With the huge success of the Hoffner Folding Knife, the next logical step was to engineer fixed blades using the same "Rear Grip" and "Pivot Index" operating systems. This way the operator uses the same expert reflex motor and muscle memory skills regardless of folder or fixed blade. They all go together. Hoffner Beast - This is one big, heavy, radical hunk of steel, with a 5/16" full tang spine! This knife is a specialty tool for first responders, rescuers, adventurists and survivalists. It does it all, as a veteran cop and active shooter instructor I know what is needed, so I built it! The Beast is an indestructible knife that will cut, penetrate, pry, hammer, chop, trench, baton, break, rake, smash, slash, crash, & trash all in its path. All this and its balanced enough to handle like a knife. The Beast is truly an outside the box knife and you are going to love it. Hoffners Fixed Blades come with a stonewash black 440c stainless steel full tang blades with your choice of G10 handle and matching Kydex sheath in black, khaki, or olive green.
