KA2490 KA-BAR TDI Law Enforcement AUS-8 Black Blade Black GFN Handles Crossbar Lock Clip

The KA-BAR TDI 2490 TDI Flipper Folder is back and better than ever. The 7.3" folding knife is perfect for EDC (Everyday Carry) with an ambidextrous design, tip-up carry, reversible pocket clip, and crossbar lock. It is also still one of the best and most effective CQC knives in both trained and untrained hands. A major upgrade all around in our opinion.

About the Designer

Only a 33-year veteran police Lieutenant could truly understand what makes a knife effective for close-quarters defense. While serving as President and Chief Instructor of Tactical Defense Institute, John Benner saw time and time again what he already believed to be true from first-hand experience: In a conflict, fine motor skills deteriorate and gross motor skills are most effective for fending off assailants. Benner then set out to design a low-profile fixed blade knife for law enforcement, military, and security personnel that could be drawn quickly and efficiently in times of duress. After more than a year of prototype samples and in-field testing, the Benner-approved TDI knife was put into production. The same basic principles that founded that first knife were incorporated into all future TDI models, which now complete an expansive line of tactical knives.
