Last Updated: August 23, Cold Steel has really been making a statement in with their new and improved lines of lightweight and ultra strong folders.
Their updated series of Cold Steel Voyagers has really built up some buzz, and rightfully so. But keep in mind that the Cold Steel roster runs much deeper I can try to do this under the pretense that I am offering the reader some noble service, and perhaps even some entertainment, but lets Jody handles fabrication and Lance comes up with the designs.
The result has been a number of award winning tactical knife designs and superbly Need something capable of holding off an army of blood thirsty Persians? Consider the Cold Steel Spartan. Thankfully, Cold Steel is around to In many ways the ]SOG Aegis is emblematic of a protector as well. This is a sprint run limited edition knife limited to around pieces. SOG got their start with one fixed blade combat knife.
Thankfully that knife was popular so we now have many SOG knives to enjoy today. Last Updated: July 15, I love it when knife companies refine their existing designs. Cold Steel did just that with their latest version of the Cold Steel Recon 1. They have eschewed the more mainstream model of production knife design, which typically involves a team of in-house designers and a deep roster of freelancers, instead favoring a one man approach.
But if you want something that is both hard use and high value, it gets a Last Updated: July 31, The Spyderco Manix 2 is one of those knives that I have been meaning to review pretty much since the start of this website. Last Updated: August 11, To the average person the pocket knife has remained virtually unchanged over the years.
But as collectors and enthusiasts know, this industry is full of innovation. In fact, I argue that there has been more innovation in knife design over the past 20 years than in the previous years. Buy the CQC The Benchmade is another one of those classic Benchmade knives.
This is a father and stepson team that invented the Axis lock. I remember when I first saw this blade at a local gun show. A gateway blade into the world of high end pocket knives. I guess the only reasonable answer is to buy two of these, one for carry and the Rick has been making knives and self defense weapons for over 20 years. He started out specializing in Damascus and art knives, but over the past decade has It has stood the test of time and remains popular to this day.

If anything happens to your knife through use or misuse, ESEE will replace it — When Zero Tolerance first came on the scene the is one of their knives that really caught my eye. The graceful curves reminded me of some deep sea mammal while the construction reminded me of a semi truck.
What other knife solves the age old dilemma of carrying a plain edge or a serrated edge so effortlessly? Last Updated: August 3, The original Benchmade Bedlam is an automatic knife released in early The knife received rave reviews across the community and this large, middle eastern inspired knife was quickly deemed to be a new Benchmade classic.
However, the knife was only available as an automatic, which is totally sweet, Last updated: February 14, Those in the military, law enforcement and contract defense firms require high quality gear designed to meet the rigorous demands of these types of positions.
The Spyderco Military was designed to meet these demands as either a large utility knife or a full on tactical blade. In addition to law enforcement Last Updated: August 21, Once in a while you run into a knife that really blows you away. The Benchmade Onslaught is certainly one of those breathtaking knives for me. Designed by the late Bob Lum, the Onslaught is a large and elegant folding tactical knife that speaks to me on a lot Basic Information This knife has a large 4.
The large tanto blade, urban camo paint job, and large non-functional serrations on the back of the blade add to The first decision you will have to make is whether you want a fixed blade or folding tactical knife. If you are in the military, law enforcement or are some sort of contract defense personnel,you are probably going to want a fixed blade knife as your primary blade.
If you are selecting a back up blade, or plan on carrying the knife regularly in a civilian role as say, an emergency defensive weapon a folding knife could be a good option. As far as locks go, I would be more likely to go with a frame lock, axis lock or lock back, although a sturdy liner lock could work if it is built properly.
You do not want this knife closing on you while defending yourself. Deployment is critical. A fixed blade knife is going to have the fastest deployment, and it will be the ideal type of knife for defensive situations. If you are set on a folder, consider something that is extremely fast and easy to deploy. Spyderco and Benchmade are known for their smooth and fast deploying knives although it really depends on the individual knife.
Zero Tolerance makes some great assisted opening tactical knives, as well as Emerson Knives with their wave deployments. For tactical knives, generally speaking, the bigger the blade the better. Reach is so important when fighting close quarters with knives. An extra inch of reach on your opponent could make a huge difference in the final outcome of a confrontation.
For that reason, I would advise getting as long of a blade as you can reasonably carry given factors like weight, blade shape, ergonomics, etc. Length will arguably be the most critical blade characteristic when selecting your tactical knife.
Blade shape is another important factor to consider. Since you will most likely be engaged in various thrusting or piercing movements with the knife, a sharp and reinforced tip will be critical. You want to do this because fine tips can break, be it on bone or some other surface while fighting. If you snap your tip off on a concrete wall while trying to defend yourself, it could make a huge difference.
Also, consider something that has 2 edges, like a dagger or a knife with a sharpened swedge. This not only makes piercing attacks more effective, but it allows you to use both sides of the knife when performing sweeping attacks.
Now, I might argue that the handle is going to be more important than the blade. Now obviously, you need both for a good tactical knife, but without a large handle, the knife will be worthless. This is because you need the handle to be able to grip the knife comfortably, in a variety of grips. The handle has to be comfortable at least for forward and reverse grips, and ideally it should feel good for many more types of grips.
Also, I would advise buying a knife with a big handle. This not only gives your hand plenty of real estate, but it allows you to gain a little extra length on the overall size of the knife by holding the knife back on the handle by the pommel. That extra reach could be just want you need. These were just some basic ideas to consider when purchasing a tactical knife. These are my personal opinions.

Nice choices Michael! Thanks for providing some thoughts and sharing your experience! GreyOne Elder Lifetime Supporter. I think he covered it when he said "This is a collector item. I'll never use it as a knife. Seems like that would be a lot more useable in the long run. Panzer Prepared Wanderer Supporter. Bushclass I. Anyone else cringe when he pried the caps off with the knife tip??
Panzer said:. Fishguts Bushclass I. Looks like a too fat blade, but D A N G I want that thing! Most effective as a bludgeon, a bludgeon with many cool doodads. Gotta admit, when he pulled out the exta knife blade and saw from that compartment I was hooked! Mac Elder. Joined Dec 11, Messages 54, Likes 2, Ok I'm sorry gang I gotta jump in here. I'll admit, it was very cool looking and gimicky, but Most of us here got that same kit but better we got little hobo fishing rigs, we cary hooks, sinkers, bobbers, leaders etc, we all use a much better blade then that, we cary foldin saws, or SAKs with saws We got all that stuff, and tools designed specifcaly for their intended purpose.
I suppose havin somethin like that would be better then not havin nuthin at all, but we here are all better then that.
