"Tank" Todd Knife

Geoff "Tank" Todd is the world's foremost military Master Instructor of European Close Combat and lives in New Zealand. Tank has years of experience in close combat and knife design and this range of knives is the culmination of a combined effort between ourselves and Tank.

The Todd range of knives has been carefully designed, developed and tested to incorporate the most up-to-date features and design aspects to enhance usage and extend capabilities.

The knives are double-edged with rope cutting serrations and come with a tactical sheath designed to attach to the latest tactical vests and webbing.

The knife is made of French steel, British handgrips and American coating with the nylon sheaths being made by Price Western who have over 30 year’s experience producing high quality security and military products. 

No time or effort has been spared in this combined project by a group of committed experts in their respective fields. The blade material is supplied from Bonpertuis, a specialist French steel maker. It is 420 stainless steel with 13/14 chrome and 0.5 Molybdenum, which helps reduce rusting.

The steel is hardened to HRC 55 and the blade coated with Fluoralon BP5505 for increased corrosion resistance. The grips are made from a unique blend of glass filled poly and rubber with thumb groove and side ridges for extra grip. We bring together all of these properties manufacturing a unique knife that will serve its owner well for many years.

These knives are used by police and Special Forces around the world and have been described by collectors as revolutionary in their design and excellent in their materials and manufacture.
