When it comes to knives, the Blade-Tech Riptide is the ultimate self-defense system.

This knife is concealed in the pocket and secured with an ambidextrous pocket clip. A quick pull of the safety ring on the pocket clip activates the Emerson Wave System which opens the blade to ready position instantly while the non-reflective black oxide coating makes the blade easily concealable.

KA-BAR MSM Knife
The general idea of the KA-BAR MSM Knife is to have a big ass tanto with an enhanced thumb ramp and thick enough for plenty of abuse. All kinds of grips are possible with the thumb ramp particularly forming great to one’s hand in a reverse blade forward grip.

The Malice clips work great for mounting to both belts and PALS webbing.
