CASE KNIVES
High quality, extremely collectible handmade knives since the 1800s.
SHOP CASE KNIVESWhen every second counts, accessibility is everything. You carry a tool not just for function, but for readiness—for those unpredictable moments that demand precision and control. Yet even the finest blade means nothing if you can’t reach it when it matters most. That’s why the KA-BAR TDI Clip (1480 CLIP) was engineered—to bridge the gap between your trusted knife and true, instant accessibility.
Developed in partnership with the Tactical Defense Institute, the KA-BAR TDI Clip transforms your standard Zytel sheath into a secure, low-profile carry system designed for everyday readiness. Built from durable black stainless steel, this clip gives your knife a fixed, dependable mount—eliminating pocket float and ensuring a consistent, confident draw. Whether you’re a law enforcement professional relying on your backup blade, a prepared civilian seeking discreet carry, or an outdoorsman who values quick access on the trail, this clip keeps your knife exactly where you need it—every single time.
The reversible mounting system accommodates both left- and right-handed users, letting you customize placement to your preferred draw angle and position. Designed to fit belts up to 1.75 inches high and 0.25 inches thick, the TDI Clip offers both security and versatility. With all necessary hardware included, installation is simple—just use a T6 Torx wrench to mount directly to your compatible Zytel sheath. The result is a sleek, reliable attachment that enhances your knife’s utility without adding unnecessary bulk.
Compatible with most KA-BAR TDI knives and select Becker models, the TDI Clip ensures your gear performs the way you need it to—fast, secure, and within reach. When readiness matters, you don’t settle for less. You carry confidence with the KA-BAR TDI Clip.
