The HD - Heavy Duty - Series Knives

These knives are exactly as the name implies - Heavy Duty. The HD Knives feature a rock solid .125 thick titanium frame lock. There are no liners on these knives, just the .125 thick titanium on one side and a slab of .125 G10 on the top side.

The Framelock or integral lock as called by some is one of the strongest locking mechanisms ever devised. Perfected and Popularized by my good friend Chris Reeves.

I have chosen two models for the HD series - The legendary CQC-7 knife and my own personal favorite - the one I carry, the CQC-12 Comrade.

The CQC-7 has now attained the "legend status" among knife designs. It was the knife that changed the entire knife industry and is the benchmark knife against which all other tactical knives are judged. The "New" CQC-7 (if you're astute, you'll notice some subtle design changes) with the rugged frame lock takes this knife to a new standard of excellence. The HD-7 could very well be the "Ultimate" tactical knife.

The CQC-12 Comrade is a design drawn from the battle proven AK-47 bayonet, I've used these bayonets in the field for years and they never failed or let me down. The CQC-12 has the same rugged dependability. With the super strong .125 framelock design, the Comrade is a true military workhorse. This knife the CQC-12 is one of the strongest folding knives ever built. I am proud to say that it faithfully and accurately replicates the blade, the handle, and the "feel" of the actual AK-47 Bayonet. I was originally contacted by Mikhail Kalashnikov to build the AK-47 folder for him. I did, but "another" European knife company got wind of it and produced a much cheaper knife. It's a cheap flimsy knife. The one I made was the real deal and I am very proud of it. I love this knife. In fact it is my favorite and it is the only knife I have carried now for over two years. It is now available to the public. I couldn't call it the AK-47 but Comrade fits it pretty good. It's been mine for over two years. The minute you pick one up you'll know what I mean.
