Wild Bill Braski: Blades, Training, and The Impaler

Monday, August 25th, 2025

There’s a certain kind of man forged in fire, sharpened by adversity, and honed by the grind of years in the arena. Bill Braski is one of those men. From leading Marines in combat as an Infantry Unit Leader, late night call outs with SWAT, grinding through DARC’s hallways, working Patrol as a police officer, and sweating on jiu-jitsu mats. Braski’s life has been defined by two constants: combat readiness and quality tools. His endless pursuit of excellence was forged in the chaotic moments where luck ran out for good men. That’s where this story really starts, not in a forge, but in the aftermath of close calls and the memory of friends hurt or gone, reminders that “we’ve always done it this way” training are gambles nobody should take.

Media by CHMBRD media

For Braski, “good enough” has never been enough. He’s seen too many failures—gear that looked the part but collapsed under pressure, and training forced to adapt to subpar equipment. Instead of complaining, he built solutions. “Necessity breeds innovation” isn’t just another slogan to him; it’s a debt to the people who didn’t get another chance.

Media by CHMBRD media

What started as a small shop making custom brass knuckles—gifts of grit and resilience for friends and fellow prepared individuals—quickly evolved. The intrigue of creating edged tools was always present, and Braski knew there was a space in the market for a blade that could meet the brutal realities of professional duty while still providing the ability to train with absolute realism.

That philosophy became Wild Bill Braski Knife & Tool. The flagship: The Impaler Training Package.

The Blade

The Impaler is a purpose-built tool designed for the moments that matter most. Machined from CPM-154CM stainless steel, it offers an optimal balance of edge retention, corrosion resistance, and toughness while also allowing the end user to have an easy sharpening experience.  At 5/32″ thick and 3.99″ in blade length, its geometry is engineered for deep penetration without sacrificing tip strength.

The grind maintains a reinforced tip that can withstand repeated post-penetration torque without chipping or rolling. Its whale-tail pommel (punyo) is a biomechanical advantage. It gives the user a natural purchase point, allowing for a rapid, consistent draw under duress.

Media by CHMBRD media

Whether capping the thumb for precision thrusts or indexing the blade in the dark, the punyo translates to speed on the draw and is a force multiplier for a power assist thrust. Textured G10 scales, which are machined, blasted, and impervious to weather. The blade’s black nitride coating not only resists wear and corrosion but also minimizes glare, blending stealth with durability. On the squared spine, aggressive jimping ensures correct blade orientation, while the sharp 90-degree spine serves as a ferro rod striker, scraper, or leverage point in post penetration techniques

Etched into every blade: Work the Problem— A subtle reminder to always be forward thinking and actively problem solving, and when things get hard, just keep working. One step FORWARD at a time.

Training as the Core

In the worlds of professional duty and self-preservation, gear without training is just dead weight. The Impaler Training package isn’t simply about owning a knife—it’s about knowing how to use it. Braski’s law enforcement career, black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and years of teaching combatives have taught him a valuable truth: skill is perishable, but training keeps it alive.

The Impaler Training Package is built with the truth said by Miyamoto Musashi in The Book of Five Rings: “You can only fight the way you practice. Without relentless training, skill is an illusion—only disciplined repetition makes it real.”

Media by Advokit,llc

In weapon-retention scenarios, the Impaler gives officers a support-side lethal option when their firearm is locked in a struggle. In SWAT training, reps on the shot timer showed that from inside the reactionary gap, transitioning to the Impaler often beats a pistol draw after a rifle malfunctionduring CQB combatives. The blade’s penetrating power and whale-tail leverage also provide control to drive adversaries into clean walls—creating space for teammates’ opening sectors of fire.

The Package Includes

  • Live CPM-154CM Impaler blade
  • AEB-L stainless trainer
  • Kydex sheath with DCC clip
  • MOAS Universal Magnetic Sheath (patent pending) with proprietary hardware
  • Training resources from Bill Braski

The Trainer

Prove or disprove theories of employing your tools by using the trainer. When designing this package, a trainer was mandatory and almost as important as the live blade, not an afterthought.

Crafted from AEB-L stainless steel, it mirrors the live blade’s ergonomics while being a half-inch shorter, ensuring every training strike with the live blade achieves real penetration depth.

Media by Advokit,llc

Every edge is rounded to protect training partners, yet the weight and balance replicate the live version for accurate muscle memory. Stainless steel was chosen over aluminum to prevent chipping, deformation, and sheath damage—critical for longevity in high-rep training. Resistant to sweat, rain, and the abuses of scenario work, it’s a trainer meant to last as long as the blade itself.

Media by CHMBRD Media

Ambidextrous Kydex Belt Sheath—Minimal, secure, and built for discreet carry with a Discreet Carry Concepts (DCC) clip. It locks the blade in place while allowing a smooth draw from either hand in either blade orientation.

Media by CHMBRD Media

MOAS Universal Magnetic Sheath—Braski’s patent-pending game-changer from his other company PragmaTAC. Using a consistent 5–6 lbs of magnetic retention, it accepts any steel blade within its dimensions—in any orientation. The magnetic system not only secures the blade but also pulls it into place as you re-sheath it, eliminating the fumbling common with traditional designs. Fully user-serviceable, it can be disassembled for cleaning and field repair. Providing both sheaths ensures users always have a functional setup for both the live blade and trainer.

Final Word

Wild Bill Braski Knife & Tool was built on the belief that training and tools must stand together. We make tools for end users—tools you carry, train with, and trust when there’s no one coming to save you.

Wild Bill Braski Knife & Tool was built on the belief that tools and training must be equal parts of the equation. The Impaler Training Package is available on pre-order now and will be released September 1, 2025, at wbbkt.com .

Media by Advokit,llc

The Impaler Training Package embodies that philosophy—engineered for performance, backed by resources to make you effective. This isn’t a collector’s piece. It’s an ecosystem. A reminder to:

Work the Problem. Own the Solution.
