Mission ready tools that are Forged By War®. These are mission ready tools, designed by veterans, with a portion of the proceeds donated to the veterans' charity of choice. In 2016, we launched the Forged By War® program. Drawing from their experience earned in combat situations, they have been creating tools they wished they had available to them in the battlefield.ĬRKT® cares deeply about our returning veterans and we saw a way to give back to the community that created them.
To help work through their challenges, they have been designing and forging steel into custom tools. In 2013, Ryan Johnson of RMJ Tactical, designer of elite, military, tactical tomahawks, approached CRKT® with the news that he had been working with a few combat veterans that had returned from war with varying degrees of post-traumatic stress (PTS). The Tecpatl™ is first choice for last resort.
#Obsidian scalpel so sharp no bleeding full#
The Boltaron® sheath is spring loaded with a MOLLE compatible gear clip so it’s always exactly where you need it.Įven in a world full of sophisticated missiles and UAVs, there’s still no excuse to skimp on your hand-to-hand combat companion. If situations shift or deescalate, the low-profile hold allows you to grab your gun, or assailant, without dropping or shifting the knife’s position in your hand. Then, making a cut near the flank with a sharp knife of Ethiopian stone. It’s solid in the closed-fist position, making it ideal for pushing or slashing. It certainly was not intended as an embalmers reference, since it was written. This knife is reminiscent of the traditional obsidian close-quarter knife for which the Tecpatl™ is named, and the multiple hand deployments is what elevates this knife to greatness. Finally, the three lightning bolts pay homage to the Green Berets and their shoulder patch. What you might not know is that Michael served in 7th Special Forces group-he commemorates this with the engraved 7 just above the blade and the arrow that’s reminiscent of the crossed arrows of the Special Forces.
You’ll probably recognize the horns, the Crusader’s Cross, and the Office of Strategic Services Symbol. The blade of this powerful knife features a black powder finish for corrosion resistance and is complete with a sugar skull laser marking as a reflection of Michael’s heritage and his own personal story. We’ll take his word for it-he served 21 years in the United States Army and retired as a Green Beret.
His conviction: a good combat fighter relies on instinct a great fighter understands the importance of an ergonomically flawless weapon. Rodriguez of Fayetteville, North Carolina designed the Tecpatl™ as a part of the CRKT® Forged by War® program. Ergonomically thoughtful, in the heat of the moment, it’s hard to tell where your anatomy ends and the blade begins. The Tecpatl™ fixed blade knife was designed by a veteran from his experience in combat situations. Not everyone can make it count when it’s a last resort. Some of the findings discovered in the excavations are being displayed at the Samsun Archaeology Museum.Anyone can throw a punch. Weapons, devices, ovens and ornaments were unearthed separately during the excavations, showing that the inhabitants of the İkiztepe region played an important role in the development of mining in Anatolia. The excavations have also revealed that there was continuous settlement in the region between 4000 B.C. “As this stone is very sharp and hygienic, it was used as a scalpel in brain surgeries. We think obsidian was brought to this region through trade,” Bilgi said. Obsidian beds are generally situated in the Central Anatolian region of Cappadocia. “During this year’s excavations, which started July 15, we discovered a piece of obsidian that was used as a scalpel in surgeries. Speaking to the Anatolia news agency, Professor Önder Bilgi, the chairman of the excavations, said that the work in the ruins of the İkiztepe village in Samsun’s Bafra district had begun in 1974. A piece of obsidian (volcanic glass) dating back 4,000 years and believed to have been used as a scalpel for surgery has been unearthed during excavations carried out in the Black Sea province of Samsun.
