Details & Specs
If you're over 25 years old and you played games on your PC, you probably instantly recognize this knife. It's iconic curves are a real-world rendition of the one and only Counter Strike: Source (2004) melee weapon, the Badlands Bowie.
Featuring a full-tang construction with titanium-coated 440C Stainless steel, G10 scales, camel bone inlay, and a laser-engraved mock "hamon" just like the game knife, we spec'd it out to hold an edge and handle abuse without abusing your wallet.
It even comes with a custom-fit kydex holster and MOLLE-compatible belt clip.
"Why make a game-homage knife?"
We really do have a lot to owe these kinds of FPS games for making countless memories during our childhood/teenhood.
Many of us got into guns & gear in the first place based on the countless hours of fun we had in the game world, and counter strike holds a special place in many people's hearts for its unique gameplay loop, endlessly quotable voice lines, and the off the wall chaotic community it continues to have to this day...
The early 2000s were a special time for games like this, before many fell to the clutches of being bloated microtransaction "gacha" and season passes, even the almighty counter-strike!
We think it's fun in moderation, but you have to admit it's quite excessive these days.
So if it's at least some consolation, you'll be able to unbox a real knife instead of a bunch of pixels. In a world that's even moving away from physical game discs, it's the least we can do to rage against the dying of that light...

"Where's The Bomb?"
Our knife is inspired by the in-game model knife, sometimes dubbed the badlands bowie knife, from Counter Strike: Source (2004).
Easily one of the most influential first-person shooter games of all time, It featured a gameplay loop so good even Bin Laden had a copy of it on his confiscated PC.
Our "parody" is more of a love letter to that whole era of viral clips, late night clutch rounds and team-wiping action that spurred on the golden age of PC gaming.
