Overview
NUMBER THREE - “Knuckles” 3.0
Historians believe that “Knuckles” or “Dusters” originated from ancient Greece and Rome, where they were first used by Gladiators. These often crude but devastating weapons, have been carried by soldiers during the American civil war, by Parisian gangs “Les Apaches” in the late 1800’s and were widely carried and used by soldiers of both world wars.
Our Dusters are a modern version of a historic model manufactured and carried by the soldiers of the Austro-Hungarian Empire during the First World War.
It is to be noted that our Dusters do not have a palm swell like other designs. This particularity allowed soldiers to wear the knuckles and still perform tasks such as manipulating and reloading firearms for example.
Also, we chose to CNC our Dusters from a solid block of Aluminum, making them compact and lightweight, while still being brutally devastating.

NUMBER THIRTEEN - "CYCLOP"
The first Push Daggers most likely originated in India with the famous "Katar," dating back to the 18th century.
Push Daggers were also found during the Gold Rush, worn on the belts of prospectors, poker players, and prostitutes.
Since then, they have been used in combat in every major conflict, including World War I, World War II, and the Vietnam War.
Anatomically, Push Daggers, with their T-shaped handle, offer a firm and strong grip. It is a "personal protection" tool, easily concealable and very comfortable to carry anywhere on the body.
Our No.13 "CYCLOP" is made from VG-10 steel, offering excellent protection against premature oxidation.
We chose a "saber grind" bevel with a single edge to optimize cutting performance.
The triangular point improves piercing capacity while providing high cutting power. By opting for a single edge on the Cyclop, we also favored versatility: this configuration allows it to be used as a tool, with the index finger resting on the back of the blade for precise tasks, such as field dressing game. Additionally, many countries prohibit symmetrical double-edged blades, making the Cyclop more compliant with regulations.
The handle scales are made from G10, a synthetic material offering exceptional strength and high resistance to temperature variations. They completely cover the handle to maximize ergonomics and comfort in the hand.
The sheath is made from Kydex, a lightweight material that is resistant to temperature fluctuations. It allows for multiple carry modes and provides simple and efficient drawing.
With its lightweight design and thoughtful ergonomics, the Cyclop is easily forgotten when worn, while ensuring an optimal grip. This model is ideal as an EDC knife for "personal protection" or as a "backup”.

NUMBER FOUR - “S.O.E. Lapel Dagger” *DISCONTINUED*
The Lapel Dagger is an emblematic weapon of the S.O.E.
The S.O.E. “Special Operations Executive”, was a secret British WW2 organization officially formed on July 22nd 1940 under Minister of Economic Warfare Hugh Dalton, from the amalgamation of three existing secret organizations. The purpose of the S.O.E. was to conduct espionage, sabotage and reconnaissance in occupied Europe (and later in Southeast Asia) against Axis powers, and to aid local resistance movements.
Easily concealable, the Lapel Dagger was part of the clandestine weapons carried by S.O.E. agents behind enemy lines. As per the original models, our Lapel Dagger comes with a simple sheath to be sown directly on clothes (behind the lapel of a coat or inside a pocket…) or to be carried around the neck.
This easily concealable weapon was often used as a last ditch effort to slash the hand or the face of an enemy soldier to facilitate escape.
