RMJASIADO: Combat Asia Fixed Blade, Dirty Olive G10

RMJ Tactical

Years ago when Ryan Johnson was making a special order knife for a SWAT team member, a good friend and resident critic John came by the shop to look the knife over. "The tip is too narrow and thin," he said. "It will break if the person using the knife tries to pry something open." Ryan told him that this knife was not meant to be used as a pry-bar, just for cutting.

John then said something that both defined the word "tactical" and, most importantly, changed Ryan's design paradigm forever: "The situations this person finds himself in should determine what this knife is used for. If he needs to cut something, it cuts. If he has to pry a door open, it's a pry-bar. These are high-energy situations where every second counts. You can't carry everything you would like to carry; the knife will have to be able to complete a multitude of tasks."

In a perfect world, a soldier or law enforcement officer would have ready access to all of the tools and weapons he ever needed, but that just isn't possible. It takes more than an aggressive look or a gray and black finish to make a fixed blade a tactical knife. Remember, knives meet the needs of the soldiers and frontiersman as both a tool and weapon in the battlefield conditions they encounter. In Ryan's view, a contemporary tactical fixed blade should be able to withstand all modern battlefield conditions — areas ranging from the Salt Lake City, Utah, Olympics, to the Jungles of South America, to the rugged mountains in Afghanistan. (RMJ Tactical knives have been carried in all three).

The Combat Asia is a modern tanto-fighter built for hard use. Measuring 12" overall with a 7.125" blade of tough 80CrV2 carbon steel, this knife is designed to handle extreme conditions. The oversized 1/4" stock provides exceptional strength, while a deep fuller reduces weight and enhances penetration. Its tanto tip excels at puncturing, while the curved belly improves slicing performance. A rugged Tungsten Cerakote finish boosts durability and corrosion resistance while maintaining a low-profile appearance.

The full-tang handle is fitted with 3D-contoured G10 scales, offering a secure grip in any environment. Paired with a versatile Kydex scabbard featuring a drop attachment, it’s ready for belt or MOLLE carry, ensuring quick access when it matters most.

For the big fixed blade fan
Purchased the black handle variant. Have the RMJ Tactical Africa and when I saw this tanto version, I couldn't help myself. These knives may trend in the sharpened crow bar direction, but with a hollow grind, they'll slice. That said, not the sort of blade you get for the subtlety, and it's not intended for fine bushcraft work. It's more of a "what if you're all alone and you run into a bear riding a tank" sort of knife. Or perhaps more honestly, it's a knife you purchase because you want it, not because of its practicality (unless your spouse is asking, then it's totally a practical item, more tool than blade). One thing that sets the Asia apart from the Africa are the pronounced vertical lines worked into the blade grinds. There's something similar going on in the Africa, but there it feels more like evidence of a knife ground by hand than an intentional design element. No idea if they serve any practical purpose but adds an aesthetic element that does set the blade apart. Beautiful fit and finish from RMJ Tactical, don't think many would be disappointed with the knife.
