In the tradition of Chris Reeve Knives, the Inyoni bird and fish hunting knife takes its name from the Zulu word for "bird."  Light as a feather, weighing 68 grams, the latest version of the Inyoni offers all the functionality of its predecessor, without the weight.  

Its full-tang drop point blade makes it the ideal knife for processing birds and fish, while providing ample edge for many stages of processing larger game, as well as a long list of other cutting tasks outside the hunting field. The thin Kydex sheath fits perfectly over the handles of the Inyoni.

On December 9, 1942, during the Second World War, KA-BAR presented a knife to the United States Marine Corps in the hope of it becoming the standard weapon. In collaboration with the Marine Supply Department, the project was revised and the production of an improved combat and utility knife began.

During the war, USMC KA-BAR knives became so renowned for their quality and abundance that "KABAR" became the common name. It was adopted by the Marines, Army, Navy, Coast Guard, and Underwater Demolition Teams. Years later, many KA-BAR knives were reactivated in Korea, Vietnam, Desert Storm, and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

In 2019, KA-Bar joined forces with Spartan Blades to establish Pineland Cutlery. CEO John Stitt aimed to create a "KA-BAR" with enhanced strength, robustness, and corrosion resistance. During development, metallurgist Larrin Thomas identified CPM MagnaCut® steel with the desired qualities.

CPM MagnaCut® is a sintered high-carbon steel produced by Crucible Industries and specially designed for blades. Spartan Blades developed the Spartan-KA-BAR using CNC machining, cryogenic treatment, and PVD coatings.

Produced in Olean, NY, in collaboration with the skilled people at KA-BAR knives, the design of the Spartan-Harsey Nessmuk is based on a classic American concept popularized by George Washington Sears (1821-1890) and the more moderate ergonomic designs of William W. Harsey Jr.

Under the guidance of a Native American from the Narragansett tribe named Nessmuk, George Washington Sears embraced the natural world, learning survival skills. Sears adopted "Nessmuk," meaning "wood duck," as his pseudonym, reflecting his love for forest life. Writing as "Nessmuk," he contributed to Forest and Stream magazine in the 1880s, promoting canoeing, the Adirondack lakes, and environmentalism.

Sears' diverse experiences led to his writings on the wonders of nature and conservation. He advocated minimalism: lighting fires, setting up tents, and more. He emphasized respect for nature, leading to a call for conservation.

Sears authored "Woodcraft" (1884), offering practical advice and introspection. The "Log of the Bucktail" series and poetry followed. Illness couldn't weaken his love for nature. He passed away in 1890, with Nessmuk's legacy enduring in Wellsboro.

A supporter of thin and sharp knives, Sears' ideals are reflected in our Nessmuk design.

Produced in Olean, NY, in collaboration with the skilled people at KA-BAR knives, the Spartan-Harsey Kukri knife has been designed to be a highly durable hiking knife. The kukri features a blade of over 22cm, making it an all-around tool due to its center of mass, allowing the user to slice while cutting to even penetrate thick objects.

While this blade is primarily famous for its military use, the kukri is more commonly employed as a multi-purpose tool in fields and homes across Nepal. Its uses range from construction, clearing, cutting firewood, digging, butchering animals for food, slicing meat and vegetables, skinning animals, to opening cans.

It can function as a smaller knife using the narrower part of the blade closer to the handle. The heavier and wider end of the blade, towards the tip, functions as a hatchet or a small shovel.

Alala - In ancient Greece, it meant "battle cry" or "war cry" and was the personification of the war cry in Greek mythology. ... Greek soldiers attacked the enemy with this cry to cause panic in their ranks. Its sturdy and comfortable design makes it a very comfortable everyday carry fixed blade with excellent ergonomics. Perfectly suited for daily cutting tasks, it is always ready to assist the user. The molded sheath is equipped with an active retention lever and a securing strap for convenient carry options.

In 1943 a battle was fought between the U.S. and Canadian First Special Service Force and German troops in Italy. Known as the Battle of Monte la Difensa, the courageous performance of the U.S. and Canadian forces on this occasion was essential to the final Allied victory in Italy.

When Canadian Special Forces commissioned Spartan Blades and master cutler William Harsey to produce a blade for them, we knew we wanted to create something special. Our goal was to create a knife that would serve the Special Forces for years to come, both in the northern woods of their homeland and in missions around the world. The result was the Spartan Harsey Difensa, named after the infamous and hard-fought victory achieved through cooperation between Canadian and U.S. forces.

The name refers to the excellent use of this custom tactical knife in the field and on the battlefield. The spearhead profile of this handcrafted knife is flat, with a tapered top edge that provides excellent tip strength, balanced penetration, and cutting power.

The full tang and handle of the Spartan Harsey Difensa allow for neutral balance in the user's hand. Combined with the ergonomic Micarta canvas handle, modified from our Model II, with no rear joints, this custom combat knife provides the griper with a comfortable and secure grip in both dry and wet conditions.

