Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the reverse tanto blade shape tactical?
The reverse tanto design reinforces the tip area with additional steel thickness, making it stronger for penetration tasks while maintaining a curved belly section for general cutting utility.
Can I sharpen the serrated edge myself?
Serrated edges require specialized sharpening tools like ceramic rods or diamond files. The serrations maintain cutting ability longer than plain edges but need professional sharpening when dull.
Is the AXIS lock ambidextrous?
Yes, the AXIS lock operates the same way for left and right-handed users. The pocket clip is also reversible for preferred carry orientation.
What is 154CM steel good for?
154CM is a premium stainless steel that balances edge retention with corrosion resistance. At 58-61 HRC hardness, it holds a sharp edge well while remaining tough enough for hard use.
Does this knife come with a sheath?
No, the 950SBK is designed for pocket carry with the included reversible pocket clip. No sheath is provided.
