KA-BAR TDI Law Enforcement Knife 1482

The fact that this knife's grip is the similar to a fire arms' grip make for muscle memory whether it is knife or gun that needs to come out of the holster for use.

Excellent overall

The knife itself is pretty good. Fit and finish is obviously not custom-made levels of perfection, but it's a great choice if what you're looking for is an EDC knife for primarily self-defense and odd do-it-all capability.
Keep in mind that the knife is somewhat on the larger side, but if you have larger paws like I do, it fits pretty much perfectly in hand.

My one complaint would be the Kydex sheath. It ships with velcro straps, which depending on how you intend to carry might make perfect sense. If you plan on carrying it concealed though, you will need to either alter the sheath, or get another one. In my case, a pair of Ulticlip SLIM 2.2s was the ticket, but you may want to get a claw of some sort as well to prevent the handle from printing through your upper garment.

Overall, it's a great product.

Large Kabar TDI

Super efficient supply and customer service! Thanks! I love the Kabar TDI large. Very positive, natural feel in the hand. The standard kydex sheath and belt loops are average. Once I've upgraded the sheath this Kabar will be my EDC.
