Tactical Knives

Here is the original Millennium Fighter, which won awards at its first two shows. It is shown here with it’s original tanto-shaped blade. Unlike tanto’s however, the chisel-point is replaced with a continuous hollow grind all the way to the Millennium’s lethal point.  To keep the point from being fragile, I level the hollow-grind just as it approaches the point so the edge there is thicker, for strength. The sharply angled edge at the front achieves much the same effect as a giant serration.

A Millennium Stiletto: Handled in the now extinct Rag Micarta, with a 6” double-edged 154CM blade and the available shoulder rig, this is an ideal concealed carry weapon. It is light, fast and useful in all grip positions. The etched blade finish here is my Yuppie Camo, which serves no purpose other than an instant of distraction for those who first see it.   Price for this knife and sheath alone is $450 in CPM-3V or S30V, $400 in 154CM. With a complete rig it is $50 more.

Tactical knives have become my principle business, today accounting for over 60% of the knives I make. While the demand for tactical knives is higher than ever before, the reason mine have attracted a modest following is due to how I make my knives. Being largely self-taught, I learned to grind knife blades entirely the wrong way. Whereas most knifemakers do all their grinding with the knife edge up, I do most of mine with the edge down. What this has resulted in was my having to remove more steel from the blade to get the edge shaped properly. There are hazards to grinding the way I do, and it’s easy to screw up a lot of steel making knives this way, but the benefits are significant, especially in a fighting knife where speed is life.

Without the angled point or the serration’s the Millennium Fighter is offered in a wide range of sizes, all of which are lighter, faster and stronger than most fighting knives available today. Here’s another at just 8” and 8 oz. that in the hands of a competent martial artist completely severed a leg of lamb, edge to edge and through over an inch of bone. This knife in CPM-3V or S30V steel is $400, or $350 in 154CM.

I’ve added real serration’s as an option, and while these aren’t much good for slicing tomatoes, they can saw through rope, wood or soft metal, and are moderately effective as a blade catcher.

Perhaps the fastest large fighting knife of its kind, with a 12-14” blade and 20” OAL, yet weighing just 16 oz., the Millennium Bowie startles most who first handle it. “What is it made of”, is a question asked by many, since the combination of balance and light weight make the Bowie fly in the hand. Price of this amazing knife is $500 in 154CM or $650 in CPM-3V or S30V, including sheath. Sheath tooling is extra.
