Testimonials

I really love your knives. I have a Dynamis Razorback and and SMR. Your knives are superior in every way. Plus yours comes with the crucial training blades and Dynamis trainers are a la carte. I do like the IWB deep concealment sheaves, so glad you offer those as an option.

Beef

I received the Magnus yesterday and it is absolutely beautiful. Literally perfect with the design. Super sharp and comfortable. Sheath design is perfect for any kind of carry. The trainer is spot on as well. Definitely pleased with my purchase and plan on making another purchase soon.

Joey

I just received the Northman X. It surpassed my expectations in every way. Handle is perfect size for my hands. I can already tell it is never going to leave my side.

Corey

Hello! First off, I’d like to say I absolutely love your knives. I have the Northman, NorthmanX, and the Minuteman and they all feel like a knife should feel in your hand. The sheath design and how the ferro rod is integrated is genius. You did a really great job.

David

Just received my minuteman, beautiful knife and carry system. Thank you

Gary

I’ve had the Magnus now for a few months, and just wanted to reach out to tell you how much I’ve enjoyed using it. This knife is easily the most well-designed tool I’ve ever had the pleasure of owning.

Bradley

I just received my Northman, and it is exquisitely designed. I’ve been collecting knives for 35+ years, and this is no doubt one of the most thoughtfully designed blades I own. Amazingly, the care and detail of the sheath design is equal to the blade itself.

Roger

After spending some time in the Sayoc community, I’ve worked with your blades on a regular basis. They are phenomenal! Thank you for creating such high quality and reliable gear.

Max

Thank you so much y’all have been great to deal with and the knife (and sheath) are simply amazing.

Our Story

Experience Driven Design

Bill Rapier is the owner and creator of Amtac Blades. Bill’s military and combatives experience includes: a duty assignment of several years at SEAL Team 3, and over 14 years at Naval Special Warfare Development Group. Positions held include assaulter, breacher, sniper, team leader, troop chief, and military working dog department senior enlisted adviser. Bill is a BJJ Black Belt under Gustavo Machado, he has trained with Sayoc Kali and Atienza Kali since 2005 and has always been an avid shooter and combatives student.

Unlike most knife manufacturers, Bill’s decades of real life combat experience was the driving force to develop sturdy, purpose built blades that perform under pressure.

Our systematic approach to all things pistol, combatives, and blades related led us to create the Amtac Blades lineup. Each knife is purpose built for heavy use, daily life, and combatives.

The Northman Beginnings

Amtac Blades started as a conversation between myself and my friend the “Northman”. I wanted a fixed blade knife that would fit in my front pocket to replace the folding knife that was currently filling the role of my cutting tool.

We talked for a while and then a few weeks later a knife showed up in the mail. Over the next year and a half, we continued to test, modify, and refine until we had something that met my initial vision. The Amtac Blades Northman.
