I'm Justin Gingrich with Gingrich
tactical innovations we started the
knife company roughly 2001 after I came
off of ten years of active duty with
units like 3rd Ranger Battalion 20
Special Forces Group and Ranger training
Brigade we specialize in high-end
tactical knives tomahawks and other
equipment we designed for companies like
511 Ka-bar and a few others in the
industry what we have here on the table
there are some of the new custom designs
that are gonna be available here at
KnifeCenter the first one is a bush
chef's knife built to do just about
anything you want to do in the woods or
in the kitchen so it's three 3/16 thick
154cm saw back blade
hopefully about six six and a half inch
long on the blade textured g10 handles
next one we've got is more of a fighting
style that's still in the bushcraft
series recurve blade done in 1095
textured g10 handles about a five five
and a half inch blade on this one next
one is more of a fighting style is the
tanto style or tanto blade two-tone g10
handles again done in 1095 then we move
to the smaller blades we've got some
neck knives coming out in different
configurations all done in 154cm
for the steel high flat grind this one
is skeletonized and stonewashed next is
the same knife configured with green and
black g10 handles and a bead blast
finish
finally in that you've got one that is
bead blast finish with tan and black g10
handles last one we get for today is the
new folder with a new locking mechanism
this one debuted a blade show this year
it's called the Delta lock it's in a
v-formation
or a v-shape I don't know if you can see
it on the camera but at the back of the
blade there are two flats in two angles
all of which are your lock face it also
serves a dual purpose it has a
protruding end which is your glass
breaker in the closed position when you
open the knife it engages the lock it
becomes a liner frame lock the liner is
all one piece so it inserts into the
back of the blade it also inserts into
the handle creating one of the strongest
lock ups on the market today this won't
be available here within the six next
sixty to ninety days titanium handles
all stainless Hardware stainless blade
thought process in general in the blades
we try to make things that are
multi-purpose we don't like single-use
items so things like the chef's blade or
the chefs are pushing rate it can be
used not just in the woods it can be
used in the kitchen too it can be used
for chopping skinning food prep the saw
back blade is there just as an added
another feature when it comes to
designing big blades or small blades it
really depends on the use of the
customer at the time because we're doing
things of it custom based the companies
we design for usually come to us and
they have a gap in their market and
they're looking for something to fill
that gap
so when 5-11 came to us they had a gap
with the big bushcraft blades the big
heavy user jet so we designed something
specifically for them to use in that
application again a multi-use tool had
more than just one application that it
was good for so the problem that I was
trying to address again we like things
are that our dual purpose so the lock
isn't
this it has the protruding glass breaker
what you see is an added feature on a
lot of new folders it also had it fixed
the issue of liner locks and/or frame
locks or any other lock on the market
really has a failed one it had a single
point of engagement on the back of the
blade that's single point engagement to
the locking mechanism so you can have
failure much easier because you only
have one spot that's engaging or doing
its job the Delta lock has no less than
4 points of exposure or 4 points of
contact at any given time so there are 4
points on the back of the blade that
engage into the lock into the lock face
and into the handle so it really took an
issue where you had one thing that could
fail took it and made it stronger the
Delta lock took almost 5 years and it
took that long just because I had the
concept but could not find the right
company to pair with to do the cads and
to make the tolerances of this lock work
the way it needed to do and we ended up
finding that two years ago with jeff
freeman of freeman knives so he helped
out a good deal with this lock and doing
all the cad program and everything
