KA-BARKnives KBAR TDI Investigator W/SHTH STR

Perfect little left hand knife to wear next to your concealed carry. The sheath is made well enough and retains the blade well. I have smaller hands and the handle seems to fit well. I could imagine the front of the handle-choil might bite if you really wrench into something, but I haven’t experienced this yet. Blade steel is a reasonable and sharp option so long as you use the knife for what it’s intended for.

I have been looking for a long time for an EDC fixed blade knife. This is the one. The angle of the handle is ergonomic and fits well in my hand. I wear large gloves. I wear it horizontal on my belt next the belt buckle and it is very comfortable. While sitting, squatting, climbing, and running I barely notice it is there. The sheath has a positive snap and retains the blade tight with no noticable wiggling. It is a K-Bar, which for me reminds me of when I carried a K-Bar as a Marine. Over all, I am very pleased with my purchase. So far, I've used it as a utility knife, a bush craft knife, and after washing, I've cut steak with it. Works very well and sharpens very well. Get you a quality stone and a strip, and it will stay sharp a very long time.

This thing really started to grow on me once I fully realized it’s versatility.I typically wear it weak side on my belt right near the front of my hip. It has this strangeness too it where you can always feel that it’s there and exactly where it is, yet it isn’t even 1% uncomfortable and you nearly forget about it. Almost like a well holstered sidearm but micro.The belt clip comes mounted sideways for scout carry which is weird to me, but it’s super easy to change around.You end up having to technically mount it upside down to carry it normally. This seems strange yet actually is very functional.The BEST advantage to this upside down clip is when you’re wearing something without a belt (sweatpants, joggers, gym shorts etc) and you can actually put this clip on the outside of your pocket due to it being upside down. This will leave the handle pointing toward the ground so when you pull the knife the sheath physically can’t go anywhere. The retention is PERFECT. The blade will never fall out without a very solid pull. This outside the pocket method also keeps it open carry if you’re somewhere like CA and you don’t need to worry about tucking your shirt or something to stay “legal”. Because of this is absolutely my most carried knife now.This is definitely a last resort/GTFO me blade due to how small it is.The steel is strong and overall definitely a great purchase.

I like the knife it’s a little hard going in and out of the sheath . Very easy to knock carry it’s also sharp enough. Build quality seems really good.

I’ve had this type of knife for many years and have enjoyed it. This year at Christmas I ordered a knife for my son and two grandsons. They loved the knives.

Exactly as it was described. Came sharp out of the box. Placed it on my belt and practiced drawing from concealment with zero issues. Definitely would recommend for self defense carry.

Bought my first KaBar 17 years ago when I was a Police Officer. I still have it but it has been USED and worn OUT. So I bought this same model. It’s perfect as a concealed boot knife. And not one person has noticed. It arrived sharp out of the package but I like to hone my own blades. It’s super sharp and durable and doesn’t fall out of the sheath. I highly recommend this KaBar.

This is a very comfortable easy to carry edc knife.
