Today’s tactical fixed blade knives still resemble the first Bronze Age daggers of 4000 years ago, especially in their handle design. Michael Martinez, inventor of the Merlin® knife deployment system*, didn’t start out to redesign the fixed blade, but he explains, “We tested over 400 knives with the Merlin system, and I kept noticing how many knives didn’t feel right, didn’t have a grip that gave both control and comfort in the four fundamental tactical grips.” Michael’s design firm, Group Design, Inc., reached out to a team of medical specialists for the answer. Their Ultima™ achieves 22 out of 23 ideal contact points with its unique patent-pending handle. Blade length: 6 3/4" Overall length: 11 5/8" Steel: 1.4116 stainless Handle: Injection-molded black Zytel Sheath included
