Specifically, the unique blade shape of the KA-BAR Modified Tanto 1266 offers a thicker tip for increased strength while maintaining excellent slicing capabilities. The black Kraton G handle ensures a secure, comfortable grip in all weather conditions. It includes a glass filled nylon hard sheath with multiple retention points for versatile carry options.
