Cold Steel Counter TAC boot knives were designed with this simple philosophy in mind. The full tang blades are made from polished AUS 8A stainless steel, that is vacuum heat treated, and sub zero quenched for strength. They are hollow ground and end in a sturdy but needle sharp point that is ideal for effortless penetration, and of course the edge is razor sharp. The ergonomic design of the Kraton grip is comfortable and adaptable to any fighting style, and the deeply textured surface and double guard will insure that the knife is not likely to slip from your hand under any circumstances.
