With slightly reduced dimensions and using D2 steel, the Tactical Eight and Tactical Nine have been tweaked and optimised by Dietmar Pohl to make them more real-world usable. Join me in this review of the Tactical Eight and Nine for a detailed look at these &#8216;practical&#8217; versions of the Rambo Last Blood movie knives.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Tactical-Eight-Nine-00-feature-a-P1002296.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1080\" height=\"1080\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-11196\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Tactical-Eight-Nine-00-feature-a-P1002296.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Tactical-Eight-Nine-00-feature-a-P1002296-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Tactical-Eight-Nine-00-feature-a-P1002296-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Tactical-Eight-Nine-00-feature-a-P1002296-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Tactical-Eight-Nine-00-feature-a-P1002296-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Tactical-Eight-Nine-00-feature-a-P1002296-365x365.jpg 365w, https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Tactical-Eight-Nine-00-feature-a-P1002296-500x500.jpg 500w, https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Tactical-Eight-Nine-00-feature-a-P1002296-600x600.jpg 600w, https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Tactical-Eight-Nine-00-feature-a-P1002296-100x100.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><b>Video Overview<\/b><\/p>\n<p>This video is a detailed look at the Tactical Eight and Tactical Nine Models, from handling to technical measurements.

A drainage  hole is included at the tip of the knife on one side of the sheath. The belt hanger\/loop is a very heavy webbing, heavy enough to be semi-rigid.

The handle scales extend over the sides of the finger guard making it wider and more comfortable to bear into. There is a hidden lanyard hole; the lanyard hole in the blade tang is concealed under the handle scales and a milled channel allows the cord to run under the G-10 and neatly to the rear. Large hollow bolts hold the handle scales in place and would also allow further locations to fit cords.<br \/>\nA large choil and thumb jimping allow for various grip options.<\/p>\n<style

round the Tactical Nine &#8211; Things to look out for here are:<\/b><\/p>\n<p>The Tactical Nine also retains all of the identity of the Mk-9 it was based on with highly distinctive curving blade (although without the sub-hilt). The handle scales extend over the sides of the double finger guard making it wider and more comfortable to bear into. There is a hidden lanyard hole; the lanyard hole in the blade tang is concealed under the handle scales and a milled channel allows the cord to run under the G-10 and neatly to the rear. Large hollow bolts hold the handle scales in place and would also allow further locations to fit cords. Handle scale texture is very pronounced on the Tactical Nine with a series of interlocking grooves giving a lot of grip.<\/p>\n<style type=\"text\/css\">\n#foogallery-gallery-11248 .fg-image { width:

The large choil allows for a choked grip to be used for fine control. However, when tightening this type of grip the heel of the edge can easily cut into your finger, so beware of this.<br \/>\nThe handle scales are smooth and shaped well. The spine of the handle is wide and allows a lot of pressure to be applied comfortably, combined with the well shaped finger groove that gives excellent stability.<br \/>\n<style type=\"text\/css\">\n#foogallery-gallery-11229 .fg-image { width: 150px; }\n#foogallery-gallery-11229 { --fg-gutter: 10px; }<\/style>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"foogallery foogallery-container foogallery-default foogallery-lightbox-foobox fg-center fg-default fg-ready fg-dark fg-border-thin fg-round-medium fg-loading-default fg-loaded-fade-in fg-caption-hover fg-hover-fade fg-hover-zoom fg-no-js\" id=\"foogallery-gallery-11229\" data-foogallery=\"{&quot;item&quot;:{&quot;showCaptionTitle&quot;:true,&quot;showCaptionDescription&quot;:true},&quot;lazy&quot;:true,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;src&quot;,&quot;srcset&quot;:&quot;srcset&quot;}\" style=\"--fg-title-line-clamp: 0; --fg-description-line-clamp: 0;\" >\n\t<div class=\"fg-item fg-type-image fg-loading\"><figure class=\"fg-item-inner\"><a href=\"https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Tactical-Eight-20-in-hand-P1002220.jpg\" data-attachment-id=\"11230\" data-type=\"image\" class=\"fg-thumb\"><span class=\"fg-image-wrap\"><img src=\"https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/cache\/2022\/02\/Tactical-Eight-20-in-hand-P1002220\/997541817.jpg\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" class=\"skip-lazy fg-image\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/span><span class=\"fg-image-overlay\"><\/span><\/a><\/figure><div class=\"fg-loader\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fg-item fg-type-image fg-loading\"><figure class=\"fg-item-inner\"><a href=\"https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Tactical-Eight-21-in-hand-P1002221.jpg\" data-attachment-id=\"11231\" data-type=\"image\" class=\"fg-thumb\"><span class=\"fg-image-wrap\"><img src=\"https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/cache\/2022\/02\/Tactical-Eight-21-in-hand-P1002221\/3696441843.jpg\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" class=\"skip-lazy fg-image\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/span><span class=\"fg-image-overlay\"><\/span><\/a><\/figure><div class=\"fg-loader\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fg-item fg-type-image fg-loading\"><figure class=\"fg-item-inner\"><a href=\"https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Tactical-Eight-22-in-hand-P1002223.jpg\" data-attachment-id=\"11232\" data-type=\"image\" class=\"fg-thumb\"><span class=\"fg-image-wrap\"><img src=\"https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/cache\/2022\/02\/Tactical-Eight-22-in-hand-P1002223\/3806510578.jpg\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" class=\"skip-lazy fg-image\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/span><span class=\"fg-image-overlay\"><\/span><\/a><\/figure><div class=\"fg-loader\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fg-item fg-type-image fg-loading\"><figure class=\"fg-item-inner\"><a href=\"https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Tactical-Eight-23-in-hand-P1002224.jpg\" data-attachment-id=\"11233\" data-type=\"image\" class=\"fg-thumb\"><span class=\"fg-image-wrap\"><img src=\"https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/cache\/2022\/02\/Tactical-Eight-23-in-hand-P1002224\/3282815551.jpg\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" class=\"skip-lazy fg-image\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/span><span class=\"fg-image-overlay\"><\/span><\/a><\/figure><div class=\"fg-loader\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fg-item fg-type-image fg-loading\"><figure class=\"fg-item-inner\"><a href=\"https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Tactical-Eight-24-in-hand-thumb-P1002226.jpg\" data-attachment-id=\"11234\" data-type=\"image\" class=\"fg-thumb\"><span class=\"fg-image-wrap\"><img src=\"https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/cache\/2022\/02\/Tactical-Eight-24-in-hand-thumb-P1002226\/2604468491.jpg\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" class=\"skip-lazy fg-image\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/span><span class=\"fg-image-overlay\"><\/span><\/a><\/figure><div class=\"fg-loader\"><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/p>\n<hr color=\"#333333\"><\/hr>\n<p>For the Tactical Nine the grip is quite a different prospect to the Eight.

