Ka-Bar TDI Law Enforcement Large 3.69" Fixed Blade

Ka-Bar TDI Law Enforcement Large Fixed Blade Knife

The Ka-Bar TDI Law Enforcement Large is a purpose-built defensive knife designed for professionals who need a reliable last-resort option when primary weapons are inaccessible. This larger version of the popular TDI platform offers serious capability in a package that conceals effectively when worn on a duty belt.

Design & Purpose

Developed by John Benner, founder of the Tactical Defense Institute, this knife was engineered specifically for close-quarters defensive scenarios. The design philosophy is straightforward: when distance closes and options narrow, you need a tool that works.

Specifications

• Blade: 3.69" AUS-8A stainless steel with drop point geometry
• Overall Length: 7.56"
• Handle: Black Zytel for secure grip and durability
• Edge: Plain edge for reliable cutting performance
• Finish: Matte black to reduce glint and reflection

Carry & Deployment

The knife ships with a MOLLE-compatible hard plastic sheath fitted with reversible Cordura nylon webbing straps. This system mounts securely to duty belts, tactical vests, and other gear without excessive bulk. When properly positioned on the belt, the entire knife-and-sheath package remains well-concealed under a cover garment.

Why This Knife Works

The drop point blade offers a balance of cutting edge and point strength. AUS-8A steel holds an edge well and resists corrosion. The Zytel handle provides a secure, non-slip grip even when wet or gloved. This is a tool built for serious work, not aesthetics.
