About Defiant7: While the name Defiant7 may be new and unfamiliar, the guys behind it all are well known to the custom knife world: Les George and Chad Nichols. Les George has a long established reputation as a custom knife maker, designer, and machining ninja. Aside from his custom work, Les has been doing in house production versions of his designs the past several years with the crazy popular VECP, ESR, Talos, etc. Chad Nichols has been the guy pushing the boundaries of materials with his stainless damascus and mokuti under the Nichols Damascus banner. What is not as widely known is that Chad works quite a bit behind the scenes with custom knife makers to get their designs into a production format. Defiant7 is the cumulation of Les and Chad's experience, skills, and passion for craftsmanship. They wanted to start a company that was not a 'company', but rather a sandbox where they were free to create and produce their knives on their terms.
About the Clutch: The Clutch is a sleek auto designed by Matt Martin of Vehement Knives. With a lightning fast and snappy action, and easy to carry the Clutch is a perfect choice for an everyday carry folder. It is not a big beefy tactical folder. It is not a dainty "gent-tac" but has just the right mixture of elements to be a carry knife with just a bit of "cool guy". The clip point profile blade is great all around profile for whatever tasks are at hand. The aluminum handle features a hard coat anodized finish and diamond textured milling for a comfortable and secure grip. A tumbled pocket clip keeps everything in place.
The Blade: Clip point blade profile with a wear hiding stonewashed finish.
The Frame: Contoured hard coat anodized frame with satin hardware, diamond texturing on the show scale, and a tumbled titanium pocket clip.
