TDI Law Enforcement Knife in the black version with a serrated blade was engineered specifically for law enforcement professionals. The design, created by John Benner, founder of the Tactical Defense Institute and experienced SWAT team leader and coordinator of the U.S. Drug Task Force, was intended as a compact, efficient self-defense knife, ideal for situations demanding quick, decisive action.

Owing to its carefully considered build, the knife is lightweight, ergonomic, and exceptionally sharp. The uniquely contoured handle offers a firm grip and intuitive operation similar to the feel of a firearm. The robust full tang construction delivers outstanding durability and strength under pressure. The blade is crafted from high-quality AUS 8A steel, which provides reliable edge retention, while the applied black, anti-reflective coating minimizes visibility and shields the blade from corrosion.

The handle features rugged Zytel material and an anti-slip texture, ensuring a secure hold even in adverse situations. Included is a tactical sheath in black, equipped with a durable metal clip (1480CLIP) for versatile mounting inside or outside the belt. The mounting design keeps the knife stable yet allows quick access during emergencies.

The package also comes with an Allen key and two extra screws to make it easy to adjust the sheath for personalized carry preferences.

Militaria.pl is a premium dealer of Ka-Bar.


Ka-Bar is a brand whose history dates back to the late 19th century, and which gained real fame during World War II, when the Fighting Utility model was officially adopted by the US Marine Corps. The durable and versatile knife quickly became legendary, proving itself both in combat and in the daily tasks of soldiers. The name Ka-Bar itself comes from the 1920s, when a trapper described in a letter how he managed to “kill a bear” with a Union Cutlery knife. In 1952, wanting to emphasize the power of this symbol, the company officially changed its name to Ka-Bar Knives Inc., and its products are still considered a model of reliability today. An important chapter in the brand's history is also its collaboration with Ethan Becker, which resulted in the Becker series, highly valued by users, combining practical solutions with a modern approach to knife design.

    Ka-Bar 1480 TDI Law Enforcement Knife Straight Edge. My favorite knife. It fits perfectly on a 4.5 cm wide belt. I wear it all the time. Sharp, sleek, and handy. Easy to draw from the sheath.

    Very good knife design for defense when your health or life is seriously threatened. The short blade is fine for its intended function and allows for quick maneuvering if necessary. A secure grip, as long as you do not change your hold. However, I would like to point out that it could be perfect, but in my opinion, it has one drawback—a hard and therefore slippery handle. The texturing doesn't help much here. As long as the grip is firm, it sits well in the hand, but if you change grip, due to the hard and relatively slippery handle, it may slip out. It arrived not very sharp, although that's not a big problem since you can easily sharpen it yourself. Very good sheath and clip, though quite heavy for such small dimensions. Overall, I recommend it. Maybe one of the best 'last chance' knives.

    I recommend this small defensive knife. It fits different gear. Well made, flawless. The grip is comfortable in the hand and easy to draw. Sharp.

    A handy knife with a very good sheath and a belt attachment system. The steel is very hard, so you have to put in some effort to sharpen it. The only drawback is that when you reach for the knife, you can't grab it fully with your hand because it is too deeply hidden in the sheath, so you have to adjust your grip a bit when taking it out.

    Very handy little knife. Fits well in the hand and does not slip. The blade isn’t the biggest, but it works great as an EDC. The sheath with the excellent clip is a definite plus—it holds really well, even on the inside of your pants. I honestly recommend it. My only comment is about the sharpness. It’s not bad, but after unpacking, you need to sharpen it a few times.

    Ideal for concealed carry as a backup. The sheath is great, but from the very beginning I knew I would be getting a custom one from the States. Very ergonomic.

    Decent quality, sits comfortably in the hand in a 'reverse grip.'

    This is not a universal knife, and that should be kept in mind. For self-defense or cutting, it's simply perfect.

    Great solution, you can hide it with a thicker belt.

    A very handy fixed blade knife, ideal for EDC. It is especially recommended for shooters - pistol users because the knife's grip angle is very similar to the grip angle of a personal weapon, e.g. police. Additionally, KA-BAR is a legend in itself. I RECOMMEND!!
