The TF24 earned a solid reputation as a dependable do-it-all tactical workhorse. But for big-army use, where a knife is secondary to a rifle, ammo, and a loaded-down pack, the TF24 leaned on the heavier or bulkier side.

Enter the TF26 Paracord: the same drop point blade, this time built on a skeletonized tang wrapped in paracord. At 4.81 oz and 9 ½″ overall, the TF26 rides flat against your kit.
The TF26 Paracord is built for the tasks that fill your day on base and in the field: prying open cases, breaking down pallets, cutting cordage, and whatever else the day throws at you.

CERAOKTE MAGNACUT DROP POINT BLADE

The TF26 Paracord features the same 4 ¾″ drop point blade that made the TF24 a utility workhorse.

We left the TF24’s drop point alone. We kept the 0.156″ stock, the deep sharpening choil for choking up on finer work, the steel, and the finish.

As a cryogenically heat-treated stainless steel, MagnaCut provides the perfect blend of toughness, edge retention, and corrosion resistance, and it resharpens easily, even for novice knife owners. The Cerakote finish eliminates reflections that could catch light when you draw the blade.

Learn more about MagnaCut stainless steel from its creator, Larrin Thomas.

SKELETONIZED WITHOUT SACRIFICE

The tang is skeletonized to cut weight, not strength.

We cut every part that wasn’t load-bearing, but we were conservative on purpose. Utility knives need to handle leverage tasks like prying open cases or twisting stuck parts. Hollow the tang out too aggressively and that heavy side loading can snap it.

We kept the TF26’s tang chunky where it needed to resist load and removed the rest.

A HANDLE REDESIGNED AROUND THE WRAP

This isn’t a simple rewrap of the TF24. Putting paracord on this knife meant redesigning the whole handle.

A curved handle won’t wrap cleanly without paracord bunching tightly on one side and leaving gaps on the other. So we straightened out the handle and made the slab fuller to fill your palm without scales.

Running it bare works, but it’s thin in the hand. The paracord wrap builds it back up to a full-hand feel from end to end, and it comes off as 8’ 5″ of cordage for when you need it.

A LOCKING OFFSET AND A TIGHTER-RADIUS FINGER GUARD

The TF26 handle shape keeps your grip locked in, with or without the paracord.

The offset we cut into the front of the handle locks the paracord in place and doubles as a defined step for your grip. Even with the cord stripped off, the handle isn’t a slick, featureless slab.

Without the bulk of G10, we made the finger guard narrower. And since paracord can’t wrap as far forward as G10, we moved the thumb ramp to where a saber grip already puts your hand for even more traction. Those two points lock your grip in place and hold it steady, even on a flat handle.

EXCLUSIVE MKC OPEN-CARRY SHEATH 2.0

Each TF26 Paracord comes with a custom-molded MKC UltiClip sheath.

The Kydex sheath features a built-in retention screw to adjust blade tension and allow tip-up carry. The TF26 Paracord sheath comes with the MKC UltiClip for secure, in-waistband carry or to fix to your kit

Another winner
I currently have every MKC ******** knife except the mini Wargoat so I had to have this one. I think it’s a pretty close competitor to the fixed Adamas which I also really like. Super sharp and well packaged like all MKC knives. The blade is thick enough to be very sturdy but slim enough to fit on your belt, kit, or in a bag without adding bulk.

A great all-round knife
I love the size, shape, and weight of this knife. I actually prefer the paracord grip to the *** in my hands.
I keep one of there in each of my cars and in my go-bags.
Thanks for making them!

Beautiful functional knife
The TF26 is an amazing knife, great blade geometry and very light and comfortable in the hand. The kydex sheath is also one of the best I’ve seen. In the future I would like to see slim micarta handle scales available to use instead of paracord, like after market Adamas scales but smaller and slimmer for low profile carry.
