The KA-BAR TDI Original was created in collaboration with John Benner (Tactical Defense Institute) as an effective “last-ditch” knife. The short, wide drop-point blade made of Japanese AUS-8 steel with a black anti-reflective finish provides quick penetration, reliable cutting, and low glare. Thanks to its full-tang construction, the knife is exceptionally strong and ready for demanding duty and everyday tasks.

The textured Zytel handle ensures a safe and comfortable hold even with gloves or in wet conditions. Its compact size makes concealed carry and immediate draw easier. The included polymer sheath ensures secure retention and quick access.
