The Night Edge Serrated Edge
The Night Edge Serrated Edge is an Allen Elishewitz design fixed-blade knife that features a serrate spine or back edge. The additional serration makes it ideal for performing major cutting, in addition to raising its offensive potential with regards to back cutting as well as draw cuts. Regardless of the additional machining, the core power of the blade is preserved. The tip is bolstered for additional strength and penetration.
The Tatang
The Tatang was made by edged weapons specialist Michael Janich. It was meant as a variation on the Philipino Barong. The barong is a leaf-shaped bolo knife with the ability to be utilized as a chopping tool in addition to a weapon. Michael's design not simply adapts the barong to the modern practitioner, but also adjusts the grip to further improve both its practical application and maneuverability as a weapon.
Making optimum use of the forward grip provides it with more significant balance for highly improved controlled cutting, trapping and back cutting. Sliding the hand fully rearward to the pistol grip handle brings forth a forward bias that not only expands its reach, but also contributes extra chopping power.
The United Kingdom Special Forces blade photographs bigger than it actually appears to be in real life. If it seems to have the look of a sword from the era of King Arthur, we're confident the British special operatives appreciate it even more! All round length is in fact less than 11 inches, and there is a mighty cross guard separating the 6.2-inch blade from the handle. The cross guard is important in keeping it in its injection-molded nylon sheath by snapping into position below an integral catch, which is deactivated simply by pressing inward against the body of the sheath.

H2 The Crucible knives
Kelly McCann's Crucible knives genuinely reflect his interpretation of what is necessary for modern in-fighting. The recipe is straightforward: The Crucible carries a moderate length blade with sharp central point for stability and maximum power upon thrust, plus a grip that grants a secure hold and radial leverage. To these final two characteristics the grip is flat. On top of that, the handle offers finger grooves together with a handguard-esque drop both fore and aft. This safeguards the hand both on thrust as well as draw (retraction).

Get rid of the thumb studs and the folder could at initial glance, be wrongly identified as the entire tang fixed-blade knife. The fixed-blade Crucible FX2 offers an injection molded sheath that can be transported as a neck knife or linked to MOLLE gear.
