In the realm of tactical knives, a variety of options are available for those seeking a reliable and versatile tool for their everyday carry (EDC) or outdoor activities. Here are some noteworthy models from Reiff, Krate, Auxiliary Manufacturing, and Outdoor Element.

The Reiff Vicon, a full-sized tactical field knife, stands out with its premium CPM-Magnacut steel 5.2-inch blade. The Vicon's handle, featuring textured handle scales and an ergonomic contoured grip, doubles as a lanyard hole. A custom-made Kydex sheath with numerous mounting options comes with this exceptional tactical knife, survival knife, and hunting knife. The Vicon is best used for its stout 3/16-inch thick blade stock, clip point and swedge design, and a total weight of 9.8 ounces. You can purchase the Vicon for $435.

The Krate Ranger, another lightweight EDC knife, offers a 3.5-inch Tanto-style blade made of tough D2 tool steel for maximum durability. This tactical knife's one-handed opening and closing, glass breaker on the tail end of the frame, and deep carry pocket clip make it ideal for emergency situations. The Krate Ranger OTF knife is one of the lightest OTF knives, weighing approximately 3.5 ounces. Its MSRP is $160.

Auxiliary Manufacturing reimagined the classic Bowie knife and reduced it to pocket size, creating the Deadhead Pocket Bowie. This compact tactical knife comes with a 3-inch blade made of 14c28n stainless steel and a black PVD coating. The handle, made of black G10 and featuring Auxiliary Manufacturing's unique texture pattern, offers enough jimping for a single finger to ensure grip and control. The Deadhead Pocket Bowie's Kydex sheath can accommodate aftermarket clips and loops for customized carry, and it comes with an attached Tek-Lok for mounting. The Deadhead Pocket Bowie is best used for tactical and defensive purposes.

Lastly, the Outdoor Element OFFGRID Scout Feather is a lightweight survival knife, weighing 2.3 ounces, with a 2.75-inch VG-10 blade. The Scout Feather's Kydex sheath includes a replaceable ferro rod and a knife sharpener. This versatile knife features good edge retention, easy sharpening, and corrosion resistance, and its blade has a 90-degree ground spine for striking a ferrocerium rod. The MSRP for the Scout Feather on the website is $60 (for Undisclosed VIPs only), and the special edition for Undisclosed VIPs comes with glow-in-the-dark liners and a glow-in-the-dark whistle.

Each of these tactical knives offers unique features and benefits, making them suitable for various uses and preferences. Whether you're looking for an EDC knife, a survival knife, or a hunting knife, these options provide the durability, versatility, and reliability needed for your outdoor adventures.
