I’m a fan of the Garberg from Morakniv which comes with their multi mount option.
It features a stainless blade with full-tang construction into a polymer barrel-shaped handle with soft friction grip. The blade also has a ground spine for use with a fire starter.
The sheath is PALS as well as belt compatible.

The HZ6 is a new tactical model from CRKT Knives. Designed by James Williams of Vass, North Carolina, it is inspired by a classical Japanese straight sword, the hira-zukuri.
It features full tang construction with a 6.5″ powder coated blade from SK-5 carbon steel and G10 handles. The HZ6 comes with a Boltaron sheath.
Winkler Knives has updated the Defense Dagger by adding low profile scales rather than the skeletonized handle on the original version.
American Service Knife is a new multi-tool brand created by Marine Veteran and renowned knife maker Greg Medford.
This model is the Jefferson. It features Orange scales, Drop Point Blade, Chisel, and Bottle Opener. However, the knives are modular and the components as well as scales can be swapped out.
Like the name says, these are American made. Their steels are powdered stainless alloys from Niagara Specialty Metal in upstate New York, the Titanium they use is mined in Ohio and their plastic injection molded scales are made in Scottsdale, Arizona from American made plastic material suppliers.
Dynamis Alliance honcho and former SEAL Dom Raso showed me his Neptune Blade, a dedicated dive knife during my brief visit to the Blade Show in Atlanta.
He’s been working in perfecting the design over the past several years and it’s great to see this American made knife finally out and hitting the market.
The blade which features double edge serrations is made from CPMS110V with a NEPT-X proprietary coating to resist salt water.
It also integrates a line cutting notch as well as a grip lanyard making it easy to ensure you won’t lose your knife. That same lanyard also secures your knife within the sheath.
Finally, the Neptune has multiple mounting options:
• MOLLE Vertical Mount
• Horizontal MOLLE Mount
• Horizontal Belt Mount
• Dive/Duty Belt Mount
• Includes Dynamis IWB Sheath
Expect the first run to be out by the end of 2022.
