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.
