Particle. Separation. Device. Break it down to brass tacks: the P.S.D.™ is made to slice. This everyday carry folding knife’s blade is designed with a full recurve and a highly efficient double grind. And, with Assisted Opening, it shows up to work in the blink of an eye.

The M16® series comes from a long line of military grade tools. Now you can conquer civilian tasks with this proven knife design platform made simple, tough, and affordable.

A classic is reborn. How do you take an already widely-celebrated knife and make it thrice as good? By taking the legendary M16® design imagined by one of the most notable knifemakers in history, then adding three groundbreaking innovations: Deadbolt®, Assisted Opening, and IKBS™ ball bearing pivot system. Returning with a compact tanto blade, the M16®-02DB doesn’t just come locked and loaded, its deployment is now faster than ever. Years ago, knife designer Kit Carson gave us a timeless classic. Now, it’s back with a whole new legacy to fulfill.

More Than a Knife, It’s a Threat Extinguisher. A large folding tactical knife with our manual safety innovation, it’s specifically designed for one reason: to say sayonara to any evil that comes your way in close quarter battle environments. The Otanashi noh Ken™ is designed by the venerable James Williams of Encinitas, CA. A veteran and martial arts practitioner/instructor, he knows cutlery—especially the tactical variety. In fact, his knife designs have quickly become mainstays within the military Special Forces and tactical Law Enforcement communities across the globe. So when SOCOM needed a larger, thinner, folding combat knife that was easy to carry and conceal, Williams answered the call.

Pry. Crack. Crank. Scrape. Wrench. Jesper Voxnaes knows that a smart daily carry doesn’t just include a knife. So he designed the Pryma™. This over-engineered multi-tool hangs inconspicuously on your keyring and comes up in a pinch with a range of tools. From bottle opener to glass breaker, it’ll pick up exactly where your pocket knife leaves off.

Designer Ray Kirk has put his spin on the concept of an emergency strap cutter with his new K.E.R.T.™ (Keyring Emergency Rescue Tool).

Work In the Front. All Comfort in the Back. The M21™ G10 series offers up unsurpassed cutting power featuring deep-bellied spear point blades in the front, and lightweight, insulating, tough G10 handles in the back. In the middle is you, happy, and ready to take on tasks. Legendary custom knifemaker Kit Carson designed the M21™ series. His knives have been a long-time staple of military forces worldwide and Kit wanted to create a premium knife that was everything you could ask for in a high quality work blade, but at a great price. He succeeded with a heavy-duty knife series that's tough enough for whatever life throws your way.

Looks can be deceiving. A situation that calls for self defense is, by nature, unexpected. The smartest are those who think ahead. That’s where the James Williams Defense Pen II comes into play. Disguised as a sophisticated writing instrument, its defense end carries a powerful punch. This is subtlety at its finest.
