Krudo Knives Inc

KRUDO Knives was founded in 2006 by Louis Krudo, with decades of experience in urban weapons and defense tactics. As an avid designer of knives, less than lethal weapons and other specialized tools, he found that traditional designs just didn’t cut it against modern threats and environments. Instead a radical new way of thinking was needed, thus KRUDO Knives was born. In 1997 Louis was reading a historical article about an Indonesian fishing and farming tool called the Karambit, this was the inspiration that started it all. Imagining how this utilitarian tool could be become a highly efficient tactical folding knife or striking tool became an obsession. After extensive designs, template creation and sleepless nights, the prototype was ready to be seen by a few trusted souls. The feedback was swift, the design was too aggressive and may not be adopted well in the industry. KRUDO Knives thinks differently, feedback such as “too aggressive” and worrying about the industry wasn’t a concern. Instead, it was understood that the design was a radical new way of thinking and those stuck in their ways simply didn’t get it. After nearly 4 years of refinement and testing, the SNAG was born and is now the flagship of the company. Looking past the hype and industrial norms, KRUDO Knives promises to never compromise on quality and design, instead we focus on creating tools that are time tested and trusted by law enforcement organizations, military personnel and civilians across the globe. When what you carry matters, carry a KRUDO.
