AXD™
AXD™
I have completely redesigned
my AFTERMATH™ heavy-duty
tactical folder and it is now called The AXD™ (AFTERMATH
Xtreme Duty.)
The AXD™ 5.5 is the first knife in the line
and it incorporates all the design updates I’ve
done in the last two years. When I introduced the
original AFTERMATH™, its strength, size and
tough character made it an instant classic.
Now after two years of hard
use in the field, I’ve
been able to update it with multiple design, engineering
and construction improvements to send it out again
for extreme duty.
The AXD™ 5.5 prototype was carefully redesigned
in consultation with one of my customers, a S.W.A.T
officer, and it was built to provide an absolutely
secure grip even if covered with blood. This was
a tough thing to think about and design for, but
the AXD™ is built for exactly those real life
situations that we depend upon other strong rough
men to handle for us. The AXD™ is the knife
they count on when everything else fails.
The first design improvement
is in the new three-dimensionally carved handles.
I now offer you three handle options
for the AXD™
(1) The SG GRIP™ is carved into the titanium
frame of the AXD™. The deep, variegated structure
of these grooves shown in the photos below improve
your grip even in wet work and maintain a slim profile
with great strength. I’ve also placed my SURE
GRIP II™ internal grippers throughout the frame
to guarantee you’ll be able to hold on to this
knife when you need to. Look for those in the photos
above, second row, furthest on the right.
(2) The Inlaid MAXX GRIP
3D™ incorporates
some of the primary carving provided with the 3D
GROOVED GRIP™ and I add an inlaid synthetic
grip (G10 or Carbon Fiber) which I set precisely
into a pocket on the frame to hold it securely and
permanently. I deeply carve the inlays in three dimensions
to provide gripping action to all surfaces of your
hand in all positions. I also add the SURE GRIP II™ internal
grippers to this style.
I have also improved the classic
frame lock design especially for the AXD™. I have engineered
a new proprietary lock-up interface that I build
standard into every AXD™. When your AXD™ blade
is open and locked, it stays locked and there are
no situations where human strength will fold it closed
onto your fingers.
This complete overhaul makes
the AXD™ the
toughest custom made tactical folder in the world.
With an S30V® blade and the SAO™ semi-automatic
opening system, no other custom tactical folder even
comes close to it.
AXD™ Manual Or Semi-Automatic
The AXD™ is available standard as a manually
operated folder, or with the Spring Assisted Opening
SAO™ system.
The semi-automatic version,
dubbed the SAO™,
is similar to a switchblade or automatic knife, just
as fast, and legal in most states.
The AXD™ is the heavy-duty semi switchblade
you’ve been looking for, in the design package
that police and combat professionals depend on.
