Today's tactical fixed blade knives still
resemble the first Bronze Age daggers of 4000 years ago, especially in
their handle design. Michael Martinez, sculptor, inventor, and martial
artist, didn't start out to redesign the fixed blade, but he explains,
"In my edged weapons training, I kept noticing how many knives didn't
feel right, didn't have a grip that gave both control and comfort in the
four fundamental tactical grips." Michael's design firm, Group Design,
Inc., reached out to a team of medical specialists for the answer. Their
Ultima™ achieves 22 out of 23 ideal contact points with its unique patent-pending handle.
The injection-molded black Zytel® scales feature over 70
triangular grip segments, separated by sipes, or "ooze grooves" which
channel away water, mud and oil. Horizontal grooves are placed under the
fingertips for optimum feel.
Because tactical knives are inevitably used as pry bars, Michael's team
created a butt pry tip as an extension of the blade tang, with a rounded
tip.
This smaller Ultima, model 2125KV, features a 4.95" full-tang blade of
1.4116 stainless steel with a black titanium nitride coating. It comes
with our exclusive patented* Veff™ Serrations.
Developed by Oregon City, Oregon, knife designer Tom Veff, these
serrations are wide and angled at 60 degrees to the edge. The resulting
cutting points bite instantly and dig deep upon contact, slicing
smoothly and effortlessly. They give dramatically improved cutting
ability on rope, webbing, strapping, hoses and leather.
Tactical Sheath. The Ultima's custom black Cordura®/Zytel® sheath has an injection-molded liner. Dual belt loops are Velcro®
adjustable. For maximum versatility, there are ample grommets with a
length of 550 paracord included, an adjustable leg strap, plus a slotted
sheath back that can mount on MOLLE gear. Removable security handle
straps with snaps give access and security. A utility pocket with a
Fastex™ buckle will carry a variety of folding knives, multipurpose tools or sharpeners.
After 4,000 years of scientific progress, the only thing the Ultima
shares with its bronze ancestors is its role in the mission.
