If you are going to buy a tactical knife, but do not know which one is better to choose, our article is designed to help you in this matter. We will consider the main characteristics of a tactical weapon and determine by what criteria you need to choose a weapon.
The tactical knife was created for use in combat, but according to current laws, it does not apply to melee weapons. Often in online stores, you can find knives classified as tactical, although they are not and this is just a marketing ploy. In order not to make a mistake when buying, we suggest that you figure out what the best tactical knife should be.
Determine the purpose of the knife
To choose a tool that will last you a long time and will successfully cope with the task, you must first determine what you will use it for. Tactical weapons have many uses. This is both used in the field (set up a camp, cook food, butcher a carcass), and in combat (protection from attacks, overcoming obstacles, throwing).
This issue is described in more detail in our article Where tactical knives are used.
