M3 Tactical Tech

M3 Tactical Tech is a Phoenix, Arizona-based manufacturer founded in 2017 by Kevin Moore, a U.S. Air Force Security Forces veteran who channeled his military experience into creating purpose-built tactical tools. The company has quickly established itself in the defensive knife market by focusing on military and law enforcement tested products designed for real-world tactical applications.

The brand specializes in a comprehensive range of tactical cutting tools, including fixed blade knives, folding knives, OTF automatic knives, tomahawks, maces, and non-metallic self-defense gear. This diverse product lineup reflects M3 Tactical Tech's commitment to providing complete defensive solutions beyond traditional edged weapons. Their offerings also extend to custom firearm parts and kydex sheath solutions, positioning them as a full-spectrum tactical gear provider.

M3 Tactical Tech distinguishes itself through its material choices and manufacturing processes. The company utilizes premium blade steels including CPM 3V, known for exceptional toughness, and M390, prized for its edge retention and corrosion resistance. To maximize performance, their products undergo cryogenic heat treatment by Peters Heat Treat, a process that enhances blade durability and edge-holding capabilities. Models like the CCT feature G-10 handles and tactical design elements that prioritize functionality in demanding situations.

The company's veteran-led approach emphasizes practical design over gimmicks, with each product engineered to meet the rigorous demands of professional users while remaining accessible to civilians seeking reliable defensive tools. M3 Tactical Tech's knives are available through specialty retailers and have gained recognition within the tactical knife community for their robust construction and mission-focused design philosophy. While still a relatively young manufacturer, M3 Tactical Tech continues to expand its product line while maintaining its commitment to American-made tactical excellence.
