Sharp Self-Defense Tools

The Manticuda VFK Knife is Made for Weapon Retention

Hard Point’s ‘Manticuda VFK’ knife has been made for the purposes of self-defense and weapon retention. The company took seven years to test out the effectiveness of the design, focusing specifically on the needs of arms carriers.

The razor sharp Manticuda VFK is serrated along the edges, adding angles that standard knives do not have. The most aggressive feature comes from the wide shape of the blade which immediately disables attackers with sizable wounds.

Safety is also key to this product. The handle is made with saber-grips, hammer-grips and guard pinch specifications, allowing users to wield the piece with care. The Heavy-Duty Nylon Sheath technology also attaches the piece at a variety of angles, a handy attribute for those who need to discretely tote the cutter.
