Tactical

A. G. Russell™ Shopmade® Chute Knife

In the late 1960s, I designed a knife for the pilots in Vietnam. By 1972, we were producing this knife in our newly aquired Morseth knife company which I purchased in 1970 from Harry Morseth's son Gordon after Harry's death. I hired a very young Bob Dozier to move the Morseth shop to Springdale, Arkansas where we made Morseth® knives until early 2000.

CRKT Ultima

From the Manufacturer:

"Today's tactical fixed blade knives still resemble the first Bronze Age daggers of 4000 years ago, especially in their handle design. Michael Martinez, inventor of the Merlin® knife deployment system, didn't start out to redesign the fixed blade, but he explains, "We tested over 400 knives with the Merlin system, and I kept noticing how many knives, even expensive ones, didn't feel right, didn't have a grip that gave both control and comfort in the four fundamental tactical grips."

Ka-Bar® has a long history with the U.S. Armed Forces. The "Ka-Bar knife" or the USMC, was the standard issue knife for our military for most of the 20th century. Through the years, it was made by other companies as well, but was still known as the "Ka-Bar".

The current owners have updated the materials used and the manufacturing facilities, but the quality and reputation of Ka-Bar has continued on.

KaBar V-E & V-J Day Commemorative