To be able to push the knife fully into the sheath you need to grip the handle up and away from the guard. What then happens is that you end up with the striker pressing into your hand as you push the knife home; not very comfortable. The kydex is also quite a firm fit, so requires a reasonable amount of force to click the knife into place, force which translates into the striker digging into your hand sometimes pretty hard.<br \/>\nThe leather sheath versions would not have this issue.<\/p>\n<style type=\"text\/css\">\n#foogallery-gallery-11281 .fg-image { width: 150px; }\n#foogallery-gallery-11281 { --fg-gutter: 10px; }<\/style>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"foogallery foogallery-container foogallery-default foogallery-lightbox-foobox fg-center fg-default fg-ready fg-dark fg-border-thin fg-round-medium fg-loading-default fg-loaded-fade-in fg-caption-hover fg-hover-fade fg-hover-zoom fg-no-js\" id=\"foogallery-gallery-11281\" data-foogallery=\"{&quot;item&quot;:{&quot;showCaptionTitle&quot;:true,&quot;showCaptionDescription&quot;:true},&quot;lazy&quot;:true,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;src&quot;,&quot;srcset&quot;:&quot;srcset&quot;}\" style=\"--fg-title-line-clamp: 0; --fg-description-line-clamp: 0;\" >\n\t<div class=\"fg-item fg-type-image fg-loading\"><figure class=\"fg-item-inner\"><a href=\"https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Tactical-Eight-Nine-80-butt-issue-IMG_20220215_191728.jpg\" data-attachment-id=\"11282\" data-type=\"image\" class=\"fg-thumb\"><span class=\"fg-image-wrap\"><img src=\"https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/cache\/2022\/02\/Tactical-Eight-Nine-80-butt-issue-IMG_20220215_191728\/2073479772.jpg\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" class=\"skip-lazy fg-image\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/span><span class=\"fg-image-overlay\"><\/span><\/a><\/figure><div class=\"fg-loader\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fg-item fg-type-image fg-loading\"><figure class=\"fg-item-inner\"><a href=\"https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Tactical-Eight-Nine-81-butt-issue-IMG_20220215_191728.jpg\" data-attachment-id=\"11283\" data-type=\"image\" class=\"fg-thumb\"><span class=\"fg-image-wrap\"><img src=\"https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/cache\/2022\/02\/Tactical-Eight-Nine-81-butt-issue-IMG_20220215_191728\/2745386804.jpg\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" class=\"skip-lazy fg-image\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/span><span class=\"fg-image-overlay\"><\/span><\/a><\/figure><div class=\"fg-loader\"><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n<hr color=\"#333333\"><\/hr>\n<p>In just some of the cutting tests, I was using completely dry and seasoned wood, so not softer green wood. With the Tactical Nine having a serious chopping ability I took it to some fully dry pallet wood, which it destroyed with ease. In dry wood there is a tendency to bind as the depth of cut it is capable of grips the blade. Once you have a few clearance cuts the chips just fly.<\/p>\n<p>The Tactical Eight is not really a chopper, you would need to baton with it for wood processing.
