HUXWRX and Strider Knives Introduce 50-Unit Military-Spec Black Magic Configuration

Thursday, February 19th, 2026

Serialized suppressor and SMF knife specification represents the first and only public release of this configuration.

SALT LAKE CITY — February 17, 2026 — HUXWRX Safety Co. and Strider Knives today announced the release of the Black Magic suppressor and Strider SMF Black Magic in a controlled allocation of 50 serialized configurations. The specification was originally engineered and manufactured to meet elite military operational requirements and is being made available publicly for the first time.

Each suppressor and knife are precision laser engraved with matching serial numbers, permanently linking the components as a unified configuration.

“This configuration is beautifully refined in its execution, but make no mistake, it was engineered for operational performance,” said Vinnie Palucci, Director of Lethality at HUXWRX. “The Black Magic specification was built to meet a professional military requirement. These are functional systems first and collectible artifacts second. That priority has not changed.”

The Black Magic suppressor reflects HUXWRX’s patented Flow-Through technology, engineered to reduce back pressure and toxic gas exposure while maintaining structural integrity under sustained firing schedules. Designed for demanding professional environments, the system prioritizes shooter safety, reliability and performance consistency.

The Strider SMF is an established model with documented operational lineage and was the first folding knife issued to Marine Corps Special Operations Command Detachment One. Strider Knives has operated for more than 30 years and is recognized for tools built for demanding professional environments.

The SMF BLACK MAGIC features a 3.9-inch drop point blade constructed from CPM-20CV steel and a titanium frame lock body. The steel’s elevated chromium and vanadium content delivers high wear resistance, edge retention and corrosion resistance suited for harsh conditions. The knife measures 9 inches overall with a 5.1-inch titanium handle incorporating Strider’s proprietary Double Gunner Grip pattern, engineered to maintain traction in wet or debris-laden environments.

Both components are finished in HUXWRX’s proprietary PRISM2 coating. The configuration is available now at huxwrx.com/black-magic-x-strider-suppressor
