The Team
When You Buy Our Knives,
You're Buying A Story.
A story forged through decades of experience during the Global War on Terrorism in one of the most elite military commando units in the world.
Our knives aren't designed in a boardroom or by marketers chasing trends. They are born from decades of real-world operational experience where equipment isn't measured by appearance — it is measured by whether it performs when failure is not an option. A Zero Fail Mission.
TSG Blades was officially established in March 2023, built on over three and a half decades of combined operator experience in the Navy SEAL community. Our first two designs — the Overt and the Covert — were developed over a six-year process, shaped by lessons learned across the 20-year GWOT in numerous operational environments.
Inspired by 20 Years of Military Experience
Every contour, grind, and material selection is driven by real-world operational experience — not theory. Designed by those who depended on edged tools in the harshest environments imaginable.
100% American Made
All TSG Blades products and components are sourced and assembled domestically. Built from American steel, hand-assembled in Mead, Colorado. Supporting other American small businesses is core to who we are.

Genuine Operational Insight
in Every Blade.
The result is a collection engineered for military professionals, law enforcement officers, first responders, outdoorsmen, and everyday Americans who demand equipment they can trust.
Our strategic partnerships with knife manufacturer Revo Indie Knives (Tommy Ward) and knife industry insider Chris Brooks bring over half a century of combined U.S. knife design and manufacturing experience to every blade we produce.
TSG Blades represents more than steel.
It represents discipline forged through service, lessons learned in combat, and an unwavering commitment to producing tools that perform when lives may depend on them.
We don't build knives to sit in display cases.
We build knives for those who carry the weight — no matter what your mission is.
