Tactical Knives

Our knives stand for the streets
Our knives stand by those who fight in war
Stand with Ukraine, and with our knives defend what matters most

Blade Brothers Knives is a Ukrainian knife brand founded by Oleksandr Vorobey, a veteran of the Russian-Ukrainian war, President of the Knife Fighting Federation of Ukraine and Founder of the Blade Brothers knife fighting club.

From the very beginning of the Russian-Ukrainian war, Oleksandr Vorobey volunteered to join the fight against invading Russian troops. He participated in military combat operations and was badly wounded in July 2014. After recovery, Oleksandr Vorobey founded a knife manufacturing company. Since then he has developed new models of military combat knives based on  his experience.

In the beginning of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022, Oleksandr Vorobey defended Kharkiv as part of the volunteer platoon ‘Knifefighters’, which was made up of Blade Brothers Knife Fighting Club athletes and combat veterans. Most instructors of the Ukrainian Knife Fighting Federation also joined the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

During the war, we tested our knives in the most extreme conditions under high loads, in any weather and environment, and made certain modifications so that the defenders of Ukraine could fully rely on the tactical knives from Blade Brothers Knives.

Premium-class stainless steel, the best handle material with improved texture for a reliable grip, attachment of handles with stainless steel screws that can be tightened if necessary, improved sheaths compatible with MOLLE and TEK LOK – all of these make BBKnives tactical knives an integral part of the military equipment of Ukrainian soldiers.

Our knives have been hardened in hellish battles and tested in combat operations. They are wielded by brave warriors across Ukraine, and commanders award their troops with our knives.
We are proud of this!

We constantly train the personnel of the Armed Forces, National Guard, and Security Service of Ukraine. Athletes and instructors of the Blade Brothers Knife Fighting Club defend our country, teach and train their fellow soldiers in effective knife fighting techniques.
We are proud of this!

What is the difference between a tactical and combat knife?

A tactical knife is designed by BB Knives both for military and general utility purposes and can be used in a variety of situations, such as for camping, hunting, survival, and everyday carry. Our tactical knives have features such as a sturdy blade, a comfortable grip, and a durable construction that can withstand tough conditions.

On the other hand, a combat knife is designed by BB Knives specifically for military personnel to use in trenches, in battle field and in combat situations. These knives are designed for better control in high-stress situations.

While both tactical and combat knives can have similar features and functions, the primary difference lies in their intended use. Tactical knives are designed for versatility and general utility, while combat knives are designed for specialized use in combat situations.

But all of our knives are primarily designed for self-defense, and any of them can be used as a weapon for self-protection in close knife fighting conflict.
