Carved into the sides of the scales are lateral control grooves that provide indexing points in darkness as well as additional control without increasing the width of the handle. Deep finger grooves orient the knife in the hand and add a third more grip area. Quartz impregnated inserts provide extreme circumstances grip enhancement and are replaceable should decontamination be required. The Pocket clip is reversible for true ambidextrous tip up carry.

About Dark Ops Knives

Dark Ops Knives are made from a proprietary hybrid alloy of Chromium, Cobalt, Tungsten, Vanadium, and Molybdenum with surgical grade stainless steel!

But should you run out of ammo and need to fight through the mob, these are the tools to use! They are considered by many to be the most effective edged combat weapons in existence today. Dark Ops Knives feature brutally rugged construction designed to perform in the gravest extremes. They do not contain complicated locking mechanisms that plug with sand or toy like cosmetic features. The blades are nearly double the thickness of imitators. The locking system has been proven in combat and is as strong as the CTV2 steel itself, with the pressure not born by small plunge locks, thumb studs, or unreliable liner locks. Made by operators for operators in the greatest country in the world!

By the time you are using your knife and not your rifle or sidearm, things have already gone to hell. Dark Ops knives are designed to retain maximum grip and leverage when covered with hydraulic fluid or blood. Dark Ops mil-tested handle designs contain ground quartz inserts for maximum grip, aided by substantial finger grooves that orient the knife in the dark. The blades are long and sharp enough to penetrate both airplane skins and Comm-bloc body-armor.
