Ka-Bar TDI Last Ditch Knife
The Ka-Bar TDI Last Ditch Knife (LDK) is a credit-card-sized fixed-blade backup designed with the Tactical Defense Institute for law enforcement and serious self-defense carry. Built from a single piece of 9Cr18 stainless steel with a black powder-coated finish, the LDK runs 3.625 inches overall with a 1.625-inch blade and weighs just an ounce. It ships with a hard ABS friction sheath and 550 paracord, so you can rig it as a neck knife, lash it to boot laces, tuck it under a vest strap, or stash it in a wallet. Built for the operator, officer, or armed citizen who wants a true backup when everything else has been taken.

The knife is exactly what I wanted.It fits in my belt loop on my belt itself. It stays there all day all activities, and can be deployed in a fraction of a second. I had to put a better edge on it but it is great.

Sharp!It was a little smaller than I realized, and while that's not a bad thing, it took me a minute to get used to it. The sheath can be laced into your boot laces, or it fits really nicely in that tiny pocket that peeks up over the real pocket on jeans and some work pants.

Most ConcealableI've purchased two of these knives so far. I laced the first unit in a pair of boots that I train in. The second unit is attached to a beltloop or shorts with a drawstring via a small cable for instances when I'm not wearing boots. I'm able to conceal it IWB. This is perfect for outside activities and going to the gym. It's also worthy to note that I've mistakenly put it through the washer and dryer with this configuration. Besides being extremely hot coming out of the dryer, there were no defects. Great design and craftsmanship! Highly recommended for easy concealability!
easy concealability!

Last Ditch KnifeI decided to use this as a boot knife and to use the included paracord to wrap the handle (thank you to the other reviewers who gave me those ideas). It fits perfectly in that spot-it’s both concealed and easily retrieved. Just don’t plan on using this thing as a tool-its sole purpose is to get someone off of you if you’re fighting for your life. I expect it’ll hold up its end of that deal.

Great knife, pretty good sheathThis is a great little knife, thin but definitely strong. It's for my gf who has smaller hands, but even still i wrapped the handle in paracord to make sure she has good grip if she needs it, it's a little tricky to hold onto. The knife itself is 5 stars, and the sheath is nice, it can be tied almost anywhere, but theres no belt clip. We figured something out using more paracord, but i really think a belt clip, even optional/removable, would be a huge improvement. Still very much 4 stars.
