In looking at some of Ka-bar's knives, I see the term TDI. What does that mean? I know what purpose these knives are built to fill. A secondary line of defense in case you are disarmed, or for certain uses in rescue situations. cannot figure out what TDI means. Okay, i am ready for the derision and scoffing. Lay it on me!!

WHEW Bison, You got some time on your hands, huh? And a good search engine. Well maybe not that good....couldn't find the right TDI. LOL Thanks for trying though. Your enthusiasm is appreciated.
Thanks Goinpostal! Beast your answer was good too. I googled Ka-bar and checked their site but didn't locate the reference. Thanks again.
Can you provide links to the exact pages where you find this "TDI" term? I have searched several sites and have not seen this, and I especially spent time at the Ka-Bar website. As far as I can tell, it is not an official term used by Ka-Bar. However, "TDI" is a term used by several vendors. It stands for "Tax & Delivery Included" in the price.
Google the exact term "TDI Knife",and it will come up in the first page of links.The term comes from,who and where the blade was designed by.99% of my web browsing is on my phone.I would have to copy the link by hand,and then transfer it to my mobile.Untill my right hand has healed enough,writing is difficult at best.I shreaded it on a table saw.Matt
These are quite popular. The PX sells them. I think the "Karambit" style knife is a great defensive style blade. Not much useful for anything else. I can't imagine trying to baton a night's worth of wood with one. Great for putting on your kit somewhere as a last ditch blade, though.
