KaBar TDI Law Enforcement Knife 1480 Compact Last Option Tactical EDC For Officers

The Ka-Bar TDI Law Enforcement Knife 1480 is a compact, purpose-built last-option tool designed for officers who may need an off-hand draw in extreme close-quarters. Its rugged construction and pistol-like deployment help responders react quickly when access to a firearm is compromised.

• Overall Length: 5 5/8" for a balance of concealability and reach.
• Blade: 2 3/8" black powder-coated AUS-8A stainless steel, drop point, standard edge for reliable cutting and edge retention.
• Construction: Full tang for maximum strength and durability in demanding situations.
• Handle: Black textured Zytel for a secure, comfortable grip in wet or gloved hands.
• Sheath: Black glass-filled nylon belt sheath, reversible for right- or left-side carry to support off-hand deployment.
• Design Purpose: Specifically engineered as an off-hand, last-option knife that can be drawn quickly in a manner similar to a pistol draw when a suspect blocks handgun access or when the firearm isn’t readily accessible.

In practice, this knife provides a discreet, dependable option that complements standard duty tools during patrols, close-quarters encounters, or scenes requiring rapid response. The full-tang construction and textured grip ensure control under stress, while the powder-coated blade reduces glare and enhances durability. The reversible sheath adds flexibility for officers who prefer off-hand readiness on either side of the belt, helping to maintain situational awareness and swift access when every second counts.
