Heckler & Koch MP7 Personal Duty Knife

Heckler & Koch MP7 Personal Duty Knife.

The HK MP7 Personal Duty Knife (PDK for short) is uncompromisingly designed for versatility for all tactical and practical tasks of the army and authorities. It meets all the requirements of a tactical knife as well as a modern outdoor, bushcraft and hunting knife. As it is a soldier's personal piece of equipment, it was named the MP7 Personal Duty Knife (PDK) in reference to the HK MP7 submachine gun, which follows the Personal Defense Weapon (PDW) concept. It adopts strong functional characteristics of the eponymous firearm such as ergonomics and grip texture, handling, high-quality workmanship and reliability.

Swedish 14C28N steel was chosen for the centerpiece, the universal black-coated Spearpoint blade. The addition of manganese and nitrogen (manganese increases the solubility of nitrogen in the matrix) gives this steel high hardness, edge retention and corrosion resistance with a fine microstructure. This increases shock and fracture elasticity as well as resharpenability. The tang passes completely through the handle, as can be seen in the lanyard hole. However, it is not exposed at the end so that pressure or a light blow with the heel of the hand can be applied to this area. The one-piece molded handle is made of indestructible fiberglass-reinforced nylon (FRN).

A modular carrying system based on a Kydex sheath was developed for the HK MP7 PDK to meet all application situations. The knife sits deep and securely in the precisely shaped sheath, so that an additional buckle was not required. Either a sturdy nylon belt loop or a Molle-compatible steel clip can be attached.
