History of the Reaper Knife

The REAPER was created by Konstantin Ulyanov, one of the most experienced knife fighting masters in Ukraine. The defining feature of this model is its unique geometry, specifically engineered for clinch fighting techniques.

This knife was designed for the most extreme self-defense scenarios, intended to deliver devastatingly effective strikes in a clinch. The REAPER is a "last-ditch" weapon for the most challenging situations a practitioner can imagine. While its soul is tactical, it remains a practical EDC tool, ready for everyday tasks like opening packages, cutting straps, or outdoor utility work.

  This feature ensures strength and durability. The knife is made of stainless steel 1.4116 with a thickness of 5 mm, hardened to 57 HRC. Thanks to these steel characteristics, the knife’s cutting edge maintains sharpness for an extended period, and it can be easily sharpened without requiring any special tools.
