Although we aren’t close, I consider Ryan M Johnson a friend. Since founding RMJ Tactical, makers of tomahawks, he has spent quite a bit of time passing his craft on to others, many of whom are wounded warriors.
His latest creation is the upcoming GULF from CRKT Knives.
-Black Stonewash Finish improves Corrosion Resistance
-G10 Handle Provides Exceptional Grip in All Weather Conditions
-Low Profile Pocket Clip for Discreet Carry

The Fallkniven X Series F1 is, arguably the world most functional and high performing survival knife, considered to be one of the best in the world.
The X-series knives are strong, sharp, safe, comfortable and also really stylish, especially the all-black versions. The basis of the X-knife’s strength lies in the laminated cobalt steel in combination with the well thought out construction in which break zones have been eliminated. Together with the hand shaped convex edge, the X-knife is a concept that beats everything else in the world in terms of safety, comfort and hard use.
To that they have added a cleverly constructed sheath in a special plastic that locks the knife, smart as simple. This month, a stainless steel clip will also become available, it allows you to easily hook the knife on and off from your waistband, adding to its versatility and ease of use.

This is the new Punch Dagger from VZ Grips.
It’s machined from a solid piece of their proprietary G10 which is non-electrically conductive and doesn’t throw a metal signature liie carbon fiber, making it invisible to Garret wands and other metal detectors. Likewise, the sheath is full leather with no metal. Additionally, the Kino feature handle incorporates their new argyle checkering to keep it securely in your hand.

The American Knife & Tool Institute Announces the First in a Series of Expert Articles on Intellectual Property and Brand Protection to Help Knife Businesses
Cody, Wyoming (November 14, 2019) – The American Knife & Tool Institute (AKTI) is very pleased to announce that the first in a series of articles to provide a useful toolkit for knife businesses has been published on its website. Authored by two experts in the fields of intellectual property and brand protection, Denise Mosteller and Jeremiah Pastrick, as guest contributors on the nonprofit’s website, the article is titled “Intellectual Property 101.”
Mark Schreiber President CRKT
“We are pleased to share valuable information on intellectual property with our members and the entire sporting knife industry,” said Mark Schreiber, President of CRKT and chair of AKTI’s Anti-Counterfeiting Committee. “Helping our industry thrive and grow is part of our mission as a nonprofit trade association representing the entire knife community.”
“When it comes to the basic types of intellectual property (IP) the ‘Big Three’ include patents, copyrights and trademarks,” said Jeremiah Pastrick, who has served as both vice president of a consulting firm specializing in international intellectual property (IP) development, protection and anti-counterfeiting as well as IP counsel to a wide range of global IP owners. “By and large, each of these forms of IP differ in what they provide protection for, what they don’t provide protection for, how they are created, how they are ‘secured’, and what public policy interest they are meant to serve.”
Denise Mosteller, who has had over 22 years of investigation, brand management and intellectual property experience, explained, “Intellectual property is ‘intangible,’ meaning that all forms of it are recognized as ‘creations of the mind.’ The knife industry is very innovative with different knife designs and mechanisms and makers need to protect those unique aspects to ensure financial success and protect their own individual brands.”
The first “Brand Protection” article on the website “Intellectual Property 101” can be viewed at www.AKTI.org.
