Hello,
The Combat Elite line is built by Ryan Wilson and myself.
Ryan grew up building custom .45 autos, m16's, and shotguns in his fathers Wilson Combat gun factory. Ryan and I wanted to build knives that were worth the dollar. We build for police and military. We do most of the work on the knives including machining, fit and finish and assembly.
The Combat Elite knives are designed to hold up and use the best materials for the job. We stripped the HYPE, flash and buzz to keep the price in line.
We do not over charge for the knives so that the good people who protect and serve can afford to buy them and use them. We try to blend all of the highest and latest technical enhancements that we can with each new generation of the knife.
We are on the G2 series of RRF folders now. This means the second generation. The Tactical Elite is on the G2 also with new blade styles that will be out within the next 60 days. We have a tanto and new utility blade with a hole for the opener in s30v blade steel that will really add excellence to that knife overall! We added my tanto grind that is sweeping the industry to the tactical elite.
This is a grind that is high on both sides of the blade and straight out the front.
Then the tip is edged leaving it thick so that the blade tip will have ultimate strength. This also allow the edge to cut. The first knife like this was my custom AXD tanto.
We also have a new auto with safety coming out in the fall. It will be based on the RRF. We will have a tanto blade for it also.
Thanks for the good words!
