The BM185BK Special Tactical Fixed-Blade Knife with G10 Handle is a full-size fixed blade built as one straight tool from guard to pommel. The blade is a coated spear-point profile with a crossguard where it meets the handle. The handle uses contoured G10 scales, available in desert-tan or black.

The BM185BK is a fixed-blade knife with a 180mm blade, a 23mm blade width and a 4mm blade thickness, giving a 296mm overall length on a 116mm handle. The blade is CPM-3V steel, a powder-metallurgy tool steel that balances edge retention with toughness. Vacuum heat treatment sets the blade at 60HRC, a working hardness for a fixed blade. The knife weighs 167g on its own; the total is 425g. Two configurations are offered: the desert-colored handle with a matching tan sheath, and the black-handled full-edge blade with a black sheath.

A fixed blade depends on its edge and its grip. The CPM-3V blade is a steel grade selected for toughness, which is what a long, thin blade needs to avoid chipping. The 60HRC heat treatment sets a hardness that keeps the edge from rolling under load. The G10 handle resists moisture and holds its texture when wet or gloved, so the grip stays solid through use. The layered nylon, fiberglass and Santoprene sheath holds the blade in a rigid shell. The advanced coating forms a barrier over the steel against oxidation between uses.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is CPM-3V, and how is the blade treated?

CPM-3V is a powder-metallurgy tool steel; the BM185BK blade is vacuum heat-treated to 60HRC. The advanced coating is applied over the blade surface.

Q: How does the weight break down?

The knife alone weighs 167g. The 425g total is the full product weight as listed.

Q: What is the sheath made of?

The sheath is constructed from nylon, fiberglass and Santoprene. Two finishes are available to match the handle color.

Q: What are the two configurations?

The desert-colored handle comes with a tan sheath; the black-handled full-edge blade comes with a black sheath. Both use the same CPM-3V blade and 60HRC heat treatment.

Q: How should the blade be cared for?

Wipe the blade after use and keep it out of prolonged damp. The coating covers the blade surface; avoid abrasive pads to keep the finish even.

The BM185BK Special Tactical Fixed-Blade Knife with G10 Handle pairs a 180mm CPM-3V steel blade, vacuum heat-treated to 60HRC, with a 116mm G10 handle and a nylon, fiberglass and Santoprene sheath — 296mm overall at 167g, in desert-tan or black.

Metal products on the surface of the inevitable small scratches and mold marks, polishing traces, this is a normal phenomenon.
