Looking for a weak hand fixed blade

[901-Memphis]

I have been looking for a knife to keep on my weak hand side for carry purposes.

I don't want to spend a lot and i have seen a couple very cheap ones that i was wondering if i could do better for about the same price or more.

I like the KA-BAR TDI last ditch and the regular TDI

Any gripes or similar products? Maybe even an aftermarket holster that works good with either?

Just listing amazon for reference, i would search around for better prices.


I should probably point out that i don't currently have any carry knifes and i don't currently use one. I might need to get both of those knifes i guess?

i carry a master cutlery knife with a curved blade. spent about $20 bucks for the knife then $3 to have him use a wet stone on it to really put an edge on the blade. only regret is no pocket clip. id rather have one of those. just good for a well made knife and see if they can sharpen it for you.

Just thought i would see if any of you have any more options out there for fixed blade knives or the best places to buy one?

I am not sure what you mean by a "weak hand knife". But not letting my ignorance get in the way, I will comment anyway.

I would be careful about cheap. If your life is at stake wouldn't you want something you could absolutely rely on?

Every day I carry a Benchmade AFCK. It has a clip and opens easily with one hand. The blade is a liner lock and half serrated and half edged. It holds the edge well and in ten years I doubt that I've sharpened it more than once a year. Mind you, I do not use it for chopping down trees or clearing paths like Bear Grylls, but I do use it for things "normal" people might.

Now and then I carry a SOG double edge in a kydex sheath. It can be worn inside or outside the waist band. I think I paid less than $30 for it.

That said, any knife may be better than none at all.

By weak hand i mean a fixed blade knife i could use to fend off an attacker should my shooting hand be incapacitated.

I was looking at the Ka-Bar TDI and would like to know if there are any knifes in that price range or maybe even that category of knife.

I am not sure I would like the shape you chose. However, that is strictly a personal choice. Pick what works for you. Here is one I like and priced right.

I actually like that look of the knife and it seems like a quality piece. Like the sheath look too i wonder how well it holds to a boot?

Is that brand SOG a reputable company or should i look at other brands?

Reputable? Yes, in so far as I know. I have the Pentagon and carry it occasionally. I've never had to use it (thanks be to God) so I cannot tell you how it holds up in use. It's made in Japan and they do have a good history of blade making.

The OAL with the sheath is 8.75". The blade measures 3.75". The knife is tight in the sheath. The sheath has a clip and I suppose you could carry it in a boot, but I never wear high boots so I do not know. I carry on my belt OWB. The handle has a nice feel.

I trust it about as much as I trust my Benchmade. In knives. like guns, you pretty much get what you pay for.

Blessings, S2

I looked at the SOG website and was at Dicks Sporting goods and after closer examination they seem to be a good quality knife and kind of expensive.

After holding one in person and reading reviews i think i will be going with the Kershaw Tanto Blur i found at my local Walmart for $57, it feels great in hand and the reviews lead it to be a quality piece that will last some abuse.

I carry a mini revolver on my weak side for the same purpose and a knife to open packages etc.

I stick with cold steel products

I carry the Kershaw Whirlwind, and have had it for years. I think they renamed it though, and call it the blur now. Anyway it is an outstanding knife. In fact I have all the Kershaw knives and they are all great. If you can't find what you want. P.M. me as I collect knives. Currently I have on display 200+ of the most sought after knives on the market.

I prefer pepper spray on the weak side, but I guess both pepper spray and a knife could be on the weak side.
