Inyoni
Small enough for convenient carry but large enough to do substantial work, the Inyoni combines function with elegance, hi-tech with tradition.
Inyoni is the Zulu word for “bird” and the slim blade works easily with birds, fish and small game. The S30V full tang blade is notably stain resistant and is complemented with a comfortable handle of Cocobolo. A leather belt sheath and security lanyard complete the Inyoni.
Although a petite knife, the Inyoni is comfortable to use by people with any sized hands. The cocobolo handle gives good purchase to 3rd and 4th fingers while the “gills” provide a non-slip grip for 1st finger and thumb. A ridge down the spine gives lateral support should your cut require 1st finger down the spine.
A new twist on our “Kubili” serrations, this angled configuration gives maximum efficiency for cutting fibrous material or disjointing birds or small game. Kubili is the Zulu word for ‘double’, describing the serrations cut on both sides of the cutting edge.
A hidden pin toward the tip of the handle holds it secure while double-sided VHB™ tape prevents moisture from penetrating under the wood.
The leather sheath, featuring the patent pending Slit-Cam design holds the knife securely.
Blade material - CPM S30V stainless steel
Blade hardness - 58-59 RC
Blade coating - CRK stonewash

Jereboam Mk II & Mk IV
With the swedge ground back to create the classic Bowie clip point, these two blades are functional and tough.

The Jereboam Mk II sports a 9 inch blade and will stand up to the most rugged tasks.

Neil Roberts Warrior Knife
The Neil Roberts Warrior Knife is dedicated to the memory of Petty Officer First Class Neil Roberts, killed in action during Operation Anaconda, Afghanistan 2002, and the first SEAL to lose his life in action since 1989. The SEAL community and all involved with this project honor his sacrifice.
Commissioned by retired Navy Chief Steven C. Bronson and designed by Bill Harsey with input from Chris Reeve, the Warrior knife is manufactured to the uncompromising standards for which Chris Reeve Knives is known worldwide.
A numbered edition of 184 knives is reserved for the Navy SEAL community - Neil Roberts graduated from Class #184. (Members of the SEAL community can contact Steven Bronson at ChiefBronson@aol.com for ordering details.)
Un-numbered but otherwise identical, the Neil Roberts Warrior Knife is now available for users and collectors. The engraving on each knife reads "Neil Roberts BUD/S Class 184" - for the uninitiated BUD/S stands for Basic Underwater Demolition/SEAL.
A trust fund at the Navy Federal Credit Union has been established to support the education of Neil Robert's son, Nathan. The price of each knife includes a $20 contribution to this fund.

The Pacific
Continuing the proud tradition of Chris Reeve Knives honoring elite military, the Reeve/Harsey collaboration - the Pacific - is the civilian version of a knife created to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of 1st Special Forces Group. Based in Ft. Lewis, WA, 1st Group's theatre of operations is Asia and the Pacific, so the name Pacific has been chosen to honor the home and work place of these fine soldiers.
Double row of serrations, on both sides of the blade, provides extremely aggressive cutting of fibrous material.
Glass breaker at the back of the handle is convenient and effective in an emergency.
Grooves in the micarta, mirrored on the tang, give extra grip, especially for gloved hands.
The "First Group Knife", serial numbered and engraved with the arrows associated with 1st Group's insignia, is available for purchase by men who have served in 1st Group. To ascertain eligibility and additional information, please visit: http://www.firstinasia.com

Professional Soldier
This collaboration with designer Bill Harsey was created at the request of the owners of www.professionalsoldiers.com, a discussion forum for active duty and retired Special Forces soldiers. We are proud to continue the tradition of honoring the elite military and, in this knife, we offer a discreet, no-nonsense tool.
The central cutaway reduces weight and doubles as a shackle wrench, accomodating up to a 5/8th inch shackle
The frame style knife fits snugly into a slim Kydex sheath so it is readily accessible, whether tucked into a cargo pocket or attached to a MOLLE vest.
A 36 inch nylon lanyard is threaded through holes in the handle and tied in such a way that the sound of the knife being laid on a hard surface will be muffled.
We apologize there is no picture of the sheath at this time - it is still in development.

Project I & II
The Project I (spear point blade) was designed in conjunction with Sgt. Karl Lippard, USMC and author of "The Warriors - United States Marines". The concept was to fulfill all the features which Sgt. Lippard felt were vital for a knife carried by a Marine. The 7.5" blade is perfect for chopping, digging and cutting, with sufficient weight up front for maximum strength and ideal balance. The wave serrations on the cutting edge are designed to cut easily through nylon cord or harness. The 2" cross guard has a night index which tells you by touch which direction the cutting edge is facing. The Project II has all the features of the Project I but has a traditional clip point blade.
The symmetrical leather sheath has a strap-and-snap closure that can be moved to accommodate left or right hand draw.

Skinner
"...After many years of listening to hunters (both in the USA and in Africa) telling me what the ideal skinner should be and be able to do, I was totally confused. I am not a hunter and have never skinned an animal--nor do I particularly intend to! However, after 13 years as a tool and die maker and 14 years as a knifemaker--8 of those years running concurrently--I had a good idea of what a tool should do and how it should be handled.
My Skinner may be a little unconventional but I have designed this knife to cover a wide range of tasks relating to skinning as well as around camp and even in the home. The cutting edge is rugged enough to take a lot of punishment but, if properly sharpened, will do the most delicate cutting tasks.
The name which I like for my skinner is "Ubejane" or "Mbhejane" which in Zulu (the native language of the area in South Africa where I grew up) means Rhinoceros. The Rhino is a large, powerful animal with a strong up-tilting horn--my skinner echoes those attributes!"--Chris Reeve. (1990)
The leather sheath supplied with the Skinner has a strap closure which passes from left to right around the cross guard. To ensure that the knife does not fall from the sheath should the strap become unfastened, there is a nylon stud in place above the cross guard on the right hand side.
