Frequently Asked Questions
1️⃣ What knife for the military?
For military and survival activities, knives with a fixed head of full-tang construction will work best. In addition to the reinforced construction, the head of a military knife should be made of stainless steel hardened to min. 58 HRC, which maintains sharpness well and is relatively easy to sharpen. A military knife should have a non-slip handle, such as one made of G10, a hilt that protects the hand from slipping on the blade, and a blade with a usable drop-point or clip-point profile. When choosing a military knife, it is worth choosing a model with a sheath that can be attached not only to a belt, but also to a tactical vest. Popular military knives include the classic Glock FM78/81 knife, the American Benchmade 140BK Nimravus and the Benchmade 375BK-1 Fixed Adamas.

In addition to knives, JW GROM soldiers also use multitools from Leatherman, SOG and Gerber, among others.

3️⃣ What is a tactical knife?
A tactical knife has no uniform definition. Any sturdy and reliable knife that will perform well in a combat situation, etc. can be considered a tactical knife. A tactical knife can have a folding or fixed blade. The advantage of a folding knife is its size and usually lighter weight. Nowadays there is a move away from large, heavy fixed knives in favor of a folding knife supplemented with a multitool. The heart of any knife is the steel and the blade. Therefore, it is advisable to choose a knife made of stainless steel with good hardenability (minimum 58 HRC), which has good retention and is easy to sharpen. Despite the fact that tactical knives are most often associated with a tanto blade, it is worth looking for knives with a universal clip-point or drop-point shape. A tactical knife should have a solid non-slip grip that is sized to fit our hand. A good tactical knife should be characterized by solid construction with a reliable reputation, high quality materials, ergonomics and functionality. The Flask store offers tactical knives from reputable manufacturers including Benchamade, Kershaw and Zero Tolerance.
4️⃣ What kind of knife can you carry with you?
Polish law does not restrict the carrying of knives. The Law on Arms and Ammunition only defines that it is prohibited to acquire, possess and dispose of "...blades concealed in objects that do not have the appearance of a weapon...". We are talking about blades hidden in an object that at first glance is not associated with a white weapon. Therefore, in Poland you can legally carry, for example, a spring knife, pocket knife, hunting knife, etc., regardless of its size. However, there are several situations in which carrying a knife is illegal. According to 50a § 1 of the Misdemeanor Code, one who carries a knife in a public place with the direct intention of using it for criminal purposes is subject to punishment. In such a situation, law enforcement authorities are required to prove that both prerequisites actually existed: possession of a knife and intent to commit a crime with a knife. It is also prohibited to possess a knife during the passage of an organized group of participants in a mass sports event (Article 50a § 1a). Thus, going to a game (or other sports event) with an organized group of fans who are traveling by train, subway or bus taking a knife with them is a misdemeanor.
