The blade is a 5.31” modified tanto, crafted from K110 D2 steel, a high-performance alloy known for its impressive edge retention, toughness, and resilience under pressure. The modified tanto shape offers a robust point that excels at both piercing and prying, while the partially serrated edge enhances versatility, allowing for clean slicing as well as rapid cuts through tougher materials like rope and webbing. Finished in a unique Dark Earth Teflon coating, this blade not only resists corrosion but also offers a low-profile look ideal for tactical scenarios, blending seamlessly into natural environments and minimizing reflection.
With full tang construction, the Gen 2 Medium Infantry Knife offers enhanced strength and balance, delivering a blade that feels rock-solid in hand. Measuring .25” thick, the blade is built to handle the demands of heavy use without compromising on agility and control. Its Dark Earth G-10 handle provides a comfortable, non-slip grip in any condition. Known for its resilience and moisture resistance, G-10 is the ultimate choice for high-performance handles, providing a lightweight feel that’s still built tough. Secured with steel Torx fittings, this handle is not only durable but built to stay tight and secure for years of rugged use.
For added safety, the handle is designed with an extra-large hand guard, protecting your fingers from slipping toward the blade edge during intense tasks. The crusher pommel at the base is an invaluable feature, ideal for breaking glass or using as an impact tool in emergency situations. Additionally, a lanyard hole offers you options for easy carry and added security, allowing you to attach paracord or other gear for quick access when you’re on the move.
This knife comes with a custom-molded Dark Earth Kydex belt sheath, made in the USA to perfectly fit the blade and provide reliable retention. The secure fit and sturdy design mean you can rely on this sheath to keep your blade protected and ready to draw at a moment’s notice.
