Ka-bar Leather Handled Hunters .... 
 
Classically styled leather-handled hunting knives with brown leather sheaths. 

Two of the knives, the #1235 Marine Hunter and the #1236 Bowie, are reproductions of knives previously offered by KA-BAR more than 30 years ago. Both styles are part of a line of products that have been popular since the early 1900’s.

The third knife, the #1234 Game Hook, melds together the classic styling and construction of the original leather handled hunters and the newer and always popular gut hook blade. 

1226: Caper Plain
One of six classically styled leather handled hunters, the caper has been a popular member of the KA-BAR product line since the early 1900's.

    TDI - Law Enforcement

    Originally designed for extreme close quarters encounters where a suspect is attempting to take an officer's handgun, or an officer cannot access his handgun, the TDI knife is available as a "last option" knife. When worn on the pant belt the entire unit - knife and sheath - is well concealed. Designed by John Benner, founder and owner of Tactical Defense Institute. Also popular as a deployment tool for emergencies - a  non-intimidating knife for emergency services personel, that carries easily without constricting movement.
    The 1480/81 TDI originally designed for extreme close quarters, has become increasingly popular as an emergency services knife. Or select one of the  larger versions of our very popular TDI Law Enforcement Knife. Sold with hard plastic sheath that is fitted with flexible Cordura straps to mount to pant and duty belts, tactical vests, and more. 
    The third version in this popular series is the Ankle model with slim blade and ergonomic handle  - so comfortable to use. It's hard plastic sheath locks the knife in place and mounts to a comfortable Cordura holster for ankle wear.

    The angle, texture and contours of the grip are just right for easy access and a firm hold. 
    The shape and size of the blade maximises instinctive moves.
