Winner of the
prestigious International Blade Show’s Overall Knife of the Year Award,
this knife was designed by the official close-combat trainer of the
U.S. Navy SEALs. Intended as a full-service combat utility and fighting
knife, its most distinctive feature is its unique twin-pronged guard.
These “Striker hilts” provide superior protection to the user’s hand
when employed against other weapons and are extremely effective in
limited-penetration thrusting. In a utility context, they provide
puncturing and prying tools that preserve the tip of the blade – the
most frequently abused part of any field knife.
Precision ground from high-carbon A-2
tool steel for superior toughness, the Mark V’s blade is coated with
Black Diamond-Like Coat (DLC), a permanently bonded state-of-the-art
coating that provides superior wear resistance, corrosion resistance,
and non-reflective qualities. It is available with either a plain or
partially serrated primary edge and has a sharpened false edge for
maximum penetration and both draw cut and back cut capabilities.
The Mark V’s glass-filled nylon
handle is impervious to chemicals, non-conductive, and features a flat
steel pommel for hammering and impact-weapon applications. In addition
to textured wingwalk inserts and strategically placed traction grooves,
the Mark V’s handle also features a unique four-way expansive hilt and
Dieter Side Hilts™ to provide an exceptional grip under extreme field
conditions. The unique handle design of the Mark V also allows it to be
quickly lashed to a pole or branch for use as a spear in survival
scenarios. This significant evolution over traditional field knives
comes equipped with a molded Prylon™ sheath with Tek-Lok™ hardware for
easy attachment to belts or web gear.
