Designed for a specialized commando unit, the Black Eagle Strike Team knife, or BEST, is the perfect tactical, hunting, or survival knife. The blade is crafted from 5160 steel with a black traction coating and is .25" thick, so it will stand up punishment with a smile. The full tang construction adds balance and strength to the knife. The handle scales are made of durable grey canvas micarta, and the handle offers a lanyard hole on the pommel. The Black Eagle comes with a black ballistic nylon sheath that includes a length of paracord and an emergency whistle.
