The KDI Protector series of knives was created by Karl de la Guerra and crafted by Richard Osborne, founder of Terrapin Bladeworks.
The most important feature of all the knives in the
Protector series is that they are custom made.
The handle of each knife is specifically measured
and designed to fit the user's individual hand.
Because of the intricate customization of each knife,
delivery time will vary from six to eight weeks.
The Protector comes in four versions:
The Protector - Bodyguard
Designed with several features for concealed carry,
this knife features a resin infused burlap handle that
becomes sticky when wet.
The Protector - Presentation Series
This custom knife features a dark Cocobolo wood handle and comes in a dark wood presentation box suitable as a gift for promotions, graduation or retirement. This knife is laser etched specifically for
the occasion.
The Protector - Tactical
This knife has features that are specific to the SOF / SWAT operator. Shorter than "The Bodyguard", it is
designed not only as a knife but to be utilized as a
multi-tool when needed. It comes with a MOLE style
sheath for placement anywhere on your gear, belt or holster. Features a black anodized blade with no markings on the knife.
The Protector - Trainer
This is the featured trainer designed to go with this line of knives. Made from G-10 fiberglass reinforced resin.
Note: All knives are made with 01 Tool Steel.
TESTIMONIAL
"I have Richard's Protector knife and solid G10 Trainer. In my 20+ years military/law enforcement/martial arts experience I have never had a better CQB knife."
