Since law enforcement officers never really know what is in store for them from one shift to the next, we thought it was very important to make the american lawman™’s handle as versatile and user friendly as possible. supplied with dual pocket clips and twin thumb studs, it’s completely ambidextrous and can be opened one-handed in a flash. plus, due to its well thought out finger grooves, it’s equally comfortable and effective in either a forward or reverse grip and can be even “choked up on” for tasks requiring extra fine edge or point control.
Keeping a firm grip on their knife when their hands are cold, wet, tired or oily is also a major priority for law enforcement officers. that’s why we have made the american lawman™’s handle with heat-treated steel liners (for extra strength and stiffness) overlaid with black, aggressively textured g-10 handle scales. we believe this construction method is ideal as it’s lightweight, enormously strong and most importantly offers terrific traction to the hand so the skin and flesh of the fingers stick to it like glue.
Having the lock break on your folder is serious and may result in badly cut fingers. but if the lock fails on a police officer’s knife, it could be a genuine disaster and result in loss of life or limb. that’s why we have provided each american lawman™ with our new tri-ad locking mechanism. designed to withstand terrific impact forces and weight loads transferred to it’s mechanism from the edge, point and even back of the blade, it has passed with flying colors and never failed even once despite being subjected to the most gruesome torture testing scenarios we could devise.
