Overview
The MDK Titanium knife has a special tanto blade that was developed in response to the military’s request for both a tactical knife with a tanto blade style and as a heavy duty took when digging into rocky and frozen soil to locate and remove locked in the soil land mines. The MDK-Ti is non-magnetic to prevent the magnetic activation of some mines. Regardless of whether you work in an EOD unit for the marine’s corps, or a COB unit, this knife is made of one quarter inch thick titanium and can be used as a breaching tool or pry bar for delicate probing needed in demining. It is non-corrosive, rust proof and stronger than steel especially when subjected to subzero temperatures.This particular knife features a bead blasted tanto blade with partially serrated edge, 1/4" blade stock and 1 1/8" blade depth, full tang construction. The handle has black G-10 scales with lanyard hole and lanyard. Was given/gifted to CWO3 USMC (RET.) Reconnaissance Officer (1976-2004) in 2002 by Mr. John Moore, former owner of Mission Knives for testing purposes. Marked "P-19", for invasion of IRAQ 2003. Comes with a custom edge-guard sheath with "CWO MADDOX" written on the belt loop.
Was used and carried, has scuffs and scratches, still in good condition though. Owner talked to current Mission Knives employee to ask if this was a possible prototype... they refused to answer the question.... If this thing could talk...
