Designed for law enforcement use and with obvious features of interest to military personnel as well, civilians may do well to think of this as a collector’s item.
In extreme close quarters encounters where a suspect is attempting to take an officer's handgun, or an officer cannot access his handgun, the TDI knife is available as a "last option" knife. When worn on the pant belt the entire unit - knife and sheath - is well concealed. Designed by John Benner, founder and owner of Tactical Defense Institute.
Black belt clip included.
Designed for law enforcement use and with obvious features of interest to military personnel as well, civilians may do well to think of this as a collector’s item. This scaled down version of Ka-Bar’s popular TDI “last resort” knife is small enough to be worn at the ankle. A holster accessory is also available which allows the user to adjust the angle of carry, making the knife less obvious.
A 3.5 inch high carbon stainless steel black powder coated blade is still enough for effective self defense. Blade edges are available in either the traditional plain style or the recently popular serrated combo. The unique ergonomic design of the handle ensure a firm and safe grip.
The canted set of the blade is a shift from traditional views of what a blade weapon should be. This knife is designed for people more used to pistols than blade weapons, and is rigged to be grabbed and used with much the same wrist orientation. In traditional terms it’s somewhere between a dagger and a punch blade. Mentally that may take a little adjustment and practice.
Manufacturered to Ka-Bar’s usual high standards, this is definitely not a knife that civilians could explain away as a utility or sportsman’s tool.
