The 1980s saw the birth of the tactical mission knife: a type of knife specially developed for police and military special units. It no longer has much in common with the combat knives of the world wars; as an "all-rounder", the tactical insertion knife is both a weapon and a tool. For the first time, this comprehensive presentation shows the development, variety of models and areas of application of this modern type of knife. As a world-renowned expert, the author shares his experience in the field of police and military special operations knives. The reader is given detailed insights into the various types and shapes of knives, the modern materials from which they are made, and an overview of the suppliers on the German market. The advantages and disadvantages of folding or fixed knives are explained, as are the various blades and their surface treatments. For example, what are the advantages of a titanium-coated tanto blade over a sandblasted dagger blade? Why should tactical knives have a serrated edge? What is the purpose of the various sheath systems and carrying methods? The appendix contains an overview of the most important international manufacturers of tactical combat knives. Without a doubt, this book is the first German-language standard work to deal in detail with this versatile and fascinating type of knife.
