The Occulto XL is a larger version of the Occulto Dagger. Still only an inch wide, this knife is fast and light in the hand, while still being concealable. |
A variation on the Xerxes design, this particular one is at the time of writing in Afghanistan. |
Same knife as previous in the sheath. |
A version of the Maleficus, this particular one was a customer request. The color balance is off in this picture, that is actually a so-called Toxic Green. |
Another Xerxes, this time in all-carbon fiber. Laminate and handles. |
The TAD Gear Edition Xerxes; single-edged, crowned and polished spines with OD green G10 handle scales. |
The Maleficus is designed to fit into the Shivworks Clinch Pick envelope and to some extent improve upon the niche.Slightly longer blade, but same overall length. On top of that, the handle provides an impressive amount of grip security despite being very short. |
The Occulto is a compact, three-finger dagger that still provides a lot of grip security. As much blade as handle, it provides a lot of cutting power in a very small package. |
The Brutus and trainer here, uses my SCS sheath system. |
Maleficus live blade and trainer set. Trainers are made from .250 red G10 with all the edges rounded. These are significantly more friendly than the typical thinner aluminum trainers. |
The Infernus Somnifer, a sleeker variation on the Brutus design, made to order for a certain well-known trainer. |
The Rex Talionis. This was requested by the customer with pretty particular specifications. The grey/black G10 was initially a bit of a surprise, but luckily, the customer was OK with the look. |
Another Rex Talionis, this time around with some of my own preferred design touches, such as a sharpening choil. |
The latest version of the Xerxes, this particular variation was made for Triple Aught Design and was specifically requested to be single-edged. |
Sheathing for the TAD Xerxes was setup to be used with the SCS attachment or a static cord. It conceals easily with either type of carry. |
The Xerxes dagger: This is one of several variations that I've made based on the theme of a Persian-inspired dagger. |
The Xerxes in the sheath. This one is set up for carry IWB with a static cord attachment. |
The Sliver: A small hideout piece that provides a lot of cutting power in a small package. This is one of the only chisel ground designs that I make. |
The sheath for this one was a special request item. Customer needed to be able to wear this without a belt, in scrubs. |
The solution was to make a custom Titanium clip. The back of the sheath is also covered in a foamed rubber material that helps it stay in place. |
The ZipperTi: My rendition of the Zipper design as originally designed in collaboration with Morgan Atwood of BFE Labs. |
The sheath is meant primarily for neck wear, but is adaptable for other modes of carry. |
A small G10 thumbdagger. Unnamed as of yet, this was more an experiment than anything else. I think I still have it floating around somewhere. |
Carbon fiber Siphon: An experiment in viciousness, the Siphon is meant as a last ditch self-defense item that can readily masquerade as a pen, with only the addition of a cap. |
Here you can see the wrap-around texturing that I use. This is, of course, all done by hand and as such, every knife is unique. |
Again, the Zipper-G uses my shock cord attachment system for the sheath. This is an extremely lightweight and compact package. |
Hobbes Variant 1 and trainer: A customer requested a longer handle with a skull-crusher and a trainer . This is the end result. |
No-brass knuckles: A non-metallic version of a classic. 3/8ths inch thick canvas micarta. |
The Novitiate: A customer requested something similar in overall size as the ShivWorks Disciple. I managed to squeeze in a little bit more blade. This knife is amazingly fast! |
Closeup of the dimpling texture that I use on most of my knives. Secure, comfortable and skin-friendly, it will not hang up on clothing or gear. |
Another Xerxes. As you can see, significantly different than the previous one listed. Shorter, different grip angles. This one in reverse grip makes it feel like you just grew a large claw! |
Most of my knives will balance right at the choil. |
The sheath is of course also non-metallic, in this case, using a cyanoacrylate -coated kevlar cord to hold it together. |
The Aggressor Push Knife: An asymmetrical recurve dagger blade, this is an outstanding carry package. Can be carried horizontally OWB or vertically with equal ease. |
One of these days I should name this. Variation on the Sliver of sorts, this one is currently on my wife's keychain. |
The Zipper-M: M is for mutant. |
The Malevolentia: Well, I got nothing. This thing is just mean. |
