| I caught myself a Grizzly at a very fair price on one of the well-known knife retail sites...& I love it. |
SCAR Blades is a very young, family-owned company out of Idaho, USA. I get excited about new knife companies emerging, because the industry is growing all the time. It's sort of fun to guess at a company's intentions, & then watch what happens as they become more well-known. Is a new company huffing & puffing "Cold Steel" style, about their products? (Don't get me wrong, I own LOTS of Cold Steel, their marketing is just silly). Or are they the real deal? SCAR Blades, brainchild of the Radford brothers, seems to be the real deal indeed! These are thick, military/police grade knives built for a beating, working knives, you know what I mean. These are US made, purpose built blades.
After checking out SCAR's website, I checked around, & my favorite retail knife site was seemingly one of a small handful of sites carrying them. I took a chance. I got my SCAR Grizzly today, & I have to say...really well done. Everything you'd expect from say, another great Idaho firm, Tops Knives USA, but, in my opinion, priced a bit more fairly...but similarly constructed. The sheath system is great, the design is great, the compact size is great. I am seriously looking forward to putting this knife through its paces. Look for my review in a few weeks, & check these guys out. I'll be carrying my Grizzly on the belt, & just dropped into the side pocket of my Ranger pants, to see what my carry preference will be. Small batch production, family owned & operated, USA made. Can't go wrong.

I really hope there's room in the knife market for small, family run companies. Very soon there's gonna be a new one opening up in Virginia if everything goes well. I'll keep you posted
I just order the SCAR Crusader this past Friday. I am very excited to comapare it to the TOPS Knives I own. (Smoke Jumper, FireStrike 46) It is next to impossible to find a SCAR Blade review. Once I receive the new knife I will post a review of the Crusader.
Dropthe Hammer, Cool yeah sorry I haven't had time to hash out a full review for this one, I can definitely say, it's well worth my $75 dollars or so, & that I'd definitely buy another SCAR knife next time I'm in the market for a fixed blade. If you're on facebook, feel free to post your impressions of your SCAR on our wall, hell, even put pix up there if you want, & let us know how you like it. I really dig my Grizzly because it's very compact.
