Defiant7 collaborates with talented knife makers and designers (our pals) to create kickass knives and gear. But we don't just work with these makers for the fun of it, but to accomplish a goal to create something that might not otherwise exist. Sometimes that goal is to bring a model to the market that the designer doesn't have the bandwidth or machines to meet demand. Sometimes it's to get that maker into an area outside of the norm, like new folder from a fixed blade-exclusive maker. Whatever that goal is, we create high performance tools that reflect the designer's skills, style and ethos.
