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 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.

Born from the high country and built for the field. *Due to the included magnesium alloy fire rod, this knife is restricted to Ground shipping only. The Altai is a fixed blade hunting knife inspired by Spartan Precision Equipment founder Rob Gearing’s hunt in Mongolia’s Altai Mountains. Designed in collaboration with the makers of the most trusted stability shooting platforms in the game, it carries Spartan influence throughout—from the carbon-fiber-inspired handle texture to the signature Spartan head on the handle pins and hits of hi-vis orange that make it easy to spot when light fades and conditions turn rough. The Altai features a blade just under 4 inches long—an ideal length for control and easy reference when field dressing an animal. The blade is crafted from 14C28N steel with a durable ceramic coating for corrosion resistance, toughness, and edge retention. A striking notch on the spine pairs with the included ferro rod to help get fire started when the day runs long, while the included ceramic rod makes backcountry touch-ups simple and fast. Jimping on the finger choil, spine, and rear handle provides added grip and tactile reference in hand. A ringed pommel delivers a swift, secure draw—even with gloves on—and a hole in the pommel is ready for a fob or additional retention setup. Everything stores securely in the included thermoplastic sheath, equipped with reflective orange paracord that’s used on the lanyard as well as the pulls for the ferro and ceramic rods, making essential tools easier to find when visibility drops. From the first cut to the last chore back at camp, the Altai is a capable hunting and survival companion shaped by real experience in nature’s most unforgiving mountains.

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.
