What Knife Do Delta Force Use? 3 Blades They Actually Carry

What knife do Delta Force operators actually use? I broke down the 3 blades carried by the 1st Special Forces Operational Detachment-Delta — from the $80 kay-bar to the $800 Strider SMF they buy with their own money. Delta Force is the most secretive Tier 1 unit in the United States military. Most people think they carry classified high-tech blades. The truth is the opposite — they carry knives you can buy right now, but they pick very specific models, modify them for combat, and one blade they pay for out of their own pocket because the military won't issue it. In this video I break down all three, what they cost, why Delta operators chose them, and the verdict on what that tells you about how Tier 1 units actually think. 📌 THE 3 DELTA FORCE KNIVES (timestamps below) 0:00 — Cold open: the truth about Delta Force blades 0:15 — #1 The kay-bar USMC Fighting Knife ($80) 0:35 — #2 The Strider SMF — the blade they buy themselves ($400–800) 0:55 — #3 The Chris Reeve Green Beret Knife ($475) 1:15 — The verdict: why Delta Force carries boring knives 2:30 — The philosophy of operator gear selection 4:00 — The standard that actually matters 5:30 — Which of these three would you carry? 🔔 SUBSCRIBE for weekly tactical knife content 🎬 Next video: What Marine Raiders Carry vs Delta Force — coming soon 💬 Drop a comment: which of these 3 knives would you choose? --- ⭐ ABOUT THIS CHANNEL I break down real military gear — what special operators actually use, what they modify, and what they leave behind.
