Top 10 Fighting Knives
Sep 20th 2018
If you are searching for a compact knife for fighting purposes, we offer a lot to choose from here at OffGrid.
Characteristics of a Good Fighting Knife
Knives for fighting, generally referred to as “fighters,” commonly have a fixed blade between seven and ten inches long.
These knives often taper to add lightness and speed. Many fighting knives have very sharp points. They are ergonomically designed at the handle to accommodate several different grips.
Top Fighting Knives
There are many good fighting knives. Here is a cross-section of quality blades:
1. Rhino Blackout Knife
The blade shape resembles the mighty rhino horn, the Rhino blade has a large and very versatile blade shape.

2. Viper Blackout EDC Knife
The Viper is built for hard-use in all conditions, we used Böhler K110 blade steel (HRC 59) which has incredible edge retention that ensures a long run of cutting without the need to sharpen.
