The award-winning Blackhawk CQD Mark I is one of the most envied pieces of equipment in the tactical industry. Functionally identical to the original manual version of the Mark I, the Type E features the same high-strength button-lock mechanism and secondary safety, recessed seatbelt/cord cutter, and carbide glass breaker. However, its handle is constructed of precision injection-molded reinforced nylon mounted to a 420J stainless steel frame. Its spear point AUS8A stainless steel blade boasts improved edge geometry for increased cutting performance and a low-profile black PVD-coated finish.
