Characteristics & Construction
Full-Tang Fixed Blade
All combat knives are full-tang fixed blades — no folding mechanisms to fail, no pivot to wear. The blade and tang are one continuous piece of forged steel.
Blade Geometry
Double-edged and clip-point profiles for optimal thrusting capability. Blade lengths from 5–8 inches for balance between utility and carry practicality.
