VersatileTacticalKnives

Tactical knives are characterized by their durability, quick deployment, and features optimized for self-defense, or utility in demanding situations for the professional.

Legality varies by location. Always check local laws regarding blade length, opening mechanisms, and carry methods before purchasing or carrying a tactical knife. The American Knife and Tool Institute provides a comprehensive database available here as a resource for the knife community - https://www.akti.org/state-knife-laws/.

Popular choices include D2, S30V, and M390 for their balance of edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance. The best steel depends on your specific needs and maintenance habits.

Regularly clean and oil your knife, keep it dry, and sharpen as needed. Check for loose screws and ensure the locking mechanism functions properly before each use. See our full knife care and maintenance recommendations here - https://www.crkt.com/knife-care.
