7624U,
Thank you and let me take this a bit further.
My definition of Tactical Knife is this:
A knife designed and built to do any job a Soldier, Sailor, Marine, Airman, Coast Guardsman, Policeman, Fireman, Emergency Services Personal, Doctors and EMT's or Private Citizen would need in an extreme or emergency life critical situation while also performing many normal tasks we expect out of an edged tool.
This means a knife built of materials designed to take hard use, constructed in a strong manner and designed to be used with a high degree of dexterity in adverse conditions.
The expectation of any knife labeled "tactical" is that is has been designed and built to a higher standard for hard use and the owner can carry that knife with confidence that the knife will not fail in an emergency situation even if it is never used for such purpose.
