Description

KA1493: TDI Investigator Knife

KA-BAR Knives

A smaller more discreet version of the TDI Law Enforcement Knife, the TDI Investigator provides a discreet backup when you back is against the wall. Designed to protect law enforcement officers, this knife clips onto a belt for those times when an officer's firearm isn't an option. The drop point blade is made from AUS-8A stainless steel with a tactical black coating that reduces visibility. The nylon handles are similarly black in coloration and provide a good grip for use in a pinch. The clip sheath is made from hard molded plastic and keeps the knife safe and secure when not in use.

Pros: Weight, Handle Material, Overall Quality, Blade Material, Sheath/Scabbard, Materials, Finish, Blade Sharpness
Cons: None
Great knife
Very light, can be deployed quickly, easily concealed- even on the waistband of jersey shorts. I use it as an EDC for defense, and also use it for anything that needs a blade. I will be getting at least one more. The sheath is solid, as well.

One of my favorites
I absolutely love this knife (I own two of them). It's borderline perfection IMO for EDC. Extremely concealable (zero footprint), razor sharp, rapid deployment is second to none and adds an unnoticeable amount of weight at 2.40 0z. Very pleased with my purchase!
