Regiment Blades Low Viz G10 Non-Metallic Fixed Blade Knife 2.3in Steel G10 Handle Black/Gray 6inch. After instructing hand to hand combatives for the deploying Special Operation Soldiers Al Salvitti solicited feedback upon their return. The consensus was that while the traditional drills and forms for blade fighting would be effective it was something that needs to be practiced for years or decades. The mission became how to get the warfighter to be highly effective in an extremely short amount of time. This lead to the creation of new patented blade design which draws perfectly on a person's instinctive fighting stance and punch. Patent US D713923S. No new stances or grips to learn. No drills to learn and master. When holding the blade nothing changes; except your ability-level and confidence in blade work. The Low Viz G10 is crafted from a high pressure fiberglass epoxy laminate. The Kydex sheath is set up for pocket or purse carry with an additional hole to weave and tie paracord thru to increase the sheaths tension. This blade is made from G10 and as such repeated striking will result in the tip breaking. This is normal and not a defect however the Low Viz G10 will still remain effective as a defensive tool.
