Product Definition:
A tactical knife is a type of knife that is designed for military or law enforcement use. Tactical knives are typically larger and more robust than ordinary pocket knives, and they are often equipped with features that make them suitable for use in combat or other hazardous situations. Some common features of tactical knives include: heavy-duty blades, aggressive serrations, stout handles, and durable construction.
Tactical knives have many applications in the military and law enforcement communities. They can be used for everything from opening boxes to cutting through ropes to defending against attackers. In addition, many tactical knifes come with built-in tools such as screwdrivers or flashlights which can be useful in emergency situations.
Smaller than 2 Inches:
Smaller than 2 inches is a new segment in tactical knives market. It was created after realizing the importance of size in choosing a knife for military or law enforcement purposes. A smaller than 2 inch blade is better suited for thrusting and slicing actions, which are primarily used during an attack or fight. A longer blade that’s wider than it is thick will hinder the use of any such knife as it's difficult to control and use as a weapon.
2-3 Inches:
2-3 inches is the standard length for a tactical knife. It's the shortest measurement that can be made without causing any harm to the overall functionality of a knife. The 2-3 inches size range is considered ideal for EDC (Every Day Carry) knives, which are used by civilians on daily basis.
