FOBOS Knives

FOBOS is a veteran-owned service-disabled small business dedicated to producing hard-use tactical and survival knives for military, law enforcement, and outdoor enthusiasts. Founded with a mission to create tools that perform reliably in the most demanding field conditions, FOBOS brings real-world operational experience to every design decision.

The brand's philosophy centers on ergonomic design and premium material selection. FOBOS specializes in tactical knives and outdoor survival tools engineered specifically for professionals who depend on their equipment in critical situations. Each knife is purpose-built with input from end users who understand the consequences of gear failure in high-stakes environments.

Material quality stands at the core of FOBOS's manufacturing approach. The company utilizes premium American-made steels including CPM-3V, renowned for its exceptional toughness and edge retention, and CPM-154, prized for its corrosion resistance and ability to take a razor-sharp edge. These steel choices reflect FOBOS's commitment to creating tools that withstand extreme abuse while maintaining cutting performance.

FOBOS's product lineup focuses primarily on fixed blade knives designed for tactical applications, survival scenarios, and demanding outdoor use. Their designs emphasize functional geometry over unnecessary embellishment, with handle ergonomics that facilitate extended use without fatigue. The brand's military and law enforcement heritage is evident in every knife, from blade grinds optimized for versatility to sheath systems designed for secure carry and rapid deployment.

As a small business serving the tactical community, FOBOS maintains a focused catalog rather than chasing market trends. This specialization allows them to refine their core designs and maintain quality control standards appropriate for professional use. For users seeking American-made fixed blades built to military specifications without compromise, FOBOS delivers tools engineered for the worst-case scenario.
