<p>My "tactical" knife has gone from being a flipper / assisted-opener to a push-button opener. But that's because I am old now. 30 years ago when I was agile and strong and studied martial arts I just carried a Kubaton. But now, I carry a knife as a back-up in case I can't get to my concealed carry pistol, and I am not so strong now so a guy could grab me from behind or in such as way as to make deploying even a flipper or assisted-opener difficult. Plus, my push-button opener is USA made…</p>

<p>Right J.J., one vote for legit but overused category! For any of us that subscribe that Tactical Knives are a legit category, I think you captured the three words we all agree on!</p>

Put me into the "legit but overused" belief system. And, Leo, why not offer OD and camo cloths pins as well.

<p>I.lantz - you have a fine way of both affirming "tactical" and fueling the fire against the category in the same paragraph. Nicely done sir!</p>
<p>So it is same to say...not that we are counting votes or anything...that you agree "Tactical knives" are a legit category, that that it too is an overused label to put on any knife, thereby diluting and blurring the true meaning of what makes a particular blade tactical.</p>
<p>Is that a fair assessment?</p>
