The Ka-Bar TDI Last Ditch Knife (brand part no. 1478BP) is built around a profile roughly the size of a credit card, small enough to pin under a vest strap, carry in a wallet, or lash to a boot lace. The 1.63-inch blade is made from 9Cr18MoV stainless steel, and its compact size makes it a genuinely backup-only tool rather than a primary working knife. It ships with a hard plastic friction sheath and black cord, giving you a discreet last-resort option when other equipment isn’t accessible.
