in wet or cold conditions. Synthetic handles require minimal maintenance compared to natural materials.
Is the blade plain or serrated?
Both blades are plain edge (non-serrated), giving you clean cuts and easy maintenance. There are no serrations to complicate sharpening or catch on materials.
