In 1947, Mikhail Kalashnikov, the legendary Russian gun designer, created the AK-47 assault rifle. Eventually adopted by the Red Army in 1949, it became famous as the “People’s Rifle”. Such renown was well deserved, as it was an utterly reliable weapon; rugged, simple to operate and maintain, economical, and effective at reasonable ranges. This weapon, and all it represents became the inspiration for our heavy-duty tactical knives, the AK-47® folders. Designed by Andrew Demko, the AK-47’s® possess all of the attributes of their namesake, and perhaps a few more.
Built for hard and rugged use, the AK-47® is available in two designs. The first features a handle made with thick aircraft grade aluminum scales and the other comes with G-10 scales. Both offer a robust grip that is remarkably tough, rigid, and incomparably strong. The grip is also equipped with a unique pommel. Made of Grivory®, the pommel features two lanyard holes, and can serve as a “less than lethal” percussion tool in a self-defense situation.
