Ka-Bar TDI Pocket Strike Fixed Blade Knife, AUS 8A, Ka2491
[Ka2491]

Interesting design, much more useful than the more extremely bent TDI knives. Built for a larger hand, little finger through the Karambit-like ring at the rear of the hilt. A small hand like mine can fit ahead of the ring, and hold the knife in a scalpel-like grip. A person with a medium-sized hand may find it awkward or not. The black stealth coating on knives is often very rough which could slow a cut, I gently hand-polished the roughest top bits off the blade with 400 grit wet&dry sandpaper so it is smooth. The sheath is way tight, two bits pinch the blade just behind the shoulder. I filed these smaller so the knife can be removed with less effort. Maybe it might be easier in US Florida 75°F weather, but in Canadian 60°F weather it needs modification. I may cut away part of the sheath on the edge side of the handle, I like to be able to get fingers on the hilts and quietly “squirt” the knife from the sheath with my thumb. I’m very happy with my purchase.
