KA‑BAR TDI LDK LAST DITCH KNIFE – MODEL 1478 – 1.75" 9Cr18 STAINLESS BLADE – ONE‑PIECE CONSTRUCTION – MADE IN CHINA
Ultra‑Compact “Last Option” TDI Knife, Credit‑Card Profile, Law‑Enforcement Focused Design
The KA‑BAR TDI LDK (Last Ditch Knife) is an ultra‑compact defensive tool designed as a true “last option” backup for law enforcement officers. With an overall profile no larger than a credit card, the LDK can be concealed almost anywhere—boot‑laced, pinned inside a belt or lapel, worn as a neck knife, or stashed in a pocket.
Constructed from a single piece of black powder‑coated 9Cr18 stainless steel, the LDK offers durability and corrosion resistance in a minimalist footprint. It includes a molded black composition sheath and a black cord tie for multiple carry configurations. Designed as an off‑hand tool that draws like a pistol, the reversible sheath allows right‑ or left‑side belt carry for rapid access in extreme close‑quarters situations.
