## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does the belt clip allow the knife to sit horizontally as well as vertically? Did not understand answer of 7/4/20**
A: No.  It is impossible to move the belt clip because the backings for the screw sets are not an Alan-head.  Therefore when you turn the screw head the backing just spins and there’s no way to keep it still while turning the screw.

**Q: where is it made?**
A: I believe it’s made in Taiwan. Great edc knife and very low profile! Good retention and razor sharp out of box.  Won’t be disappointed

**Q: Can you buy just the holster?**
A: I’m assuming so if you contact Kabar CS but there are infinite custom kydex sheaths on the market for this knife.

**Q: Does this come in serrated as well?**
A: Not the investigator to my knowledge, other TDI Models though, yes.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great knife

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Muito bom.

Ótimo produto recomendo a todos.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice EDC Knife
*by E***0 on 24 April 2026*

First of all, it's around a $60.00 dollar knife not a $300.00 Benchmade, etc., so keep that in mind. But for a little 'cheap' knife it's pretty nice especially for EDC/Back-up carry which is what I got it for, not for any heavy-duty use. Nice, small, lightweight package that carries discreetly and comfortably on your belt. The plastic sheath is more than adequate to hold the knife securely and allows easy purchase on the handle for fast, easy deployment. It can be carried in various horizontal positions due to being able to relocate the (plastic) belt clip via a couple of Phillips head screws for right, or left hand access. The blade came sharp, but I hit it a few times on my Worksharp multi-diamond sharpener and really put a nice razor-sharp edge on it. Perfect little EDC knife.
