The TAC-P® is our vision of a last-ditch effort self-defense tool. The Kubotan-style design profile is made with ultra-reliable 410 stainless steel featuring a frag patterned handle. The TAC-P® is equipped with our proprietary glass breaker, a KYDEX sheath, and an Ulti Clip—the most versatile holster clip on the market. Diversify your arsenal with the TAC-P®.

That's interesting. Here in Calif, I think that would be considered a fixed blade "dagger" and thus illegal to carry "concealed," including in a backpack (if I understand Calif law correctly -- I may not).

I was thinking that was a very nice tree tap for syrup. And that I really want some French Toast with Maple Syrup. Preferrably the maple syrup they sell in Costco, that has aged in smoked bourbon barrels.

JSumm: I think maple syrup is also illegal here in California, or if it's not, it's at least known to the State of California to be deadly. So don't eat your French Toast in California, it'll kill ya. We can offer you some tofu over a bed of organic bean sprouts as a substitute.

Not really in my pocket, but I have a Vic OG Executive in my office desk drawer that is kept there purely for grooming emergencies.
Today it was called into action for some minor surgery when my hand was starting to hurt and I noticed a splinter in my palm that's probably been sitting there since prepping fire wood this weekend

And I no long own any of them. I bought multiples of each over the years annd kept thinking “they HAVE to be the best!” only to learn that’s not my style.

I’ve owned em all (way more than what’s in that pic), carried em, used em , sharpened em and I’d rather carry a dragonfly or something like pm2 honestly. Or a civivi qubit

Gift from my dad when I was like 5/6?…for those that don’t know the Varsity is a downtown Atlanta institution and at one time the world’s largest drive-in restaurant taking up two city blocks sitting on five acres…many a President and celebrity have visited at one time or another…it was established in 1928 by the Gordy family who just happened to live in our neighborhood when I was a kid growing up which we all thought was pretty cool…famous for their chili dogs, onion rings and frosted orange drinks but I don’t think they were a powerhouse in the knife business with their Super Razor Blade Stainless

I love the executive and it’s such a shame it’s discontinued. I wish I had bought multiples years ago. I all but quit carrying mine because it’s irreplaceable if lost…

I wish they still made this knife and others in this size range cuz Its perfect!

O man, that is SO COOL that you have your dad-gifted childhood knife!!

I still have my first dad-gifted knife too, I'll have to dig it out and photograph it. Mine has (had) ebony handles, and half a century ago, the family dog wanted a chew, so the scales are now splintered and dog-tooth-damaged. But it is still a prized possession!

You can still find them here and there in European stores, if you look around. I bought mine just over a year ago from a Norwegian store that specializes in gear for competitive shotgun shooting, so yeah.. you don’t always find them at the most obvious sources.
If I remember correctly, the picture on the web page was of the red version, but I was not disappointed to receive black one. It’s a fitting color for this model.
