Product Information

Even a quick glance out of the corner of your eye will convince you that this is no ordinary tactical knife. You can tell by the dramatic, take-no-prisoners profile that the Kiowa—yes, it's named after that attack helicopter—is a knife to be reckoned with. Owing to its 3" blade in matte black. Its gnarly serrated section for sawing. And its handy for easy attachment.

The handle is aggressively sculpted of , with skateboard tape inserts for extra control in tough scenarios. Finger positions are ideally configured for ergonomic efficiency and comfort in multiple defensive postures.

As hard-charging folders go, a guy can do a whole lot worse than the Kiowa. Question is, why the devil would you accept less?

Tanto
Tanto Blade: The classic Japanese tanto shape has the point exactly inline with the spine of the blade, and has a graceful belly curve. Most tantos seen on the American cutlery market are the Americanized tanto format. Like the Japanese tanto, the Americanized tanto has a high-point in-line with the spine. A flat grind is applied to the point, leaving it very thick and massively strong. The front edge meets the bottom edge at an obtuse angle, rather than curving to meet it as in the Japanese tanto. There is a separate grind applied to the bottom edge, often a hollow grind to leave this edge extremely sharp. Other tanto formats have become popular also, and modifications such as clipping the point or applying a chisel-grind are often seen.
Blade Type: Serrated
Handle Material: Glass filled nylon
Glass filled nylon
Glass Filled Nylon Material: Many of today's thermoplastic materials are improved by adding chopped glass fibers. Often as much as 40% of a product may be glass. Adds great strength.

i have carried this knife for a about a year now. i have had no problems with it and i would get it again. i give it a 4 because the black finish on the blade can wear off over time.
