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. This knife was not meant to be used as a pry bar; it was 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 soldiers and frontiersmen 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 UCAP (Up Close and Personal) is a mid-sized fixed blade knife that is well suited for everyday carry and a wide array of other uses. The UCAP was created with a defensive purpose in mind, but is also well equipped for various cutting chores, from first responder-type situations, outdoor activities, or just about anything else you can throw at it.  The handle is slightly shorter to allow easier concealment, but still offers a nice large blade.  Think 1911 CCO, an Officer-size frame with a Commander-length barrel.  

The UCAP has a bowie-style clip point blade made from Magnacut stainless steel with a Rockwell hardness rating of 62-63HRC. The knife features a 4.25" blade that includes a Tungsten Cerakote finish for corrosion resistance and durability.  Weighing in at only 5.2 ounces, the UCAP is deceptively light yet well-suited for everyday use and reliable as a tactical-style knife. The beveled and contoured G10 grips feature diagonal texturing that offers a very secure grip without being overly aggressive or uncomfortable, and perform well in wet or dry conditions.   

The UCAP comes with a molded Kydex scabbard with an inline belt clip suitable for IWB or OWB carry; it can also be easily clipped to a pocket.  The sheath is ambidextrous, allowing you a wide range of setup options.
