Gerber Propel

Durable, fast to deploy, and rugged. This knife is a one-hand opening workhorse with a S30v tanto blade that can cut through anything; the black oxide coating and G-10 handle minimize slip to keep you safe in critical conditions.

Heretic Manticore-S

With the same features as the Manticore X this knife is sure to be something inwhich you can trust as a backup to your EDC knife. With it's compact size of only 6.5" overall and weighing 1.7oz makes this easily carried by all.
