Gauntlet Folding Knife
Built for work. Forged for control.

The Gauntlet is a folding button-lock knife designed for the kind of work that demands strength, reliability, and one-handed precision — even while wearing gloves. It’s a tool made for people who earn their living with their hands.

Built for Durability
Every detail of the Gauntlet was engineered for hard, daily use. The textured G10 handle ensures a secure grip in any condition — from wet environments to dusty job sites. The oversized pocket clip makes it easy to carry with thick work pants or gloves on. The D2 blade steel will hold up against the toughest jobs.

Designed for Control and Versatility
The handle shape allows both a classic forward grip and a secure reverse hold for tasks like stripping wire or scoring material. The button lock mechanism provides smooth one-handed deployment and solid lockup under pressure. Its balanced 4-ounce weight is perfect for one-handed operation — light enough for speed, yet substantial enough for total control even while wearing gloves.

CRAFTING MODERN TOOLS THAT EMPOWER THE MODERN WARRIOR.

Gravity knives were originally designed as a practical tool, primarily for military purposes.

Developed during World War lI by German paratroopers, the unique sliding blade mechanism allowed soldiers to operate the knife with one hand, which was crucial if they needed to cut themselves free from parachute cords or other gear while using their other hand for stability or balance.

The gravity-operated sliding mechanism also allowed the knife to be deployed quickly and efficiently.

Unlike spring-loaded switchblades, which use a mechanical spring to push the blade out, gravity knives rely on the blade's weight and gravity to slide open.

This design was both simple and reliable in harsh conditions

This minimized the need for complex parts that could jam or break in the field. Over time, gravity knives became more widely available, though they remain a specialty tool with specific use cases, especially where one-handed operation is essential.

The Legacy of WW2 Rigger Pouches

Originally crafted by paratroopers and riggers in the field, these pouches were born out of necessity. Soldiers needed lightweight, durable, and versatile solutions to carry critical gear such as ammunition, tools, and personal items during combat. Using spare canvas, riggers fashioned pouches that could be easily attached to belts or harnesses, embodying resourcefulness and practicality. The Rigger Pouch honors this history by embracing the same principles of adaptability and durability.
