KA-BAR TDI Shark Bite Ultramid Self-Defense Knife 9908
The TDI Shark Bite from KA-BAR designed by Tactical Defense Institute is constructed of 100% Ultramid, the perfect material for a deep covert backup self-defense blade. Ultramid is a lightweight, synthetic material that provides a sharp and durable edge. This high-tech, covert knife is completely non-magnetic so it won't set off those pesky metal detectors. Ultramid is super tough and virtually impervious to the elements.
The pistol grip handle is also made of textured Ultramid polymer and since the knife is constructed of a single piece of Ultramid it is very strong. The handle is comfortable and provides an awesome grip and the traction grooves on the spine further enhance control when doing fine cutting tasks. The TDI Shark Bite comes with an Ultramid sheath and 24 inches of #3 black epoxy coated steel ball chain for neck carry.
The TDI Shark Bite weighs less than an ounce so it can be worn on the neck, carried in a pocket, tied, tucked, or taped just about anywhere on one's person for the ultimate in covert carry.
The TDI Shark Bite is impervious to heat, cold, moisture and extreme weather so it can be tactically hidden virtually everywhere (indoors and outdoors). Moreover, they are so affordable that you can purchase several and keep them hidden in strategic locations and if the need arises you can ditch them.
If you are in the market for a non-expensive, totally non-detectible (non-magnetic) knife for self-defense the TDI Shark Bite is an excellent choice.

NEW Cold Steel Safe Maker Push Daggers!
At the end of 2016 we were saddened that Cold Steel was discontinuing two of our favorite push daggers... the Safe Maker I and Safe Maker II. These two push daggers were some of our best push knives ever made. We were thrilled when Cold Steel announced that they were coming out with new Safe Maker models with AUS8 stainless steel blades and a durable stonewash finish. Other than these two changes the New Safe Maker's are identical to the classic models with one exception--they are priced significantly lower! Prices on the NEW Safe Maker's start at only $29.95 at OsoGrandeKnives.

Cold Steel Urban Edge Double Serrated Push Dagger 43XLSS
The Urban Edge by Cold Steel makes a formidable last ditch self-defense knife. It's light enough to be worn as a neck knife or hung from a key ring or a purse, but still packs enough cutting power to handle tasks that would challenge some larger knives. The Urban Edge is Cold Steels's first small-scale double-edged push knife, the Urban Edge has two razor-sharp serrated edges. The Kray-Ex handle gives a secure and comfortable grip, padding the fingers when making big slashes and cuts. See it and every other Cold Steel offering at www.osograndeknives.com.

Cold Steel Peace Maker III Boot Knife
If you're in the Military or Law Enforcement; if you ride horses or motorcycles; live on a ranch or a farm - or if the encroaching threats of the urban jungle are simply getting too near for comfort - then the NEW 2013 Cold Steel Peace Maker III is for you!
The Peace Maker III can be carried very discreetly. Clipped to the top of your boot and covered by your pant leg it's virtually invisible. Boot carry is very comfortable (as the boot top carries the weight and suspends the knife so it doesn't rub, gouge, or irritate your body), furthermore, your knife is always at-the-ready when needed.
Light and thin, weighing only 3.4 ounces it has the attributes of a great boot knife! It's "Scandi" ground blade is easy to resharpen and the compound ground clip point is easily pierces through thick targets.
The Peace Maker III is adept at a number of uses - utility, hunting, fishing, and self-defense. The thin handle has subtle contouring and a pronounced palm swell that gives a good grip and the double quillon guard protects your fingers. A thumb trough in the butt further enhances the knife's versatility by facilitating a comfortable and robust reverse grip.
An ambidextrous Secure-Ex™ sheath safely contains the knife and, unlike sheaths made from leather or fabric, it's impervious to the elements. The sheath is fitted with a custom-made, stainless steel belt clip that will stay put and keep the sheath firmly attached to your boot or belt when your knife is drawn.
Specifications:
- Blade Length: 4"
- Overall Length: 8 1/2"
- Steel: German 4116 Stainless
- Weight: 3.4 oz.
- Blade Thickness: 2.5 mm
- Handle: 4 3/4" Long High Impact Polypropylene

