AK 47 Knife
In 1947, Mikhail Kalashnikov, the legendary Russian gun designer, created the AK-47 assault rifle. Eventually adopted by the Red Army in 1949, it became famous as the “People’s Rifle”. Such renown was well deserved, as it was an utterly reliable weapon; rugged, simple to operate and maintain, economical, and effective at reasonable ranges. This weapon, and all it represents became the inspiration for our heavy-duty tactical knives, the AK-47® folders. Designed by Andrew Demko, the AK-47’s® possess all of the attributes of their namesake, and perhaps a few more.
Built for hard and rugged use, the AK-47® is available in two designs. The first features a handle made with thick aircraft grade aluminum scales and the other comes with G-10 scales. Both offer a robust grip that is remarkably tough, rigid, and incomparably strong. The grip is also equipped with a unique pommel. Made of Grivory®, the pommel features two lanyard holes, and can serve as a “less than lethal” percussion tool in a self-defense situation.
The hollow ground blades are honed by hand until they reach levels of sharpness only seen on a surgeon’s scalpel. They’re made from Japanese AUS 8A Stainless steel, then vacuum heat treated, and sub zero quenched to make them as tough and rugged as humanly possible. The aluminum handled version comes with a bead blast finish and the G-10 version comes with a black Teflon® coated blade. To complement such an exceptional blade, we have equipped the AK-47® with our Ultra Lock® locking mechanism. With our latest refinements and testing, this lock has proven itself to be equal, perhaps even superior, to any other lock on the market in terms of strength and shock resistance.
Finally, to assure easy access, and swift operation, the AK-47’s® come with an ambidextrous pocket clip and our new patented thumb plate. The thumb plate has a dual purpose, it allows the knife to be drawn and quickly opened by snagging it on the edge of a pocket or it can be used like a conventional thumb stud for easy one-handed opening.
