Product Description

The APOC® Survival Wakizashi (SKU: DRK35650 / UPC: 615642033448), designed by legendary custom swordmaker Angus Trim, delivers uncompromising close-quarters lethality and survival utility engineered for modern contingency operations. Built on a classic Japanese short-sword chassis modernized for extreme tactical durability, this Wakizashi provides the rapid indexing, defensive maneuverability, and structural resilience required when primary weapon systems fail or ammunition supplies are exhausted. Whether staged on a tactical chest rig, battle belt, or operational field pack, it bridges the gap between full-size combat blades and heavy-duty utility machetes.

Forged from monotempered 9260 high-silicon spring steel and hardened to 56 HRC, the blade combines incredible lateral flexural toughness with outstanding edge retention. High-silicon alloying allows the blade to withstand severe angular deflection without taking a permanent set or chipping under dynamic impacts. The blade profile features a robust 6.0mm spine at the guard that tapers distally to 4.0mm at the tip, delivering authoritative cutting mass balanced by rapid tip speed. The entire carbon steel chassis is treated in a non-reflective matte black oxide conversion coating to eliminate visual glare and inhibit oxidation under adverse weather conditions.

Ergonomics and retention are anchored by a continuous full-tang construction flanked by smooth, triple-riveted black G10 scales that remain impervious to moisture, chemical solvents, and extreme ambient temperatures. The handle profile incorporates an integral lower finger hook that acts as a positive forward guard, preventing the shooter's hand from riding up onto the cutting edge during hard thrusts. Each Wakizashi ships complete with a custom-molded black fiberglass scabbard featuring dual multi-position carry slots, enabling immediate integration onto duty belts, packs, or MOLLE load-bearing equipment.

*Armorer Bench Notes & Real-World Staging Guidance:*

Fitment Matrix: Universal standalone tactical blade. Integrates directly with standard 1.50" to 2.25" duty/gun belts, tactical pack lashings, and PALS/MOLLE web fields using heavy-duty straps or malice clips. CRITICAL: 9260 high-carbon spring steel requires baseline preventative maintenance; clean and lubricate with synthetic gun oil or CLP after exposure to moisture or heavy cutting chores. Do NOT mount inverted (tip-up) on plate carriers or packs without attaching an auxiliary paracord or shock-cord retention leash, as active physical maneuvers can overcome the scabbard's passive friction retention.

Clear the armorer bench, remove the Wakizashi from protective distributor wrapping, and thoroughly wipe away factory packing oil using a clean lint-free cloth and mild degreaser.

Visually inspect the full-tang spine, ground edge bevel, and kissaki tip for uniform geometry and zero packaging burrs.

Seat and draw the blade from the molded fiberglass scabbard multiple times to confirm clean track alignment and positive internal friction hold.

Thread duty belt straps, utility cordage, or tactical MALICE clips through the slotted perimeter lash points of the fiberglass scabbard to establish your preferred vertical, canted, or scout-carry configuration.

Apply a continuous micro-barrier of CLP, Sentry Solutions TUF-CLOTH, or mineral oil across the black oxide blade surface, verify handle rivet tightness, and stage for operational readiness.