Cold Steel Hide Out... Astoundingly Functional!
The new Hide Out by Cold Steel was designed with one clear goal in mind; to produce a small, inexpensive and astoundingly functional neck knife - one that was just so good, so affordable and so light that there was simply no excuse not to carry one!
It's high satin polished, double-edged Japanese AUS 8A blade is "Scandi" ground, which makes it very sharp and also very stiff, allowing for a strong point and effortless penetrative power. It's full tang is encapsulated in a weather proof Griv-Ex™ handle that has been designed to be very thin and flat (so that it won't imprint on even the thinnest suit, dress slacks or uniform pants).
The handle swells at the butt to give the hand great purchase and security while enabling effortless transition between grips. And a generous lanyard hole is easily big enough to attach Paracord further aiding the knife's versatility. A strong, reliable Secure-Ex® sheath with bead chain lanyard completes this lightweight package.
Despite its cutting and piercing power, the knife itself is a featherweight, weighing a meager 1.9oz!
An awesome, affordable, lightweight double edged fixed blade that can easily be carried around the neck, tucked into a boot, attached to a belt or even carried in a pocket instead of a folder, the Hide Out sets a new standard for versatility. There is simply no excuse not to own one!
Specifications:
- Blade Length: 3"
- Overall Length: 6 1/2"
- Steel: Japanese Aus 8A Stainless
- Weight: 1.9 oz.
- Blade Thickness: 3 mm
- Handle: 3 1/2" Long Griv-Ex™
- Sheath: Secure-Ex® Neck Sheath With Bead Chain Lanyard

The Good Soldier - Cold Steel 17T Kobun
The Kobun® is a lightweight Tanto styled boot knife. It takes its namesake from the Japanese martial, or underworld where the word "Kobun" means "soldier". It's a fitting name for a knife like the Kobun®, which was effectively designed to be "a good soldier". In profile it closely resembles our Master Tanto, but it sports a thinner blade, and that supports its main function; to be a light weight boot knife.
Like our Tantos, it features the Tanto styled reinforced point. This contrasts sharply with most boot knives on the market today which are notorious for their paper thin points which are easily broken or bent. In contrast, the Kobun's® point is highly resistant to bending or breaking because it is reinforced by the full thickness of the blade's spine which runs almost to the very tip of the blade.
The Kobun's® deeply checkered Kraton® handle is designed to offer minimum bulk with maximum grip. Its cross section was made as thin as possible (approximately 1/2 inch), then contoured to resist turning or shifting in the hand. The Kobun® comes complete with a Secure- Ex® sheath.
The Cold Steel Kobun Knife features a thin 5.5" tanto blade made of AUS-8A stainless steel, .125" thick, with a satin finish. The deeply checkered black Kraton handle has a lined lanyard hole. A Secure-Ex boot/belt sheath with multiple lashing holes is included. Overall length: 9.875". Weight: 4.4 ounces.

Gerber De Facto Fixed Blade Knife
The Gerber De Facto fixed-blade is a short, double-edged dagger designed for close-quarter self defense. The De Facto fixed-blade knife features a 4-inch S30V spear-point blade with dual serrations. It resembles the classic blade design of Gerber’s Vietnam War-era knives such as the MK II. It’s overall length is 8.8 inches and weighs just under 4 ounces, 5.1 with sheath. “It’s designed for stabbing and slashing,” Andrew Gritzbaugh, senior marketing specialist at Gerber, said at the 2011 Association of the United States Army Annual Meeting and Exposition in Washington.
The injected-molded handle has a comfortable, non-slip feel and features a spiked pommel with a lanyard hole. The De Facto was developed with the input of veteran Special Forces soldiers, who wanted a quick-access blade for close-in threats. The molded, friction-lock sheath holds the blade tight enough to be worn upside down. It also features a secondary locking mechanism to secure the blade for airborne operations. Check them out at OsoGrandeKnives.com.
