Cold Steel 49HK Mini Tac Kiridashi. Cold Steel's new generation of Mini Tac Neck Knives are astonishingly light at 3 ounces each. Because they're so lightweight, they can be comfortably worn practically 24 hours a day. With their sturdy bead chain lanyards and their rugged Secure Ex sheaths (specially designed to snugly retain the knife while allowing a speedy draw stroke), they can be worn outside clothing and perform as a handy utility or rescue knife. They can also be carried more discreetly under a shirt or blouse, or inside a coat. They can even be used for camping or hiking as they can easily be tied or taped anywhere from a backpack to a fanny pack. Their versatility is virtually endless. Fashioned from AUS 8A stainless steel and reflecting state of the art heat treatment they are honed to a razor edge and exhibit incredible toughness for such a small knife, due in part to their full tang construction. Tough, rough, and ready for anything, they come equipped with thin high quality black Faux G-10 handle scales. This feature allows them to lie flat and close against the body and provide an aggressive gripping surface. Also when these scales are combined with integral sub hilt they give the fingers of the hand incredible purchase and allow a remarkably secure grip that resists rolling or twisting.
The Cold Steel Steel Mini Tac Kiridashi Knife features a 3.0" Japanese pocket or utility knife style blade of AUS8A stainless steel, 2.5mm thick. The ergonomic handle, 3.0" long, has textured G10 scales, an integral subhilt and a notched thumb ramp. A Secure-Ex sheath with lashing holes and removable bead chain is included. Overall length: 6.0". Weight: 2.3 ounces.
The blade profile is very slim even in its sheath and the integral subhilt makes it nearly impossible to slip out of your hand ( not to mention the VERY grippy G10 scales) and i cant see any way a finger could slip onto the blade which is pretty darn sharp. the overall length is pretty short, about the length of a dollar and the cutting surface of the blade is a little less than the width of a dollar. The weight is almost unnoticeable. And the sheath is pretty good it retains it well, there is a little rattle but it definitely wont fall out although I find mine is a little tricky to get back in the sheath at times. I personally wouldnt use this knife in a self defense situation but it could do the job without a doubt. Cold steel discontinued this and the beavertail so if I were you id get one while they last.
Thank you for the excellent customer service! My boyfriend loves his straight razor and likes your website! You may have a new regular customer, he has an extensive pocket knife collection. :)
