KA-BAR TDI/Hinderer Hell Fire Fixed Blade 3.56in Black Recurve Tanto KA2486

The KA-BAR TDI/Hinderer Hell Fire Fixed Blade Knife is the result of a powerful collaboration between Tactical Defense Institute founder John Benner and renowned custom knifemaker Rick Hinderer. Designed for tactical performance and law enforcement professionals, this knife delivers rapid access, ergonomic control, and dependable strength in high-stress situations. Whether carried as a duty blade or a personal defense tool, the Hell Fire offers a purpose-built design that supports a variety of defensive applications.

Built for reliability and durability, the Hell Fire features a 3.56-inch recurve tanto blade made from 1095 Cro-Van steel—an alloy known for excellent edge retention and toughness. The black blade finish reduces glare and adds corrosion resistance, making it suitable for use in demanding environments. The recurve tanto profile delivers powerful slicing ability and a reinforced tip ideal for piercing, while the full tang construction ensures uncompromising strength.

The black Ultramid handle is contoured for a secure grip, offering control and stability during use. Finger grooves and aggressive jimping along the spine enhance retention, whether the knife is held in a forward or reverse grip. The handle design reflects the knife's tactical focus, giving the user confidence in both retention and maneuverability.

At 7.25 inches overall and weighing just 5.6 ounces, the Hell Fire balances size and portability, making it easy to carry without sacrificing function. It comes equipped with a hard plastic sheath designed for practical everyday carry. The sheath features a thumb-release locking mechanism that secures the knife in place while allowing for rapid deployment when needed. A reversible black metal belt clip provides multiple carry options, whether worn on duty or off.

Proudly made in the USA, the KA-BAR TDI/Hinderer Hell Fire is a tactical blade built with input from professionals who understand real-world defense scenarios. Every detail—from the rugged blade geometry to the secure grip and quick-access sheath—is tailored to meet the needs of those who rely on their gear without hesitation.
