Thermic Tactical knives are the value line from Poikilo Blade, the same folders that first shipped under the Thermal Tactical name. Every Thermic Tactical model is designed by custom maker TASKnives and runs Bohler M390 at 60 to 62 HRC in G-10 handled folding knives built for daily carry.
Thermic Tactical knives are made in China by Poikilo Blade, the shop known for titanium midtechs in M398 and M390. Thermic Tactical keeps the TASKnives design partnership and trades titanium for G-10. Are Thermic Tactical and Thermal Tactical knives the same? Yes. The brand was renamed, and early production carried Thermal Tactical on the clip and packaging, so either name points to the same models.
Three families cover eleven models. The SubZero runs from the clip point SubZero 2026C and sheepsfoot 2026A down to the SubZero 2026B, a 3.4 inch drop point at 3.77 ounces. The Plasma is the big frame at roughly nine inches open, with the spear point Plasma 2026A, a 2026B built for buyers who want a tanto blade, and a drop point 2026C. The Ambient is the widest family, from the four inch Ambient 2026B to the Ambient 2026D, a 1.9 inch modified wharncliffe that weighs 2.29 ounces.
The TASK Lock is the proprietary lock TASKnives runs on custom work and on Poikilo collaborations like the Cyberkuza. In this lineup it secures the SubZero 2026A and 2026C and the Plasma 2026A and 2026B. The SubZero 2026B and Ambient 2026C use a button lock, and both are manual knives rather than automatics. The rest of the Ambient family and the Plasma 2026C lock up on a liner lock. Every model carries tip up with a clip that mounts for right or left hand.
Every Thermic Tactical blade is M390 with a flat grind in a stonewash or dark stonewash finish. Our comparison of every major knife steel shows where M390 sits on edge retention and corrosion resistance. Handles are G-10 in colors from Arctic Grey to Neon Green, with carbon fiber over G-10 on select models, Micarta on the Plasma 2026A and 2026B, and Ultem on the Ambient 2026D. Our guide to knife handle materials covers how each one wears.
