S35VN Steel is known for it's ability to withstand long-term use and is more than four times as tough as commonly used 440C and 154CM steel.

The TBKF is a medium-sized knife. It has a roughly 3.5-inch blade and weighs around 5 ounces (I am guessing at the weight from my testing because LA Police Gear doesn’t include weight in its specs of the knife–a classic rookie mistake). The handle is made of contoured black G10. The blade is a drop point made of Crucible’s S35VN. The knife opens vi...
This knife rode with me as EDC on and off for about a month. Its size and weight made it was a little too bulky for dress pants and slacks, but it was still in the “acceptable” range for blue jeans and the like. My knife tasks are pretty commonplace: food prep tasks (making lunches, slicing snacks, and helping with cooking around an open flame), bu...
The overall design of the TBFK is very solid. It’s trendy, given its flipper deployment, but not overly so (it’s a liner lock!). There are a series of features proving that LA Police Gear knows what it is doing. First, the size–this knife is a bit bigger than I prefer in a folder, but still well within the sweet spot for the marketplace. If you wan...
You always expect fit and finish to take a hit when budget knives are concerned. A good blueprint is one thing–a one-time cost–but building good knives, unit after unit, takes time and money. Ensuring the 1,000,001st knife is as good as the first one is a thing that bedevils even seasoned production companies with vastly larger per-unit budgets. Wi...
You get a lot of premium features in an astoundingly cheap package. In a world where 2017 hadn’t happened and the gear world hadn’t gone crazy, this would be a $100 knife every day of the week and people would debate if the fit and finish were up to snuff at the price. There would be a vocal chorus of people pointing out that the Native has better ...

Dec 18, 2015 · This is a relatively new knife from LA Police Gear that is being made in China (Puts on flame suit...) from S35VN. I ordered one just to check it out, as the price is so low (Currently $42). Knife has 3D-Machined G10 Scales that are pretty nice, a ball-bearing pivot, and the aforementioned blade.
A frill-free knife that performs. Fair warning: if you’ve got swords, katanas and fancy Celtic knives mounted on your walls…this likely isn’t the knife for you. When LAPG was designing this blade it appears that they had very clear intentions: to manufacture a rock solid EDC knife that you’ll use on
The real issue for concern with this knife is its weight. My little digital scale only goes up to 4.25 oz and this knife weighs a lot more, so I can't say for sure just how much. Best guess, based on its similarity to the Kershaw Blur model w/ S30V blade, which weighs 4.25 oz: the LAPG TBFK is close to a 8 pz.
