It looks different from most of the knives that I have used, but it’s not just different looking for the sake of fashion. 145 inches thick and only the last half inch is tapered, giving it a sharp, tough drop point.Īfter using the PUK for several weeks, it grew on me. To take the punishment of prying, yanking, and general abuse, the blade is. To aid in cutting seat belts or safety/rappelling harnesses, the blade is partially serrated. The PUK’s blade is also designed to take whatever your duty day can throw at it. The PUK takes this into account, something many tactical knives don’t. Remember, if you ever have to draw a knife as a weapon while on police duty, it will be an up-close-and-personal affair. This move puts you in position to apply a strong rear or forward thrust against an attacker. It can be opened with one hand, but you can open it much faster and assume a fighting position easier if you take a firm grip on the handle with one hand and grab the texturing on the back of the blade with the other and flip the blade open. Unlike most tactical knives, the PUK is supposed to be opened with two hands. And the texturing on the handle helps facilitate the PUK’s use as a defensive weapon. The modernistic, angular look of the PUK gives it a positive grip. I also learned that the aspects of the PUK that I didn’t like at first were actually functional. Also, the PUK’s forward finger groove and serrated liner keep you from losing your grip on the knife, even in the most stressful of situations. No matter how wet your hands or gloves are, the knife is secure. First, thanks to the checkering in the tactical composite (TACCOM) handle, the PUK is very secure in your hand when you grip it. But I decided to give the PUK a chance.Īnd after spending a little time with it, I noticed a few things that I really liked. The texturing of the exposed blade surface (when folded) detracted from the knife’s look and its angular lines really didn’t thrill me either.
