Flavio Ikoma has proven there’s strength in simplicity.

Take it at face value and it’s a shockingly simple disengagement mechanism—the prominent button is so obvious, when it’s in your hand, your thumb naturally gravitates in its direction. Under extreme stress is where it shines. Steel pegs interlock with the blade when it’s deployed to yield strength that won’t so much as flinch under supreme weight.

Designer Joe Caswell is pulling the folder into the future whether it’s ready or not.

At first glance it might look like a tool relegated to the professionals. But thread your index finger through the ring, firmly grasp the handle, and your thumb intuitively rests on the deployment curve. Light pressure is all it takes for the blade to lunge to life. Disengagement is just as simple, shift the discrete lever at the base of the finger loop and pull the blade back into its retreated position.

The award-winning, breakthrough, “Field Strip” innovation, comes from the shop of legendary knife craftsman Ken Onion.

This no-tool take-apart technology allows for practical and efficient tool cleaning & maintenance in the field.

To disassemble: start with the knife in the closed position, push the front release lever up away from the blade, then spin the release wheel on the rear of the handle away from the pivot shaft—once you feel the handle release, pull it up and away from the blade. The knife comes apart in three sections.

Reassembly is as easy as reversing the procedure.

Designer Flavio Ikoma and Rick Lala invented this system that sets lubed ball bearings into the folding knife pivot. The result is rapid blade deployment that is smooth and fast. Go ahead, set a flipping land speed record.

The innovative cam locking system features a blade that can pivot 180°. To open, simply press the front cam lever mechanism down with your thumb and rotate the blade outward until it fully extends and securely clicks into place. To close the knife, press down on the cam lever to disengage then swing the blade back into the closed position. Once the blade is in the closed position, no part of the edge is exposed and the knife is secure to carry.

Designer Glenn Klecker seamlessly integrated this lock directly into the handle. Goodbye traditional locking mechanisms. Hello new and exciting knife designs.

An innovative lobed and knurled cam successfully locks the rope into place, eliminating the need for a difficult and often inconvenient tie off. With professional hunting guide Russ Kommer’s innovation, hoisting your game is now as easy as cleaning it with one of his blades.

Some hone edges. Others, like “Edgeologist” Tom Veff, reinvent them, with his Veff Serrations ™ that offer superior cutting of cordage, rope, and fibrous materials—none are safe.

Tom Veff knows a thing or two about edges. As the world’s finest and only “Edgeologist” he specializes in serrations that improve cutting efficiency. So you can go through fibrous materials like a torched straight edge does through cold butter.

Dirt, fuzz, muck, sand, and dust, all easily dispatched from your blade’s comfort zone. Slide this Easy Clean sheath apart and wipe away the grime. After you’ve cleaned your blades’ bedroom, click the two-piece sheath back together and create a dirt free zone for your blade to securely reside. It’s so easy.

Outside, it’s a braided paracord bracelet. Inside, it’s a stainless steel tungsten carbide coated wire saw. You’ll only need to recognize the Ken Onion designed Para-Saw™ for what it really is: a way to save your bacon in emergency survival calamities.

When situations are coming on fast, you don’t have time to search for everything you need. Thankfully, the M16® Law Enforcement knives’ on-duty features include the Carson Flipper, seat belt strap cutter, and tungsten carbide window breaker, all built right in. Protect and serve.

You don’t see the clip, do you? That’s just the point with the Ken Onion designed pocket clip on the side of the knife. Spring tensioned, it provides an improved hold on your pocket...and looks classy when it catches your eye.

It’s a seat belt cutter that clips to your belt. It’s a window breaker and LED flashlight. If someone’s trapped in a vehicle, Russ Kommer’s tool can be the difference between life and death. Save lives.
