How to choose the best tactical knife

Apr 15, 2022

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.

Structural features

  • An excellent military weapon should have the following design parameters:

  • Blade length: 14-18 cm

  • Butt thickness: 3-5 mm

The handle is better to choose from wood, hornbeam, and polymeric materials. Craftsmen from Zlatoust create unique products by decorating the handle with various compositions (Plexiglas, leather, cupronickel inserts), which does not affect the functionality in any way, but makes the tool exclusive.

Jackknife

A separate and frequently encountered category of tactical weapons is a folding knife. What are its advantages?