After more than 40 years of service in the U.S. Army Special Forces, Curtis Iovito and Mark Carey founded Spartan Blades LLC in North Carolina. Curtis, who had already been designing and drawing knives for his friends in the Special Forces for years, and Mark, who had always been involved in military and tactical equipment when he served in the "Green Berets," decide to combine their skills and passion with the goal of building innovative and functional knives using the highest quality materials and made entirely in the United States.

Knife handcrafted by Master C.IC. (Corporazione Italiana Coltellinai - Italian Knife-makers Guild) Livio Montagna. Excellent reproduction of one of the most iconic knives ever: the classic Bowie.

Livio Montagna's excellent craftsmanship does justice to this piece of history with its classic and timeless stylistic features: the double guard, the clip point blade, the handle in natural material.

Knife handcrafted by Master C.IC. (Corporazione Italiana Coltellinai - Italian Knife-makers Guild) Livio Montagna.

Famous, often infamous, it generally has a 30 to 50 cm blade, rather narrow and sometimes symmetrical, dagger-style. Used mainly for hunting and personal defence.

Livio Montagna's version is aesthetically very similar to the Toothpick used in Expandables 2.

The knife is distinguished by an excellent overall balance, allowing control and precision in use. The finish is of a good standard.

Company History.
In 1938, Rudy Ruana began making knives in a small store in Montana. Members of his family continue to this day to handcraft Ruana knives in the same store. In 1964 Ruana's son-in-law, Vic Hangas, left a job with a telephone company and put his artistic talents to good use, joining Ruana in the business. Hangas' son Mark began working in the business in 1976. In 1983, Ruana retired at the age of 80 and sold the business to the Hangas family. In 1984 Mike Hangas joined his brother and father and the company was incorporated. Rudy Ruana died in April 1986. He was honored with posthumous induction into the American Bladesmith Society's Hall of Fame in 1997 and Blade magazine's Cutlery Hall of Fame in 2002.

Ruana knives are still handmade in the small Montana store where Rudy Ruana began forging blades more than 80 years ago. In an era of outsourcing and diminishing Made in America products, Ruana knives are still handmade in the United States, with a focus on quality rather than quantity. Although some things have changed over the years, still using the same methods and much of the same equipment used by Rudy Ruana.

History of the Model
The Model 7 was designed as a scaled-down version of the Model 3 Hunter.

Almost immediately, the idea of a scaled-down version of the new Hunter dawned on Bo Randall as an ideal knife for his fellow anglers. An avid fisherman since his youth, Bo regarded this new knife as a labor of love and immediately set to work on the project. At first he tried 4- and 4.5-inch blades, but then opted for the 4 1/2-inch one. Bo wanted the right handle for cleaning brook trout and similar sized fish, so he reduced the size of the handle of the new Hunter and changed its shape. Naturally, he called this model the "Fisherman," and some early prototypes with 4-inch blades were delivered to some dealers during the latter part of September 1945.

The STA Sniper blade was designed for a USMC scout/sniper and STA training group instructor in Phoenix, Arizona. Medford wanted to offer something completely unique to the Sniper's craft and his particular needs.

A clever design that utilises the integration of innovative tools with classic knife elements for a perfect blend of form and function. The 1/2" spanner in the handle fits almost any scope mounting system ring, the hilt screwdriver adjusts to turret adjustments, the measuring marks on the back are extremely convenient for both scouting and sniping, and the LTRE (Look Through Range Estimator) can significantly improve sight distance estimation up to 400 metres. The blade is extremely robust for field work and the compact size allows easy placement in any kit/equipment.

The Ti-Lock mechanism was originally designed to isolate the locking mechanism from the handle of the knife so that it can offer greater freedom of design. Totally ambidextrous, the Ti-Lock is not meant to be a mere exercise in style, but should be understood as a mechanical innovation and a solid and reliable testament to the passion of Chris Reeve and Grant and Gavin Hawk.

The Buck 124 was originally designed in 1966 as a dive combat knife called the Nemo. The model then went into production in 1967 and was offered with either a dive sheath (NEMO) or a leather sheath (FRONTIERSMAN). The knife was the same and has remained so to this day.

In the 1960s about 300 examples were produced and they had black phenolic handles with white Teflon spacers. Then in the 1970s it had a fluctuating production, with very poor sales numbers, until in '73 it was offered with a "Buckarta" (Micarta) handle and began to find favor with the public, with over 10000 examples sold until the early 1980s. Until 1983 model production remained high, and in 1984 a version of the FRONTIERSMAN with a Pakkawood handle was introduced; the 1984 version did not have the patent logos engraved, the 1985 version had the patent engravings, and from 1986 the knife began to have the production date engraved on the blade.

Therefore, our proposed model is from 1984.

Knife withdrawn from private collection, dates from the very first production in 1984 (in fact, it does not indicate the patent engravings, affixed in 1985 and does not indicate the production date, affixed only from 1986). Globally in good condition, it has marks on the blade and handle due to the normal passage of time and the very aggressive scabbard which, containing a spring-loaded metal foil, irreparably scratches the blade both in insertion and extraction - It still has the factory sharpening and comes with a compass in the tang and two harpoons already engaged on the guard branch; lacking instead the box and additional accessories - Checked and certified by our in-house laboratory.

