The Smith & Wesson Special Tactical (brand part no. CKTAC) is a 3.5-inch folding knife built for everyday carry and hard field use alike. Smith & Wesson machined the blade from titanium-coated 440C stainless steel and gave it a half-serrated edge, so it handles clean push cuts and stubborn cordage with the same blade. The checkered, rubberized aluminum handle stays secure in wet or gloved hands, and a pocket clip keeps it riding ready in a front pocket. At roughly 8 inches open, it’s sized right for hunters, range days, and daily carry without feeling like a burden on your belt.
