I carried this knife for two years while in the patrol bureau. I loved it. No one even noticed it on my belt. I (thankfully) never had to use it for it's intended purpose, but by holding the knife you can tell it is well made and would withstand quite a bit of punishment.

My husband has this and I am relieved he does. I (like him) am thankful he has not had to use to, however better to have it and not use it then not have it & need it.

Great knife, easy to conceal.

Just the right size for a "crisis" edged weapon on my kit...great edge, great feel

A great tool to keep on your belt. Hides easily behind your radio or other equipment and is easily unsheathed to ward off any attackers that might be trying to disarm an officer. If you get ambushed, this is a great tool to counter that ambush.

Awesome knife. I recommend the smaller version, as the large version tends to sit on the hip bone uncomfortably while seated in a vehicle.

This is a very well made knife. Very heavy blade will hold its edge through a lot of punishment. I have carried this knife for about 8 months and I love it.

They also make a training knife just like this one. Train, train, train....to ingrain

Good knife, I carry this one mostly in colder weather when I wear two shirts. Ka-Bar now makes a metal clip that attaches to the sheath for more carry option. Overall, good knife.

great for cqb

AWSOME

Great knife, great feel, lightweight, and easily accessed without most people realizing you are carrying it.

Love the knife. I found it is easier for me to attach it with zip ties to my magazine pouch so I do not have to change it out when I switch uniforms.

great product, affordable, hold a nice edge even after being sharpened, great for weak side carry/cross draw cutting. light enough to carry at all times.

THIS KNIFE IS AWESOME. ITS SMALL AND YOU CAN EASILY ACCESS IT IF YOU EVER NEED IT. AND I CANT COMPLAIN ABOUT THE PRICE. JARHEAD TESTED AND APPROVED.

I love this knife and have been carrying it for over two years since it first came out. The greatest thing about it is no one knows its there where I carry it and it is out in the open. I can get to it in a hurry and god help the dirtbag who trys to go for my gun.

Got to have it.

vicious blade

It's small and light weight and can be carried any where on your person unseen. The fixed blade makes for quick and easy use.

Great little knife...easy to conceal...easy to use

Carry this knife behind my mag puch I pray I never need it but but I am happy I have it. Holds a wonderful edge and the holsters retention is just right.

great "last resort" knife. would like it to have a little more retention

I love mine in a sport coat.

Love the knife.. actually carry it on duty.. Would like a more functional holster though.

I have the ankle holster, great for consealment and surprise.

Just recieved this as a gift. Feels good and looks cool!

Great knife for its intended purpose, "life" insurance. I don't use it for daily functions, I keep it to save my life. I will restate rrussell1981's comment, that the sheath has "slight" retention. You need to check it periodically, so u don't find it on your Crown Vic's rocker panel, like I have done in the past. I carry it everyday and for light off duty protection when I cant carry a gun.

Good knife, good value.

i carry this on duty very useful wouldnt go back to my original knife

Great knife, easy to conceal, sheath can be changed according to needs. Highly recommended.

Great knife! Easily concealed, department purchased and recieved the boot version for a gift. Never leave home without it.

great little knife. been carrying the fully serrated for about a year it really fills a need for defense

I have employed the use of the TDI on time since purchasing it nearly two years ago. I was caught off guard and the guy who surprised me from behind nearly pooped his pants when I had it against his abdomen. This is one of my best tools I have owned in 18 years as a LEO.

Great little knife one of the best L.E. knives on the market.

great in emergency for cutting belts

looks cool....

Looks good, but is it ok to use with minor utility tasks?

Love it. However I only use it as back-up to my folding knife.

Great last resort. I wear it with my dutybult and would not go to work without it.

great knife... very sharp... i take it to work everyday

I'll give it three stars on what I hear from LEOs who love it. I do like the fit in my hand, but I'm not sold yet. Not really my style of knife.

Great Knife!

ya way to sharp i just cut my self with this knife and had to see a dr.

kabar has always made quality knives. this one is no exception

Great knife for under your duty belt! They also offer a boot knife version!

I hope I never have to use it but its great to carry and easy to hide, nice and light

Great knife, carry one on my belt and one on my ankle. I prefer the straight blade tanto, but it is a little big for some to carry.

Great blade. I carry it as a backup on the ankle rig.

I love this thing, it is my back up weapon

This is a great tactical knife. And you can conceal it pretty much any where. My only problem with the knife is the rivets on the shieth. I have seen alot of them give out.

dont have one but seems like a good knife

I cary this knife on duty on an ankel rig and it is great. I can get to it fast and with either hand. Once in han it feels like an extention of your hand. God forbid I ever have to use it on someone but I feel more confident knowing it's there.

Great knife for a great price.

Good knife but in my opinion it is too easily drawn from the sheath. I wore it on my inner belt for a few months and was concerned that it could be too easily drawn by a bad guy. All other weapons on my duty belt have some sort of release that one must depress before the weapon can be drawn, thus I don't feel uncomfortable going hands on and mixing it up with an AP even if his hands make it to my waist. I know that it is going to take some focused attention on his part to draw that weapon, something which I do not plan on allowing him time to do. But, this sheath has no tricks...just pull and the knife is out very easily. And, it is not quite so obscure as some people think it is. Other officers immediately saw it on my belt, despite the fact I placed it in the most inconspicuous place possible on my rig. Officers were not the only one's that noticed either...some AP's also saw it and commented. Thus, I moved it to an ankle holster and carried it there for a few months until I got into a foot chase that ended in a brief altercation at the end of which I was disturbed to see that my k-bar had fallen out of the holster and was lying on the ground right next to the bad guy. I like the knife but I cannot and will not trust that sheath. Very dissapointing

great knife. Can be a little tricky to get back in the sheath though

Awsome little knife!!!!!!!!!!!