Intended Use: Sporting / Collection

Notes: The feature, patented, is the presence of two removable screw-on harpoons/hooks. The function of these is simple anchorage. In fact, this knife can be used as a throwing hook by attaching a rope to the ring on the pommel. The manufacturer guarantees a harpoon hold of up to 600 pounds. The Navy Seals, specifically, had requested a knife that could be used underwater in order to anchor the vehicles to an underwater attachment point, and that is the reason for the total steel construction.

Chris Reeve - Mk IV 28 Year Commemorative knife

For 28 years, (the A2 round handled) One Piece Range of knives has been an essential part of Chris Reeve Knives. From Chris first designing the concept while serving in the South African Army in Namibia to today, these knives have been used, carried, admired and collected in all corners of the world.

An integral part of the success of this range has been Eddie Myers. Eddie was Chris's foreman when Chris was an apprentice tool and die maker. They have known each other more years than they care to count and Chris has always regarded Eddie as mentor, teacher, friend and consultant! For 25 years, Eddie has machined the blanks for our One Piece Knives. Still living in South Africa, Eddie and his wife Caroline, have provided fine service to deliver the best blanks at the best price. (There is no question that the volatility of the South African currency has helped over the years!)

Eddie and Caroline want to retire. Ed wants to buy a boat again and go fishing whenever he feels like it! This brought us to a cross-roads--do we try to source a vendor in the USA or should we simply retire a - Classic. We have decided to take the second choice--to discontinue the One Piece Range.

To celebrate the end of this era, Chris Reeve Knives offered a limited edition of 250 Commemorative Mk IVs. The Mk IV was the first iteration of the one piece concept to become known there is still call for this model which we initially discontinued in 1995. It has a 7 inch blade with a clip point and sawback. For this commemorative edition, the butt cap is engraved and polished and the sheath has a commemorative logo embossed.

One Piece Knife Concept

The idea of the one piece knife was born while Chris was serving time in the South African Army on the Namibia/Angola border in 1979. The experiences of military service have contributed substantially to the features in these knives.

Chris realized that the ideal working knife was a tool which was strong, reliable and impervious to temperature and humidity. Extensive time has been devoted to design, and research and development to improve both the blade designs and the methods used in making the knives.

Each knife is made from a solid billet of A2 tool steel. The stock removal method results in two distinct advantages--the strength/weight ratio is exceptional and there is no handle/blade join. This means that there is no area where the blade and handle could come apart--a weakness in the design of other hollow handle knives. The handle cavity is larger than that of any similar knife. The hollow handle is closed with a butt cap made of 6061 aluminum which screws into the handle against a Neoprene "O" ring, ensuring the cavity is sealed from dust and moisture. All the one piece knives are hardened to 55-57 RC and random checks are made to ensure accuracy. This hardness gives superb toughness, good edge retention and allows for efficient sharpening in the field. Each knife is coated with super hi-tech KG Gun-Koteä originally developed for use in the aerospace industry. This coating offers a durable, long-lasting, non-reflective covering. Included in the price of each knife is a hand-made leather sheath. A lifelong guarantee, signed by Chris accompanies each knife.
The one piece design offers the highest possible weight/strength ratio
A2 Tool Steel offers excellent edge retention and good shock resistance
Hardness at between 55 and 57 Rockwell C is not brittle but gives good edge retention along with ease of sharpening
An 8" hollow grind is used with a full thickness back edge. All designs are ground to allow the full thickness of the back edge to come as close to the point as possible, affording a very strong front tip but not restricting the knife's ability to pierce
The hollow handle, which is created to reduce weight, is larger than any similar sized knife because there is no join between handle and blade
The aluminum butt cap provides an airtight closure for the hollow handle and is designed so that it can be used for hammering. Because using the knife as a hammer can be dangerous to one's knuckles and fingers, we do not recommend that this be done unless in an emergency situation. It is preferable to use a hammer
Full depth precision machined knurling affords maximum non-slip grip
Non-reflective KG Gun-Koteä coating gives lasting protection
All knives carry a lifetime guarantee and a damaged knife will be replaced or repaired at Chris' discretion. This guarantee does not cover damage to a knife that has been thrown or used for heavy levering
These knives are used by hunters, backpackers, SWAT teams, military personnel, firefighters and police all over the world. They are also to be found in many knife collections and most of our customers own more than one of our knives
Each hand made leather sheath is designed to fit the knife well, to give maximum protection to the carrier and the knife when being carried. Because we continue to improve our design, sheaths supplied might not be exactly as shown in the brochure
Replacement butt caps and sheaths are available at reasonable prices
Many customers feel that once their knives have been used, they lose collector's value. This is not so as the knife can be returned to Chris Reeve Knives, where it will be sandblasted, re-coated with KG Gun-Kotea, sharpened and returned to it's original condition. Contact Chris Reeve Knives for cost. Please return knife in sheath
