Cold Steel are bringing back the boot knife with the Counter TAC series. The Counter TAC 1 features a full-sized 5-inch blade with a true double edged spear point shape that’s deadly sharp from every angle. The edges are uniquely chisel ground, leaving the back side of the blade flat to eliminate drag. This serious slasher can be kept safe in the included Secure-Ex sheath with removable clip and lashing slots.

Why choose this knife?

• Double edged blade has twice the cutting power
• Thin profile for discreet boot and belt carry
• Ergonomic handle fits forward or reverse grip
• Guard protects hand from slipping onto blade
• Full tang increases blade’s leverage power
• Blood groove reduces blade weight

Why not?

• Not appropriate for everyday carry
• Chisel ground edge only cuts effectively in one direction
• Sheath has no clip or lock

Next level knife: CRKT Sangrador Combat Knife

Pro tip:
Chisel ground blades, also known as single-bevel ground blades, have a bevel on only one side of the edge (like a chisel). Chisel ground blades are easier to sharpen and create less drag when piercing, but they also have significantly less cutting power on their flat side.
