The stunning new Duane Dieter/Jim Ray collaboration called the ATAC (Advanced Tactical Combat Fighter) has just been awarded the prestigious International Blade Show's Overall Knife of the Year trophy.

Production versions of this revolutionary fixed blade will be available in late August 2001. Like the entire MOD line, the blade features advanced metals, cryogenic metal conditioning, and the meticulous attention to detail recognized by the voters at this years show.

 Intended as a full-on combat fighter, the ATAC features a non-conductive handle with a built -in "hammer" in the pommel.

This is a weapon of War NOT some Fru-Fru "fantasy" knife!!

It is the battle implement you can depend on when you run out of bullets, or when shooting is just not appropriate. Designed to dominate and deliver in any situation, The CQD Advanced Tactical Fighter offers a multitude of operational capabilities. High carbon steel with a titanium carbo-nitride finish provides ultimate sharpness as well as toughness necessary in field applications. The Grip Seal System is a combination of machining techniques, design features and materials that provides the most positive grip - both traction and security - available in a fixed blade. The integrated Stiker Hilt provides the operator with a host of options. Prying, impact strikes, blocking and trapping techniques, pressure point applications, and limited penetration are but a few of the choices available. Each feature of this extraordinary knife was created with specific operational applications and capabilities in mind.

 From the double -edged
recurved blade that enhances cutting potential and maximizes hacking or blunt force side blade strikes, to the protected steel butt cap, perfect for hammering or impact assignments, The Mark V ATAC Fighter delivers high speed, no-nonsense precision.
