FOBOS Knives is a veteran-owned, service-disabled small business enterprise founded on a single standard: Quality. Quality in design, function, and performance. We are dedicated to creating superior tools tailored to the needs of the end-user, ensuring that our knives deliver unmatched performance.

Our Commitment to Quality

At FOBOS, quality is defined through:

  • Effective Weights and Proper Balance Points:

Ensuring optimal performance and ease of use.

  • Ergonomic Handle Design: Providing comfort and secure grip during use.
  • Designed-in Primary & Secondary Bevels: Enhancing the functionality and versatility of our blades.
  • Proper Material Selection: Using the right grade material for each specific job.
    Fit & Finish: Crafting each tool to perfection, down to the finest detail.

Performance quality is at the core of everything we do, ensuring that every knife meets the highest standards.

Our Founder’s Background

 

The founder of FOBOS Knives brings a wealth of experience and a unique perspective to the craft. A soldier who joined the military at 17 in 1984, he served for 29 years across various government organizations. For 23 of those years, he was an 18D Special Forces medic, operating worldwide, particularly from shortly after 9/11 until late 2014.

As a designer, maker, builder, tinkerer, and artist, he has worked with renowned brands like London Bridge, First Spear, Velocity Systems, and MatBock. From sewing his own gear to making his own knives, his hands-on experience and innovative mindset have driven him to create tools that are just a bit different—tools that meet the unique needs of their users.

The Special Operations Approach

Every aspect of a FOBOS knife, from the handles and blade geometry to the sheath designs and heat treatments, is crafted with a special operations approach. This ensures that each knife is reliable and effective, possibly even being the reason you succeed in critical moments.

Craftsmanship and Warranty

We believe that our hard-use knives are the best on the planet. Crafting such high-quality tools takes time, the right materials, dedication, endurance, and experience. We understand that you are investing your hard-earned money into our products, and we back that investment with a limited lifetime warranty. Should your knife fail, send us the handle, and we will fix or replace it. Original ownership is irrelevant—the knife is what matters. However, remember, we warranty the knife, not the user. Use it wisely.
