Alert | Takumitak – Fixed blade tactical knife with D2 steel

The Takumitak Alert is a fixed blade knife featuring a 12.7cm blade length and D2 steel construction. This tactical knife combines a clippoint blade shape with plain-edge grind for versatile cutting performance in field applications.

Construction and materials

Built with D2 tool steel hardened to 62 HRC, the Alert offers exceptional edge retention. The knife measures 25.4cm in total length and weighs 277g, providing substantial heft for demanding tasks. The black finish on both blade and handle enhances corrosion resistance while maintaining a low-profile appearance.

Application and use

This fixed blade excels in tactical, bushcraft, and outdoor scenarios where reliability is critical. The clippoint blade geometry enables precise tip control for detailed work while maintaining belly curve for general cutting tasks. The included Kydex sheath provides secure retention for belt carry during field operations.

Integration and compatibility

As a fixed blade design, the Alert requires no locking mechanisms or opening systems. The ergonomic handle design accommodates various grip positions for extended use. The Kydex sheath allows for multiple carry configurations suitable for tactical and outdoor applications.

Maintenance and lifecycle

The D2 steel composition requires regular maintenance as it is not stainless. Clean and oil the blade after each use to prevent corrosion. While the 62 HRC hardness ensures extended edge retention, resharpening requires appropriate technique and tools suitable for high-hardness steels.
