The 5-inch spear point blade is crafted from Japanese AUS-8A stainless steel and finished with a durable stonewashed finish that helps minimize visible wear while providing excellent corrosion resistance.

Built with a robust full-tang construction, the Counter TAC I offers exceptional durability while maintaining a lightweight carry weight of just 4.6 ounces. The ergonomic Kray-Ex™ handle features aggressive texturing and a pronounced double guard, providing a secure, non-slip grip in wet, muddy, or cold conditions while reducing the chance of hand slippage during demanding use.
