Tactical knives were developed initially for military use. They need to be capable of use in combat (not applicable in New Zealand), for hunting and survival and just about anything. The all-round strength and long-lasting sharpness of a 440C Tactical knife means they can be used in almost any situation, on the farm, on the hill, for survival or round the home.
The Tactical model is made using the full tang construction method resulting in the strongest possible knife.
The blade and tang are cut and ground from a solid bar of 440C stainless steel, then ebony handle pieces are added.
Ebony provides an attractive and durable handle material.
The front of the handle is notched top and bottom to facilitate excellent grip.
The blade is hollow ground top and bottom then a fine cutting edge is applied.
440C stainless steel is is used because of its superior hardness, holding a cutting edge long after most knives are blunt.
The result is a knife that will withstand all hunting uses in all seasons and provide excellent service in survival situations.
The sheath is sewn from three layers of cowhide leather providing a durable, cut-proof carrying container.
We offer an excellent engraving service to make your knife truly yours. Double line diamond engraving, up to 10 letters long, turns a great knife into a great gift!
