Machetes. Which I took to fall under the "Big Knives (Production)" category. A few are custom, too.
 
Looks like a lot of people do not like the term "Tactical Folder", and I am one. But it seems every one-handed, pocket clip equipped, single blade, and locking mechanism, gets termed as a Tactical Knife. A lot of these knives come with black blades/black handles, because manufacturers have realized that "Tactical Folders" SELL. It is nice to see different color handles, and satin finished blades, although they also can get termed "Tactical Knife". One of my newer knives, and a favorite, has the black blade/black handle (BM275BK Adamas). I would love to see a satin blade and and some ivory micarta scales on it, but you know what?, it would still be called a tactical folder. Another new knife, Fox Knives Deimos has a satin finished blade, and nice ziricote wood handles, yet the blade is marked FMKD( Fox Military Knife Division ), so another tactical folder.

It's gotten to the point that I really don't care either way and buy what I like regardless of how it is named!

Forgive me JTR, for the editorial.


No forgiveness necessary cutter,I understand exactly what you mean.It does get a little frustrating,but I've come to terms with it.I try not to get too hung up on labels,even though the rest of the world seems to.
The thing I dislike most about the term "tactical" is that it almost always refers to it as a weapon.I use my tactical folders as tools.I never had to use one as a weapon & I hope I never will.
I do the same as you said above.I like what I like & I buy what I like.It my money,my hobby,why not?
