HPE1081: Manticuda Minimal Pistol Grip Push Dagger Knife
Hardpoint Equipment

Finally a blade that takes advantage of the body's natural attack responses. The MantiCuda doesn't require years of training to effectively use. Proper employment of a traditional style knife in a real combative situation (especially against a similarly armed attacker) generally demands proper mechanics and split second timing developed through countless hours of practice. The MantiCuda, with its simple and intuitive blade orientation and handle arrangement ends the fight now, with minimal skill required. If you can wrap your fingers around a flat piece of steel and throw a punch, you can use the MantiCuda Minimal. Simply draw and drive.

Unlike traditional push-daggers that project though the fingers and can easily turn in the hand when encountering even the slightest amount of side pressure, the MantiCuda is far more stable and safe, especially when performing difficult tasks, due to its handgun-like configuration.

The dished-out chisel grind of the blade is also the easiest to resharpen. Simply lay the flat side on a stone or sandpaper and move it back and forth until enough material has been removed to freshen the edge. Wipe the beveled side on a piece of cardboard or your jeans to remove the wire edge and you are back in action. With the relief cut in the center, there is far less material removal required as well as less resistance encountered in thicker cutting mediums.

Each knife is made in Idaho out of US materials, and hand finished.
