This is the production version of the infamous Derespina Model 10 Karambit. The Model 10 was designed to be the tactical fixed blade that is the perfect choice for EDC. Everyone raves about the ergonomics of the Model 10 and the carry-ability of this compact karambit. The D2 tool steel blade measures 2.75 in. tip to handle and is 0.185 in. thick. The blade is double ground, just like the custom, with functional jimping on the thumb ramp and a brushed satin finish. The angle in which the blade style sits in relation to the handle creates maximum cutting and slashing power as well as penetration. Tip to tip, this knife measures 6.5 in. overall with a one-inch diameter pinky ring. This is a well-built karambit with superior ergonomics from one of the best and it comes with a friction fit Kydex sheath with adjustable belt clip attached. It is one of the premier tactical tools on the market and it makes us happy to see it in production form with the exact same materials as the custom but at an excellent price point.

KA-BAR TDI Shark Bite Ultramid Self-Defense Knife 9908
The TDI Shark Bite from KA-BAR designed by Tactical Defense Institute is constructed of 100% Ultramid, the perfect material for a deep covert backup self-defense blade. Ultramid is a lightweight, synthetic material that provides a sharp and durable edge. This high-tech, covert knife is completely non-magnetic so it won't set off those pesky metal detectors. Ultramid is super tough and virtually impervious to the elements.
The pistol grip handle is also made of textured Ultramid polymer and since the knife is constructed of a single piece of Ultramid it is very strong. The handle is comfortable and provides an awesome grip and the traction grooves on the spine further enhance control when doing fine cutting tasks. The TDI Shark Bite comes with an Ultramid sheath and 24 inches of #3 black epoxy coated steel ball chain for neck carry.
The TDI Shark Bite weighs less than an ounce so it can be worn on the neck, carried in a pocket, tied, tucked, or taped just about anywhere on one's person for the ultimate in covert carry.
The TDI Shark Bite is impervious to heat, cold, moisture and extreme weather so it can be tactically hidden virtually everywhere (indoors and outdoors). Moreover, they are so affordable that you can purchase several and keep them hidden in strategic locations and if the need arises you can ditch them.
If you are in the market for a non-expensive, totally non-detectible (non-magnetic) knife for self-defense the TDI Shark Bite is an excellent choice.

TOPS El Chete Survival Machete
How does TOPS define destruction? El Chete.
The El Chete by TOPS Knives was designed with one thought in mind... chopping. It's got a full-tang 1/4 inch thick blade that's a full foot long, and it chops very well. Even though it's so large, the knife still weighs in under 2 pounds.

El Chete is the first TOPS knife to be released with their wicked new finish called Acid Rain which varies slightly from knife to knife so each knife is unique.The sandwiched Micarta handles are thick enough to fill your hand like a hatchet or small ax handle would. The handle is well rounded for comfort and the black canvas Micarta underneath the green canvas Micarta adds even more to the aesthetics of this piece.
The sheath is an out-the-front design with all the bells and whistles. You just pull up slightly then out the front so that you don't have to strain to pull the knife all the way up through the sheath. There is a strap that when snapped into place, helps immensely with the retention of the blade. TOPS Knives also made it available with a rotating spring steel clip or a leather dangler attachment so that each user picks the right fit for him or her.
If you're in the market for a large knife, you've definitely found it. Check them out at OsoGrandeKnives.com.

NEW Cold Steel Safe Maker Push Daggers!
At the end of 2016 we were saddened that Cold Steel was discontinuing two of our favorite push daggers... the Safe Maker I and Safe Maker II. These two push daggers were some of our best push knives ever made. We were thrilled when Cold Steel announced that they were coming out with new Safe Maker models with AUS8 stainless steel blades and a durable stonewash finish. Other than these two changes the New Safe Maker's are identical to the classic models with one exception--they are priced significantly lower! Prices on the NEW Safe Maker's start at only $29.95 at OsoGrandeKnives.

Killer Knife of the Week: Ontario Blackbird SK-5 Noir Survival Knife
The winner of this weeks "Killer Knife" goes to the venerable Ontario Blackbird SK-5 Noir Survival Knife. The Blackbird Noir is a no frills fixed blade designed for outdoor uses such as bushcrafting, camping and survival. It also can be classified as an EDC fixed blade. It has a full-tang blade made of 154CM stainless so it will perform with minimal maintenance in a variety of locations. The canvas Micarta scales provide excellent grip traction. The blade is not as thick as some but it measures in at .130" and it is flat ground so it slices a variety of materials with ease. Both the knife and the sheath are made in the USA by Ontario Knife Company and Hedgehog Leather. Check it out at OsoGrandeKnives.

TOPS Knives SXB "Skullcrusher's Xtreme Blade" Warrior Survival Knife
The TOPS Knives SXB “Skullcrusher’s Xtreme Blade” warrior survival knife delivers solid performance and is a beast of a knife.
Skullcrusher’s Xtreme Blade (SXB) was designed for the Warrior Survivalist to aid in their survival not only in the wild, but on the battlefield as well. Designer, EJ Snyder is an Xtreme Survivalist and Adventurer in real life and as seen on TV. He is also a highly decorated, 25-year Army Combat Vet who served in the 1991 Gulf War and Operation Iraqi Freedom. EJ knows what it takes to survive in a multitude of extreme situations from the wilderness to combat, and he has been tested and proven every time.EJ wanted to design a modern day blade that honors the spirit of the pioneers of the past but meets the demands of an ever evolving modern world, and a tactical survival tool that is as tough, durable, and dependable as he is; one that every warrior, survivalist, and outdoorsman couldn’t live without. The SXB is the Xtreme Tool for any Xtreme Job!
EJ's quest for such a knife started on the Serengeti Plains of Tanzania, Africa while conducting a 21 day Xtreme Survival challenge on "Naked and Afraid". The knife EJ took with him, being the only piece of equipment he had, did not perform well in the field and became non-functional. It is potentially disastrous to be out there and unable to rely on your knife. Upon his return to the U.S., EJ tested many knives, sought out the advice of many top custom knife makers he personally knew, and spent countless hours researching all aspects of the art of knife making. A lot of influences, needs, and rigorous tests went into the thought process and design behind the SXB Knife . His 2 year journey culminated with the creation of his vision by TOPS Knives.

A jack of all trades is certainly a fitting slogan for this weeks Killer Knife of the Week, the versatile Cold Steel Chaos Double-Edge Dagger.

It's formidable double-edge blade comes with a high-sharpness right out of the box. It is one of our favorite survival knives for just about any use (even as an emergency window shattering device and seat belt cutter). You could spend a lot more money on a good fixed blade knife and still find that the Cold Steel Chaos Double Edge knife would be your favorite all-around, do everything, fixed blade. Check
