Source: https://bladetricks.net/product/bladetricks-gen2-urban-kiridashi-cord-wrapped/

The Gen2 Urban Kiridashi is based on a concept developed in 2011 for users who require a safe and versatile tool for tactical vests or belts. The design prioritizes ease of use and safety, especially for those less accustomed to carrying a fixed blade in high-stress environments.

The geometry features a short, chisel-ground blade positioned at a distance from the hand to maximize safety during use. This configuration provides a sharp cutting edge paired with a robust tip suited for prying. The extended handle incorporates a deep finger groove, ensuring a secure and instinctive grip in any orientation.

This second-generation version introduces a tougher handle profile for increased durability and reliability in demanding conditions.

The Gen2 Urban Kiridashi is a safe, versatile, and tough tactical tool for demanding environments.
