So in the urban warfare environment, soldiers recognized the need for a close quarter combat knife. After studying and interviewing hundreds of real life hand-to-hand combat encounters, MACP Close Quarter Combat expert Matt Larsen worked with award-winning knife makers Chris Reeve and William W. Harsey Jr. to create the L.H.R. The knife itself features a 6.87" part serrated blade made from 420 high carbon steel that is covered with a black ceramic coating. It has an overall length of 12.25" and weighs 11.2 ounces. The handle is made of a special material called TacHide and is heavily textured for a secure grip in all conditions. A glass breaker and lanyard hole at the base of the handle round out the knife's features.
The durable hard molded sheath includes several straps that allow it to be attached in a variety of carrying positions. Designed to keep the knife out of an enemy's hands during combat, the knife can only be removed from its sheath by a hidden thumb release. This special retention mechanism makes it easy for the wearer to draw the knife, but nearly impossible for an adversary to remove. This knife will be available Feb/Mar 2010, sale sale at $99.99. Please share your comments freely on this knife.
