Smith & Wesson HRT Fixed Blade Boot Knife 5 1/2" Blade Black

The Smith & Wesson HRT Fixed Blade Boot Knife features a 5.5-inch blade designed for tactical carry and backup deployment. Built by Battenfeld Knives under the S&W brand designation, this fixed blade knife delivers the reliability required for law enforcement, military personnel, and security professionals who need a dependable secondary cutting tool. The fixed blade construction eliminates the mechanical complexity of folders, ensuring the blade remains locked in position under stress and in adverse conditions.

The 5.5-inch blade provides sufficient cutting length for utility tasks, emergency egress, and tactical applications while maintaining a profile suited for boot carry or ankle sheath deployment. Black finish on both blade and handle minimizes reflectivity and corrosion risk in field environments. The compact overall length of approximately 10.5 inches—when factored with the fixed-mount sheath—makes this design compatible with inside-waistband, ankle, and boot-carry configurations. At 0.53 pounds, the knife remains lightweight enough for all-day carry without fatigue while maintaining the mass necessary for effective cutting performance.

This knife serves backup and secondary-carry roles across tactical, law enforcement, and outdoor applications. Professionals in security detail, emergency response, and field operations rely on fixed-blade backups when primary tools are unavailable or compromised. The boot knife designation reflects its ergonomic suitability for ankle or lower-leg carry positions, ensuring accessibility without compromising primary firearm or duty gear. Outdoor professionals, hunters, and tactical enthusiasts value fixed-blade designs for their durability in brush, water, and demanding terrain where folder reliability cannot be guaranteed.
