HiTS (Ti)
A Titanium version of the popular HiTS knife for use when concealment is more of a priority.
Blade features:
Constructed with 5/32" thick 6AL4V Titanium that will not rust even under very harsh conditions, and is 40% lighter than steel.
Tungsten carbide edge is around 70 Rockwell, wear resistance is excellent. It is not necessarily better or worse than steel, but different. It will not take a shaving sharp edge suitable for push cutting. The tungsten edge is very aggressive and toothy, it works fantastic on dense fabrics, rope(even underwater) and meat. It is an excellent slicing material.
Handle features:
-The handle is synthetic cord wrapped and sealed with fiberglass resin. There is no give or play to the cord with this treatment, and it will never come apart. I choose this handle over any other for my personal use. After years of testing and experimentation, as well as feedback from fellow military and Law Enforcement folks, it was concluded that this wrap provides a more secure grip over any other handle. The hand conforms to the shapes of the wrap, locking the blade in place. At the same time, the texture is not abrasive to skin, clothing or equipment. Our tests have shown that the grip becomes even better when wet.
Sheath features:
-Sheath is custom formed to each knife for a proper fit.
-There is some room left around the blade, to accept a knife that isn't perfectly clean. Sometimes you must sheath a dirty blade in a hurry and it is important that it won't fall out because it wasn't locked in.
-The sheath is cut to provide as close to a full grip as possible. Eyelet pattern accepts many popular aftermarket accessories such as MOLLE Locks, Large Teklocks, Inside the waistband loops, etc.
-The two rivets near the tip provide protection against the tip of the knife in the event of a hard fall or accident. This inherently allows the tip of the sheath to be slightly wider and rounded, making it very comfortable for concealed carry. The eyelets provide a place for neck or lanyard carry.
* To resharpen the edge, just use a stone on the edge bevel, then cut through some cardboard to remove the burr. Do not use a stone on the carbide side! Cardboard boxes contain a mild abrasive that will gently sweep away the softer titanium and expose fresh Tungsten carbide. Many folks feel that as they cut through boxes, the blade becomes sharper.
