KA-BAR TDI Pocket Strike 3.19-Inch Fixed Blade Knife Black

The KA-BAR TDI Pocket Strike is a compact fixed-blade knife created for discreet, accessible pocket carry. Designed by John Benner of the Tactical Defense Institute, this black model combines a distinctive curved profile with a large ring loop at the end of the handle. The loop provides an easy-to-locate contact point when the knife is carried in its sheath, while the nylon/fiberglass handle offers a practical gripping surface without adding unnecessary bulk. Its 3.1875-inch plain-edge drop-point blade is made from AUS 8A stainless steel and finished in black to match the handle and sheath. A hollow grind supports controlled cutting performance, and the blade is hardened to 57-59 HRC. At 7.75 inches overall, the Pocket Strike provides the reach and handling of a fixed blade while remaining compact enough for its intended pocket-carry configuration. The included hard plastic sheath is designed to rest inside a pants pocket, with the clip positioned on the outside. The clip is reversible, allowing the carry arrangement to be adjusted for the user’s preferred side or orientation. The sheath’s extended exterior contours help it remain in place during a deliberate draw, and the ring loop makes the handle easier to identify by touch. Because the knife has an ambidextrous design, it can be incorporated into either right- or left-handed carry setups. This exact variant features a 1.675-inch-wide blade, a 20-degree edge angle and the KA-BAR/TDI tang marking. Both the knife and its fitted sheath are manufactured in Taiwan. The Pocket Strike is a purpose-built choice for customers who prefer the immediate access and straightforward operation of a fixed blade in a compact, unconventional pocket-carry format. As with any fixed-blade knife, users should confirm applicable carry laws and keep the blade fully seated in its sheath whenever it is not in use.
