Featured: Pararescue "PJ" prototype. In the mid 1990s, I was asked by Pararescuemen to make the best knife I could, one suitable for combat and rescue operations, a knife that could be used to build a shelter, defend against an attacker, sever an entanglement, dig a hole, and be "shove it in a rock and stand on it" tough. They asked for a positively locking sheath, built "bulletproof," suitable for wearing during a HALO jump. This was my prototype. It was not a design I simply threw together; it was created from the minds of Pararescuemen: guys who took knives to the field and used them and knew just what they needed. I was honored to have them ask me to put my hands and skill to their needs. Since those beginnings, I've made many Pararescue knives with their input, suggestions, and ideas. These knives are not all as elaborate as the commemorative you see here, most of them are tactical gray, bead blasted, with micarta handles. But the most important thing is that they are out there, doing the job, in the hands of our nation's top military rescue service. I still consider it one of my greatest honors to make a knife for a PJ.

I've been honored to have a close affiliation with members of the United States Air Force Pararescue, our nation's top military rescue service. These PJs (Pararescue Jumpers) are amazing men: starting with just about the toughest training in the military, ending up in every aircraft military rescue operation, over land or sea, and in countless civilian rescues beyond the scope of typical rescue personnel. They are incredible soldier-paramedics, trained in advanced combat lifesaving techniques, water rescue, survival, combat tactics, mountain rescue, and many other fields. They parachute behind enemy lines to rescue our own. See my military pictures of the PJs during training here.

If you Google "Pararescue Knives," I'll be the first one on the list, worldwide. There's a reason for this. I make real Pararescue knives, for PJs, and have for many years. There are others out there, for sure, but I'll put my PJ knives against any others for design, construction, and combat worth. Simply put, they're the best CSAR knife made. And I wouldn't have a PJ carrying anything but the best!

I work with Pararescuemen to get them the knives they want to use and carry, in combat, in CSAR operations, on mountaintops, in the desert, and on the ocean. I've made honorary knives that hang in memory of fallen PJs worldwide at their Rescue Squadrons. Most of the PJ combat, tactical, CSAR (Combat Search and Rescue)and SAR knives here are evolutions of collaborative designs, field trials and combat testing and tuning. Along with the PJs, I also make knives for SERE, that's Survival, Evasion, Resistance, and Escape, of the USAF. On this page, you'll see the ever-advancing products of their input. Be sure to check out the most popular Pararescue Tactical, Combat and Rescue knife here.

For you PJs who are interested in the very best CSAR knife made, to your specs:

• Ever wondered about that particular design you doodled on a piece of scrap paper?
• Want a combat knife that won't fall out of your hand?
• Want a good sheath, a positively locking combat grade sheath that is waterproof and will last as long as the knife?
• Do you have some specific need for cutting edges and geometry that your factory knife can't fill?
• Tired of  those blocky chisel-like spec knives officially  issued and more suited to digging holes than slicing 'chute cord? 
• Are you tired of factory knives that some pantywaist designer at a factory thinks looks "tough" and "tactical?"
• Need a hot-blued jet black blade?
• How about a stainless steel blade patinaed to a durable non-glare finish?
• A unique handle material?
• A mechanism?
• A damn good knife that you can trust your life and your charge's life with?
• A commemorative gold embellished etched and engraved award for outstanding service?

I can make it for you.

Back in 1998, I was asked to make commemorative knives designed and carried by Air Force Pararescue Team Tier One members enrolled in the Discovery Channel’s EcoChallenge Race across Patagonia, Bariloche, Argentina in December, 1999. Talk about a field test! While the team was in the studio designing their own knives, they came up with models that I offer for field ops, marine and oceanic use, and commemoratives. Below are thumbnail pictures of the prototypes roughed out.

Please note: I'm only making a limited number of combat grade knives yearly. Because of high order volume, I've had to regulate the amount of combat knife orders, so I can make and deliver them in a timely fashion. Thanks for you patience and understanding.
