TBO100: TB Outdoor The Vengeur Survival Knife

TB Outdoor

The Vengeur (Avenger) is designed and manufactured entirely in TB Outdoor's factory in France. This survival dagger was developed on the basis of strict military specifications for the ALAT (Aircrew of the Army). The Vengeur allows you to get out of a vehicle following an accident or to help victims of an accident. The serrations of the blade allow to cut safety straps, seat belts, … etc. The glass breaker with a very substantial capacity (composed of a 4 mm tungsten carbide ball), makes it easy to overcome large thicknesses of glass or plexiglass. It has been designed to allow the extraction from a helicopter cockpit. The robustness of the blade even makes it possible to cut the windshield of a vehicle as a last resort to extract the occupants.

The Blade

The blade developed for the Vengeur is of the military type. It is reinforced with a thickness of 4mm in high alloy MOX® steel and coated with anti-reflective black PVD and very scratch resistant. A hard blade gives resistance over time to a razor-sharp and extremely durable cut given by robotic sharpening. The hardness of the steel of the Vengeur® is measured at 58Hrc mini.

The blade has a double-sided sharpening, straight on both sides and on two different planes. The Tanto shape originates from Japanese swords of antiquity. It allows maximum penetration while maintaining excellent rigidity without the fragility of a traditional tip. In a survival situation, the blade makes it possible to do batonnage effectively.

Despite its great hardness, the edge is very easy to maintain with the diamond plate provided and even in an emergency with a stone found in nature. The serrations made at the base of the blade over 3.7 cm make it possible to cut thick straps, ropes and to overcome the most critical situations. Second originality of the blade, we wanted to keep a smooth edge with a length of 1.5 cm near the guard of the knife in order to allow precision work on small objects A knife developed and designed to be 100% ambidextrous. Tactile polarizers on either side of the knife allow you to know its orientation even in complete darkness.

The Handle

The Vengeur, with a full tang blade to guarantee solidity, is equipped with a PA6 handle made of 30% glass beads for maximum robustness. This product has a special security system: it is impossible to remove the knife from the wearer if the knife is in its sheath. The knife and the sheath are united thanks to a snap button locking system: a snap button (male) on the sheath, a second (female) on the handle of the knife. To ensure ambidextrous use, but also to store it in its case more easily, the knife has a press stud on either side of the handle.

The handle is a concentrate of innovations. The window breaker unscrews and reveals a "firesteel". Screwed into the cavity of the handle, the firelighter remains attached to the knife in a completely sealed manner. The "firesteel" can be used with the toothed part located on the back of the blade in order to facilitate the creation of sparks allowing to quickly start a fire.

The direction of use of the knife is immediately identifiable by touch. The recess that allows the positioning of the thumb is provided with a different texture depending on the direction of the knife. The tactile feel of the texture present on both sides of this disbursement allows the knife bearer to instantly know which way the knife is pointing even in total darkness, whether wearing gloves or not. TB Outdoor has not forgotten the possibility of using paracord. The holes present on the window breaker, but also on the handle are provided to accommodate 550 Paracord.

The Vengeur knife can be worn on the belt, on the thigh, on the arm or on the torso. The kydex sheath is designed to receive the knife in both directions (right-handed or left-handed). On the Kydex sheath, a pointed cavity allows the evacuation of water following immersion. The water present on the blade or in the case is evacuated with the draining point in the Kydex case. The belt loop fitted as standard and delivered with the knife can be easily removed using two screws and a spacer (rubber spacer) according to your wishes. The Kydex holster compatible with standard MOLLE.
