The history of the brand Blade Brothers Knives begins in 2007 with the foundation of the Blade Brothers Knife Fighting Club. During training and creating unique knife fighting techniques, Oleksandr Vorobey designed the author’s models of knives based on the experience of training and practical use of the knife.

The exact gear varies from person to person and is often defined by one’s hobbies, occupation, and daily routine tasks.
