The Kudu Hunter fixed-blade knife offers an excellent balance between form and function: the wide drop point blade is reminiscent of its predecessor model Harpoon, but without the dedicated thumb rest. The handle is extremely comfortable for different types of grips, and its shape does not cause fatigue during long periods of use. The Kydex scabbard has a Kydex belt loop that allows you to switch between normal belt carry and scout carry, right or left handed, with ease. This is truly an excellent "all-around" design by Andre.

Logan is not a common liner, but hides an epic revolution in the constructive concept!

Unlike traditional liners, Logan has no moving pins, but is born from a 5th titanium monolith. The accurate CNC milling machines produce Logan's body: solid, lightweight, slim and highly functional where the blade rotates on the pin, one With the base, to ensure a high strength and sturdiness. The retractable screws in the body give Logan the ultimate touch of clean elegance.