This is a MUST for LEO's. Its a great little "gun retention" tool and an awesome back up when things go bad at close quarters. Its barely visible yet easy to access, I've been wearing one for years. They make a nice training version too, and its all VERY inexpensive.

I have this knife and also the ankle knife. I have carried both and were very pleased. I worked UC for five years and was able to carry the knives with out detection. Great concept, very sharp blade, and easy carry.

some of the units here have them and they enjoy really like them

part of the arsenal on the duty belt. One can never tell if the "last option" may be used. Very compact and comfortable. I wear mine behind my radio pouch, very easy to hind from people when they look at you.

this knife comes in handy in close quarters

Great defensive weapon

Carried this product for three years now, used it once on a rabid dog that my key chain spray did nothing to, took a good chunk of his nose off. I was off duty, but I would recommend this for any legal carry for LEO, security, etc..

I have carried this knife since it was marketed very well designed. The designer of this knife is extremely knowledgable TDI is in my county and is where we do our qualifications

Very well crafted, amazing feel and comes through in a tight spot

Razor sharp, plenty of mounting options, eazy to conceal, what's not to like?

good product, keeps good edge easily concealed and ready for that last resort.

Conceals great... Great design.... Appears to be a great "last line of defense" (meaning I hope I never have to use it)

Hope I never have to use it. I had to purchase one after reading another members post . Thanks Hoop!

I have carried my Kabar for at least 3 years now. It has been a very good investment. Buy one NOW!!

Been carrying this since it came out. feels great in the hand

I have carried this weapon for about one year. i have it on my inner belt behind my mag pouch. It is great as a back up.

Best knife I have ever carried on duty.

This is the best non-firearm back up weapon that you could carry, with a little proper training this could save your life.

Sharpens easily and holds a good edge. It fits securely in the hand, and it is easily concealed. Much more practical as a last resort defense weapon than a folder. Officers can immediately put it into action without having to worry about opening the blade and locking it in place.

In the heat of a life and death battle, most of us can only count on gross motor skills. Opening a folding knife to employ during a struggle is risky at best. The TDI/Kabar really fills this gap nicely, being "always on" and ready to go. Grab, slice and dice, survive. I would like to see slightly wider belt loop hole on the holster and an adjustable tension for draw stroke. Otherwise I've been carrying one for about a year and a half with no problems.

The way this knife is deployed reduces its overall versatility. It takes too much "getting used to". I find traditional straight blades to be easier to deploy with less training. Think about your kitchen knives. Do any of them look like this? Fixed or folder, straight blades are far easier to use.

I absolutely love it.

Outstanding knife to have for your back-up!

very awsome knife.....I carry it and love it

Awesome knife ! Great price ! Good training program. Very concealable. I often carry it off duty in situations where carrying a firearm isn't practical.

Carrying this knife on my vest carrier for two years and also have one laced into my boots been there for about 5 months. Really great knife holds its edge and cuts seat belts and so forth with ease

Very easy to handle, lightwieght, and east to conceal

Great knife for close quarters. Not your avarage pocket knife. Great product.

GREAT FOR YOUR PERSON AND A GOOD PRICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just bought one about two months ago and took the class on using it. Great idea and a perfect last resort weapon.

great product I useto carry it all the time!

Worn on side opposite of firearm, it fits behind duty belt fairly concealed, but easily accessed. A good tactical option when defending holstered firearm. Fixed blade and ergonomic design makes it quick to employ!

I LOVE MY K-BAR , ITTS VERY ACCESSABLE AND DEPENDABLE

I good knife to carry on the duty belt. The curved handle does not poke your side while in the car, it blends in with the uniform, and a quick way to respond with in a time of need.

I love this knife. I carry it on my BDU belt, behind my mag holder. I also carry it off duty with the inside the waist clip. I think if you're looking for a defense knife, this is it. It can be drawn in under 0.90 sec. Try to do that with a folding knife thats clipped in your pocket. If you are interested go to youtube.com and type in Kabar TDI knife and there is a great demo video.

carry it on my leg under . feels good in the hand but looks funky.

Hands down, the best knife i have ever owned. Mine is larger than this one and its very durable. Dont go anywere with out it.

Love it ..money well spent for this back up knife for swat call outs

Best gift I've gotten in a long time. Great knife.

I recently bought this knife, I have to say it is barely visible and it is a tough knife. I'd hate to be on the recieving end of this knife when it gets used. I am a knife freak especially when I am working, I have seen too many times where officers get hurt or even killed by not having enough equipment.

I keep this little knife Velcro'ed to my vest. I love it. It is ideal in size for concealing, and ideal in design for use against a deadly force threat where you cannot use a pistol for whatever reason (long ground fight, disarmed, etc).

I keep the larger tanto version of this on my duty belt. This is the the best counter-offensive gear I have on my belt.

Great desgin, but the blade quality is good, not outstanding.
