    The Tactical Eight Kydex® sheath, with a material thickness of 2.5 mm, provides a solid foundation for a durable and well-engineered carry system, fully meeting the demanding requirements of a tactical knife.

    The Quebec series by Pohl Force is an iconic mission knife that remained at the top of the wish list of founder and designer Dietmar Pohl for several decades. In 2014, Pohl Force received exclusive permission from the original manufacturer to reinterpret the base design.

    Originally developed as a Ground Forces Combat & General Purpose Weapon, this multi-purpose knife was designed for the United States Marine Corps in the early 1950s. Although never officially adopted, it clearly proved its capabilities during the Vietnam War, especially in the hands of U.S. special forces. Nearly 70 years after its first design, the modern Pohl Force Quebec Two perfectly combines classic old-school styling with high-tech modern manufacturing.

    Designer Dietmar Pohl further revised the original concept, expanding the knife’s functional range. The blade of the Quebec Two is made from D2 tool steel instead of Sleipner, offering higher carbon and chromium content, significantly improving cutting performance and corrosion resistance. The blade has also been optimized with a cutting edge extended by 10 mm and an added false edge on the spine.

    The Pohl Force Prepper System is integrated into the handle, allowing survival items to be securely stored inside. A tool for opening the handle screws is included. The advanced Pohl Force sheath system significantly enhances usability. The highly sophisticated sheath, made from 2.5 mm thick Kydex with belt adapter and leg strap, ensures excellent carrying comfort and versatility.

    Overall length: 315 mm
    Blade length: 190 mm
    Blade thickness: 6 mm
    Weight: 382 g (558 g including sheath)
    Blade material: D2 steel
    Blade finish: Titanium nitride coating
    Handle material: G-10
    Handle thickness: 24 mm
    Sheath: 2.5 mm Kydex with removable Cordura belt attachments
    Included accessories: —

    Notes: Each knife is individually numbered and personally signed by Dietmar Pohl on the Kydex sheath.
