Crafted to endure, wherever you roam. Designed in collaboration with custom knifemaker and survivalist Kaila Cumings, the Burrower fixed blade is built to perform in the most demanding environments. Every detail is dialed for utility and control, from the confidence of its full-tang construction to the grip security of its dual finger choils. The Burrower’s D2 steel blade delivers the edge retention and toughness needed for demanding outdoor use, while the stonewashed clip point profile provides a versatile balance of slicing power and piercing strength. Burlap micarta scales give the handle a natural texture and solid grip, even in wet or muddy conditions. And when it’s time to pack up, the Burrower is held securely in a thermoplastic sheath with an adjustable belt clip for carry versatility.

The perfect blend of form and function. The Razel™ Compact takes designer Jon Graham’s fixed-blade knife and adds versatility while reducing size. Brutalist and elegant at the same time, the D2 steel blade in an oxide finish balances Veff Flat Top Serrations®, a front chisel, and a gently curved leading edge, all coming together in a pocket fixed blade that can be used for cutting rope, scraping, and slicing. The G10 handle in high-viz orange gives it a pop of color, while the fob provides extra purchase for a secure grip. A durable thermoplastic pocket sheath comes standard for convenient and comfortable carry all day long.

Fixed Blade EDC Knife

Big blade power from Liong Mah. Built for survival, camp work, and the kind of heavy-duty tasks that chew up lesser blades, the Mah-chete™ is a hard-use powerhouse designed by custom knifemaker Liong Mah. Its name is a playful nod to Mah’s last name, but everything else about it is all business. The 12" blade is forged from tough 1075 carbon steel and built with a convex grind for the kind of edge durability and cutting efficiency heavy work demands. Clear brush, split kindling, process small log firewood, and tackle demanding outdoor jobs with confidence. With an overall length of 17” and a blade thickness of .18”, the Mah-chete™ delivers serious reach, balance, and chopping power when it matters most. A hammered finish along the spine gives the blade a distinctive custom-inspired look, while the satin finish on the blade keeps it clean and classic. In hand, the ergonomic walnut handle offers a secure, comfortable grip for extended use, with a lanyard hole ready for a retention cord when conditions get slick or fast-paced. When the work is done, the Mah-chete™ rides securely in a woven nylon sheath with snap-button retention and an adjustable belt loop attachment point for versatile carry. Designed by Liong Mah to be used hard, the Mah-chete™ brings custom character and maximum cutting power to a machete built for the backcountry.

The blade is made of D2 steel in oxide finish for excellent edge retention, ensuring the Razel™ will hold up to wear and tear over the long haul. A durable thermoplastic pocket sheath comes standard for convenient and comfortable carry all day long.

Cuts through the worst case scenario. Designed by knifemaker Russ Kommer, the Catchall™ gets its name from it’s ability to perform in a range of situations. A fixed blade design with sheepsfoot blade shape, this multifunctional tool isn’t just a handy camp kitchen knife, it’s a versatile outdoor must-have.

Catchall™ Fixed

A good knife doesn’t need to be complicated. The S.P.I.T.™ (Small. Pocket. Inverted. Tanto.) is a variation of the beloved S.P.E.W.™ (Small. Pocket. Everyday. Wharncliffe.), designed by Alan Folts of Melbourne, Florida. With a shorter fixed blade than its cousin, the S.P.I.T.™ features enhanced portability, but it keeps the large handle for extra leverage when cutting.
