Why It’s Perfect for Your EDC
The Explorer is the definition of a great EDC knife: compact, capable, and discreet. With an overall length of just six inches, it fits comfortably in your pocket, on your belt, or in a small bag without getting in the way. Its small size doesn't mean it compromises on strength. The Explorer is a workhorse ready to handle everything from slicing an apple on your lunch break to breaking down cardboard boxes with ease.
The blade is crafted from AEB-L stainless steel, a material known for its impressive edge retention and resistance to corrosion. Hardened to 62 HRC, this knife stays sharp through countless tasks. You won't need to constantly worry about sharpening it. The handle, available in durable Micarta or G10, features our signature textured grip. This ensures a secure hold for precise cuts, even when you're working quickly.
Paired with its slim, molded Kydex sheath, the Explorer is easy and safe to carry. If you need a dependable, low-profile knife that’s always ready for action, the Explorer is the ideal addition to your daily setup.

Why It’s Perfect for Your EDC:
Don’t let the name fool you; the Hunter V2 is an incredibly versatile tool that excels far beyond the wilderness. For the EDC user who wants a bit more blade to work with, this knife is a perfect fit. Its 3-inch cutting edge provides ample length for more demanding daily jobs, like cutting thick rope or preparing food for a picnic, while the 7-inch overall length remains manageable for convenient carry.
The AEB-L stainless steel blade, hardened to 62 HRC, delivers the same exceptional performance and durability found across our lineup. It holds an edge reliably, so you can count on it to be sharp when you need it most. The ergonomic handle, available in Micarta or G10, offers a full, comfortable grip that gives you confidence and control in every cut. This makes it a great choice for projects around the house or in the garage.
The Hunter V2 proves that a slightly larger knife can still be a practical choice for everyday carry. It strikes an excellent balance between capability and convenience, making it the go-to tool for users who need one knife to do it all.
The Lightweight V2: The Minimalist’s Choice
Specifications
-
Blade Thickness: .112”
-
Material: AEB-L stainless steel, hardened to 62 HRC
-
Overall Length: 7”
-
Cutting Edge Length: 3”
-
Handle Options: Choose between wrapping the ergonomic handle with paracord or leaving it bare for ultra-lightweight use.
Why It’s Perfect for Your EDC
For the EDC enthusiast who believes less is more, the Lightweight V2 is the ultimate tool. This knife offers the same cutting power as the Hunter V2 but in a streamlined, minimalist package. It’s designed for those who prioritize reducing weight and bulk in their pockets without sacrificing performance. The bare handle option makes it incredibly light, so you'll barely notice it's there until you need it.
The genius of the Lightweight V2 lies in its customizability. You can leave the handle bare for the lightest possible configuration or wrap it with paracord. A paracord wrap not only adds grip but also provides you with a handy length of cord for emergencies or odd jobs. This dual functionality is a huge plus for any practical EDC kit.
Like its siblings, the Lightweight V2 features a tough AEB-L stainless steel blade hardened to 62 HRC, so you get reliable cutting performance every time. It’s perfect for active individuals, from runners who want a tool without the weight to office workers who need a discreet blade for simple tasks.
