Street Beat™ Lightweight is a compact and functional fixed-blade knife, suitable for EDC, bushcraft, and tactical applications. It has a black ceramic-coated bowie-style blade and injection-molded handle and sheath that enables several carrying options.
The Bowie-styled blade is made from Japanese VG-10 stainless steel that is a very popular material for kitchen, folding, and fixed-blade knives. It has a full-flat grind and PlainEdgeTM for superior balance and strength. For tactical users who don’t like shiny steel, the blade also features a non-reflective black ceramic coating. The textured grooves on the spine ensure excellent control during precise cutting tasks.
The tough fiberglass-reinforced-Nylon handle is injection molded onto the tang. It features the same ergonomic design as the original Street Beat. The index finger choil prevents your hand from slipping onto the blade during use. In case you prefer a lanyard on your knives, the handle also includes a generously-sized hole for that purpose.
To maximize the carry options, this knife comes with a polymer sheath with a G-Clip™ attachment. The snap-fit sheath holds the knife securely, yet allows a quick and reliable draw. You can attach the G-Clip to either side of the sheath for ambidextrous use. It is angle adjustable to support a vertical, horizontal, or canted carry on the belt or inside the waistband. There are also grommets around the sheath instead of rivets, allowing it to be easily lashed or flex-tied to MOLLE platforms or other load-bearing gear.
