Disabled Veteran Honest Review
Well, folks, let me tell you a tale that might just slice through your hearts with a bit of laughter and a whole lot of gospel truth. I'm talking about the KA-BAR 1481 TDI Law Enforcement Serrated Edge Knife, the small wonder that's been my constant companion since Aug 8, 2016. Now, this knife has been through more than a few slices and dices, but trust me, the only thing that has my trust more than this piece of steel is Jesus Christ, the giver and taker of life, and the eternal soul caretaker for those who believe in His life, death, and resurrection for our sins. You see, this KA-BAR knife was my trusty sidekick not just in the daily grind but also during my military service. I remember once, during a particularly grueling obstacle course, I had to crawl under barbed wire, jump over walls, and squat behind boulders. This little knife was like the apostle Paul, always there, always reliable, and never once did it fall out of its sheath—because, let’s be honest, you don't want to be looking for your knife while you're being shot at! It stayed on my belt, secure as the gates of Heaven, no matter how much I ran, jumped, or squatted. The blade detail on this baby is a combo edge, 2 5/16 inches of black, fully serrated AUS 8A stainless steel. Now, I know what you're thinking—why does a man of God need such a formidable tool? Well, just like the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God, this knife has been a powerful tool in my life. It’s not just a weapon; it’s a testament to the quality and craftsmanship of a product that didn’t come from some cheap factory in China. No, sir! This is a high-quality, made product that has stood the test of time, just like the Word of God. The handle is made from black Zytel, which is as comfortable as a warm hug from a church elder. And let’s not forget the carry system—a hard plastic sheath with a metal belt clip. It’s as secure as the promise of eternal life. I can’t tell you how many times this knife has come in handy, from cutting ropes in a rescue mission to slicing bread at a homeless shelter. It’s a tool that brings both practical and spiritual comfort. If I had to do it all over again, I would buy this knife 10,000 times over. It’s not just a knife; it’s a symbol of God’s provision and protection. And let me tell you, if you’re in first responder, law enforcement, or the military, this is a must-have. It’s like having a little piece of heaven right here on earth, ready to serve and protect, just as we are called to do in Christ’s name. So, dear brothers and sisters in Christ, if you ever find yourself in a situation where you need a reliable, sturdy, and well-crafted knife, remember this KA-BAR 1481 TDI. It’s a tool that has proven its worth time and time again, much like the steadfast love of our Lord. And if it can handle the rigors of military service and everyday use, it can certainly handle whatever life throws your way. But remember, while it’s a great tool, it’s no substitute for the grace and love of Jesus Christ. Amen!

Great little knife, does what it was desgin for.
Great little sticker. It hides very well. The clip has a little lip on it so it snaps to a belt really well so you can pull out the knife and the shelth won't come with it. The knife locks in really nice and deff would bring the sheflt with it if it wasn't for that little lip locking it in. Love the way it's bent, fits perfectly in the hand and perfect if your weserling over a holstered firearm. Deff does what it was designed for.

May be the ultimate CCW defense knife.
I opted for serrated to more quickly be able to cut through seat belts should it ever be needed for an accidental submersion. The grip has indentions for the index finger to help lock it into the grip and, as I understand it, it is considered to be one of the easiest to use defensive knives with even minimal to no knife combat training. It's designed as a backup for law enforcement should they be involved in an altercation for control of their primary weapon, but it works serviceably for concealed carry as well. The metal clip dose not allow a shirt to be tucked between it and the sheath, but it does hold very firmly to a belt and the knife stays in the sheath very well. As it is intended for emergency use only, a serrated blade seems optimal since it will cut most things more easily even if it were dull and with a more jagged cut. I cannot say much about the quality of the steel other than it seems adequate for the purpose and the price is phenomenal for the capability. It is definitely not a multipurpose knife and is not one I would consider for a utility knife. One would be hard-pressed to find a more optimal CCW for anything approaching its economy.

Perfect backup blade
Great low profile knife you can carry anywhere. I never leave my apartment without it. It attaches to a belt with a very sturdy clip and lays flat against the body. Can't see it even with just a T shirt. The handle is right where it should be and grabbing it after a few practice runs is very intuitive. Also, the sheath is very tight & there's no wiggle or noise at all. The full serrations make this small blade a formidable weapon. It's made for police etc. as a retention weapon, which it will definitely work for but it's also perfect for any close up encounter where the aggressor has already closed the gap and you have no room to work. For the price & the small amount of space it takes up on your belt it's worth getting one and trying it for yourself.

The knife is amazing! Great ergonomics and superior quality. Both standard and reverse grip feel very natural and comfortable with the TDI. The clip that is attached tonthe sheath is well made an strong. The only problem is with the sheath retention is horrible. This would be the perfect knife if the sheath retention was better. This knife is small and barely noticeble when it is on your waist. 👍👍

Coltello molto particolare nella forma,anche se di piccole dimensioni è di ottima fattura e la qualità dell’acciaio è buona. Arriva già molto affilato. Che dire Ka-Bar è una garanzia!!! Amazon come sempre è impeccabile!!!

Amazing Knife, comfy to wear and hold. Comes razor sharp out of the box. I could wear this all day without discomfort. Quality is above the rest. Perfect ergonomic handle and supports the wrist and arm when thrusting forward.

This knife has lots of reviews explaining how it’s intended to be carried, deployed, and used. Do there’s no need to repeat that here. It well built, rugged and no doubt will perform as intended. The same can be said about most Ka-Bar Knives.
