Clever Girl™ Fixed

As clever as it looks. During his time stationed at Fort Polk while serving in the military, knifemaker Austin McGlaun was inspired to find new ways to tackle laborious camp chores. And so the Clever Girl™ Kukri was realized. A fixed blade design that honors the iconic kukri knife, this reimagined version still brandishes a mighty swing despite being more compact than its predecessor. As a member of the CRKT® Forged by War® program, the Kukri is tough enough to stand the test of the battlefield—and whatever else Mother Nature might throw your way.

Clever Girl™ Kukri

Move with the instincts of a velociraptor. 
The tactical, fixed-blade Clever Girl™ can help you claw your way out of hairy situations with its powerful, upswept blade. This version adds additional utility in the form of Veff Serrations™ to easily saw through things like rope, and a marbled G10 handle for added flair and all-weather grip functionality.

Williams Defense Pen

Adorned in details yet powerfully simple, the Xolotl™ /show-low-tl/ is an everyday carry folding knife with a tactical spirit. It hardly occupies more space than a fountain pen but comes out swinging with a fast flipper opening and a sleek, spear-point blade. From the 14th century battlefield to the modern pocket, the Xolotl™ is the knife to have on hand.Michael Rodriguez's charity of choice for this knife is the <a href="https://www.gwotmemorialfoundation.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Global War on Terrorism Memorial Foundation</a>.

Xolotl™ Liner Lock

Razel

Born of flames. Seriously. The Septimo™ tactical folder was designed by a seasoned Green Beret to be more than a knife—he forged it of experience and created it to serve as a lifeline. One unique Veff Serration™ pairs with a powerful design to act as a strap cutter, utility knife, and personal defense tool. Serving 14 years as an American hero culminated in this deployment-prepared powerhouse.

Septimo™ Liner Lock

Engineered for rapid response time. Jim Hammond’s A.B.C. (All. Bases. Covered.) makes its return in an even more versatile form. Now a folder, it brings the varied capabilities of the original fixed blade to a more convenient and compact design. And thanks to Assisted Opening and IKBS™ bearings, it’s still ready to spring to action at a moment’s notice, while the G10 handle provides a strong grip even in adverse weather.

A.B.C. (All. Bases. Covered.)

Purpose-built for bold ideas. Just a pen? Hardly. The Collet Pen is part writing instrument, part precision scribe multitool. Hidden beneath the back cap is a tungsten carbide tip scribe strong enough to mark most hard materials. It’s held in place by a collet chuck that can accept any manner of optional scribe implements.

Built on an American hero’s legacy. It wasn’t until half a century after he served, that Forged by War® designer Austin McGlaun discovered his late uncle won the Silver Star at Point Du Hoc. To honor his service, he designed this colossal karambit fixed blade knife. With the help of Ryan Johnson of RMJ Tactical, it’s been perfected as a mission-inspired eye catcher from the tip of the recurved blade to the thumb ring at the end of the handle.Austin McGlaun's charity of choice for this knife is the <a href=" https://purplehearthomesusa.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Purple Heart Homes</a>.

Du Hoc™ Fixed

You won’t know where the blade ends and your hand begins. This tactically-inspired everyday carry urban tactical knife proves that form follows function with swept finger grooves, a formidable blade, and the Assisted Opening innovation. Whatever the need, you’re good to go through anything with this bad boy of a blade.

Foresight™ Assisted

James Williams, the designer of the Hissatsu™, is a former Army officer and martial arts practitioner/instructor with over 45 years of experience. His system of defensive tactics, known as The System of Tactical Strategy, has its origins in the ancient Samurai military systems as well as the Russian military art of Systema.

Hissatsu™ Fixed

Made for the modern warrior. Paying tribute to the hira-zukuri—a classical Japanese straight sword—knifemaker James Williams brings us the HZ6. Hailing from the 8th century, the original hira-zukuri style blade was first popularized in daggers and utilized as a powerful “short” sword for survival and everyday use. And just like its origin, the HZ6 is purpose-built for real life warriors, only now designed to meet the demands of the modern world.
