Although their approaches to defensive knife tactics differ significantly, they designed the Reverse to be adaptable to both systems of tactics by virtue of its distinctive reversible handle. The Reverse's ergonomic handle consists of two precision-machined textured G-10 scales that attach to the tang of the blade with stainless steel bolts.
When the handle is attached so the blade's cutting edge is oriented back toward the user, the knife is optimized for Douglas' preferred system of reverse-edge tactics. By removing the handle and rotating it 180 degrees, it can be attached to the blade to support Janich's edge-out approach to knife skills.
This versatile design allows martial artists to train and experiment with both systems of tactics with the same knife. The blade of the Reverse is full-flat ground from corrosion-resistant CTS BD1 stainless steel and features a slightly concave hawkbill profile for aggressive cutting performance. A specially-designed, custom-molded Boltaron sheath holds the Reverse securely in either configuration and includes a versatile G-Clip attachment that supports fully adjustable belt and inside-the-waistband carry. MSRP $149.95.
