The Ka-Bar 1481 TDI Law Enforcement knife delivers rapid deployment capabilities in a compact fixed blade design. This tactical knife features a distinctive forward-cant angle that enables natural drawing motion from concealed carry positions.

What Makes This Different

The TDI (Tactical Defense Institute) design philosophy creates a knife optimized for close-quarters defensive situations. Unlike traditional straight knives, the forward-angled blade position allows for intuitive deployment even under stress. The 2.31-inch blade length meets legal carry requirements in most jurisdictions while providing sufficient cutting capability for tactical applications.

Key Features

  • AUS-8A stainless steel blade with black coating for corrosion resistance and reduced reflection
  • Partially serrated edge combines straight cutting with aggressive sawing capability
  • Drop point blade geometry provides controlled piercing and slicing performance
  • Reinforced Zytel handle construction withstands impact and temperature extremes
  • Integrated belt clip enables secure, low-profile carry without dedicated sheath
  • Textured grip surface maintains control in wet or gloved conditions
  • Single-piece construction eliminates potential failure points
The AUS-8A steel composition balances edge retention with resharpening ease, maintaining functional sharpness through extended use. Law enforcement professionals rely on this knife for equipment cutting, evidence processing, and emergency situations. The compact profile allows concealed carry as a backup tool without printing or interfering with primary equipment.
