Knives Descriptions

Gerber Ghoststrike

This ultra-light self-defense knife has a customizable sheath system that offers low profile or open carry. The fine edge blade is made of durable 420HC steel, a compact skeletal frame keeps it light in hand, and a rubber overmold gives optimal grip.

Kershaw Launch 6

This slim—and ever-so-slightly wicked-looking—knife features premium CPM154 blade steel. This powdered metallurgy steel offers more uniform distribution of carbides so it takes and holds an excellent edge. The Kershaw 7800 Launch 6 automatic opening pocket knife also provides good corrosion resistance, wear resistance, and toughness. Black DLC coating adds non-reflectivity and enhances performance.
