Features of military and tactical knives

A distinctive feature of military and tactical knives is the colour of the blade. The blades are often enhanced with a black coating. This has important advantages.

It prevents reflection of sunlight, thus not revealing the user's position.

The coating provides additional corrosion resistance.

In addition, military knives are often very robust and suitable for intensive use. They are usually fixed blades, as they have no hinge and are therefore less vulnerable.

How to choose the best military or tactical knife?

Choosing the right knife depends on your intended use:

Collectors often choose replicas because of their historical value and unique design.

Survival and outdoor enthusiasts use military knives because of their versatility and reliability. Models with a clip-point or drop-point blade are particularly suitable for this purpose.

Plain-edge blade vs. serrated blade

Smooth blade (plain edge): Suitable for more precise cuts and easier sharpening.

Serrated blade: Cuts through ropes and textiles faster and stays sharp longer, but is harder to sharpen.
