Product Information

Okay, so the name Torch sounds a lot like an action hero from the movies. But make no mistake, this tactical powerhouse is all business, with strength and durability to burn. It''s got a heavy-duty 2.6" stainless steel blade with serrations, and a carry weight of just over 3 ounces. It can be opened in a flash using just one hand.

And who''s the mastermind behind the Torch? None other than , a man with some pretty badass knifemaking credentials. Just clip this baby into your pocket, and you''re ready for whatever shift or detail brings.

And by the way, the name Torch is inspired by those flame-textured inlays in the super-nimble grip.

Tanto
Tanto Blade: The classic Japanese tanto shape has the point exactly inline with the spine of the blade, and has a graceful belly curve. Most tantos seen on the American cutlery market are the Americanized tanto format. Like the Japanese tanto, the Americanized tanto has a high-point in-line with the spine. A flat grind is applied to the point, leaving it very thick and massively strong. The front edge meets the bottom edge at an obtuse angle, rather than curving to meet it as in the Japanese tanto. There is a separate grind applied to the bottom edge, often a hollow grind to leave this edge extremely sharp. Other tanto formats have become popular also, and modifications such as clipping the point or applying a chisel-grind are often seen.
Blade Type: Serrated
Handle Material: Stainless Steel with Softgrip inserts
