## Description

Product Description The TDI Law Enforcement Knife was designed to be used as a "last option" knife. In extreme close quarters encounters where a suspect is attempting to take an officer's handgun, or the officer cannot access his/her handgun, the TDI Knife is available. Designed as an "off hand" knife that draws like a pistol, the reversible sheath can be worn on either the right or left side of the officer's pant belt. Specifications: - Weight : 0.18 - Overall Length : 5 5/8" - Blade Length: 2 5/16" - Steel: AUS 8A stainless steel - Handle: Zytel. desertcart.com When you're chasing after a suspect, be sure to have the KA-BAR TDI Law Enforcement Tanto Knife in your possession. This high-performance knife comes with flexible Cordura straps to mount to duty belts, tactical vests, or underneath your pant leg. This lightweight, compact knife features a stainless steel blade with drop point shape and a versatile 15 degree blade angle. The Tanto Knife comes with either a straight or serrated edge. The comfortable handle is made from Zytel, providing a balanced grip and easy maneuverability. The flat blade is 3-11/16 inches long and the overall length is 7-9/16 inches. The knife includes a nylon sheath to protect the blade and keep it sharp. This is the knife that officers trust to provide the performance that they can rely on out in the field.

Review: Solid little blade - Other than the fact it’s stamped with “Made in Taiwan” right on the blade it an awesome little knife. I’ve only had it for a day so I can’t attest to its’ longevity but I’m only using it as a self defense weapon, not an everyday blade for opening boxes and such. It’s razor sharp out of the box. The weight feels good in your hand but isn’t not even noticeable when it’s on a belt or even gym shorts. It deploys easily if it’s anchored to a belt but a little trickier with gym shorts. It still deploys but you have to tug a bit harder to get it out which, is probably a good thing. The clip is reversible which is really nice. It gives you the choice to not only carry right or left side but you can choose which way the handle is positioned too. I reversed mine so when it’s on my right side the knife will deploy with the blade in my palm so it’s facing away from my body. I prefer this position as I can still close my fist easily with the handle in my hand. This is the preferred method of carry for self defense purposes. All-in-all I’m very happy with this knife. For the price point you can’t go wrong. I compared it to a lot of similar knives and I’m glad I chose this one.
Review: KaBar self defense knife. - This KaBar TDI is very well made in Taiwan. To all the people that say it's not a k-bar because it's not made in the US..wrong. Taiwan makes very very great knives all my Cold Steels are made in Taiwan. This knife fits very well into my big hands. It a punch stabber designed to be a last resort wepon if someone were to pin you down or attempt to take your sidearm. Its full tang AUS8A steel. Very sharp and sharpness back up very nice and easy. The sheath is well made too i like the way it clips to the belt strong. Conceals comfortably They do make different aftermarket sheath's for it if you prefer a different feel/look 10/10

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this knife a full tang ?**
A: Yes.

**Q: Is this considered a dagger in California?**
A: Yes, this is considered a dirk or dagger in California. However, it is perfectly legal to carry as long as it is on your belt. If it is sheathed on your belt, it is being carried openly. The exception to all of this is Los Angeles county, where you cannot carry a blade longer than 3", and obviously you cannot carry it in government buildings, schools, hospitals, etc. in any county. The relevant California penal code is 21310, and Los Angeles ordinances 13.62.010 - 020

**Q: This illegal in ca cause it is a defense tool and for no other purpose**
A: I use mine for work every day. It is a tool by definition. A knife has many purposes and not only for defense! It would never hold up in court with even a rookie lawyer!

**Q: description look like 2 different sheath's, does it come with 2?**
A: I only got one with mine. I don't recall seeing two sheath in the ad when I bought mine........ Its the hard black plastic sheath with the belt clip. It fits loose on most of my belts so I slip a 1/2' high steel bar between the under side of the clip and top of me belt...

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Solid little blade
*by T***Y on August 11, 2019*

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ holster works fine, very nice concealed carry knife
*by C***E on July 3, 2020*

Most of the reviews for the actual knife are excellent and I agree. I will address the negative reviews about the holster. The major complaint about the holster is that it is too tight and it is difficult to remove the knife. I disagree. As you can see from my pics the holster has a thumb grip to assist in removing the knife. A quick press results in an audible click as the knife releases and then it is free to grab. I would consider this a safety feature and not a con. The knife is always firmly in the holster until you want it. Anytime someone purchases a concealed weapon for self defense the expectation should be that they practice unholstering and "dry-firing" the weapon. I have had mine for a day and have probably randomly drawn it 100x already, each time becoming faster at clicking off the "safety" and withdrawing the weapon. This will insure muscle memory when I need it most. In my opinion: Great knife, great holster, but they sell aftermarket ones right here on Amazon that are looser if you just can't get used to it.
