KA-BAR TDI Law Enforcement Plain Blade Knife -
In extreme close quarters encounters where a suspect is attempting to take an officer's handgun, or an officer cannot access his handgun, the TDI knife is available as a "last option" knife. When worn on the pant belt the entire unit - knife and sheath - is well concealed. Knife is designed by John Benner, founder and owner of Tactical Defense Institute.

Drop Point Blade -
This blade has a gentle, sloping convex curve to the point versus the concave curve of the clip blade. Being thicker, this blade point is stronger for heavier tasks. It stands up to abuse well, but isn't as effective for easy penetration.

AUS 8 -
A Japanese made medium carbon, high chromium stainless steel, which offers a good balance of toughness, edge sharpness and corrosion resistance.

Zytel -
A glass filled nylon material used in making handles for knives. DuPont trademark.

4.0 Rating a good, compact, way too heavy - 4/28/2011TDI Law Enforcement Straight Edge Knife KA-BAR 5 5/8" Overall Black 2" AUS 8A Stainless Steel Blade Zytel Handle Sheath4.0000
Reviewer: CCW
Keeping in mind this is not a "fighting knife" but a last ditch OMG I need something now close quarters knife, this is a very good idea. I was a little shocked at how needlessly heavy it was, with most of the weight being in the handle that seemed to be made of cast iron or something even though it of course isn't. The concept over all is right on but for an emergency last ditch back up its a lot of weight to carry around. The handle sticks up pretty good too, so you will want to keep in concealed. The blade was solid and came fairly sharp (but if you like sharp edges you will want to sharpen it right out of the box). The point really could have been designed with a little more tapering especially a little on the top edge. The tip isn't blunt, but it doesn't seem particularly optimal for punch style defense jabs, which is how they advertise it in the first place. Now that I have one, I will keep it and probably get the slightly longer tanto style one. If you are only going to get one, I recommend getting the longer one with the pointer blade unless you really need the compact size of this one. A good little defensive knife though.

Awesome little knife. I keep it secured in my side cargo pocket for those "just in case" purposes. The handle fits my hand perfectly and feels as strong as steel. Very good.

Well worth the money , very sharp blade & sharp looking . Tight fit in sheath. I will be getting 1 for my wife and 2 daughters .Very good for self defense at close range or last ditch effort. I'd give 6 bullets if I could .
3.0 Rating It's ok - 3/20/2011TDI Law Enforcement Straight Edge Knife KA-BAR 5 5/8" Overall Black 2" AUS 8A Stainless Steel Blade Zytel Handle Sheath3.0000
Reviewer: haynes
I ordered this knife for self defense carry and it fits my hand great, but factory edge was no good. Not 2 mention I'm a little round around the mid section and the handle digs at me somtimes, and its made in Taiwan was a big bummer but all in all u get what u pay for.

Reviewer: Bob
My TDI arrived today. It a very nice knife. Fits and wears comfortably. Very solid. My only negative comment is the blade was dull and poorly ground.
