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.

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.

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.

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.
-Brandon
Just got it today, beyond impressed with the blade!
-Brett
Just got my minuteman and absolutely love it so keep up the amazing work!!
-Ralli
Just got my blade! I couldn’t be happier! It’s quite the perfect carry blade, I’ll definitely be recommending you guys to a lot of my buddies!
-Mike
IMO this blade is a masterpiece, in regard to its design, quality and concealment! Thanks to Bill, and the Amtac Team, for this tool, and all the videos and info on the web.
-Mark
I appreciate your videos because you clearly speak from experience. People can trust your gear recommendations. My Northman still rides on my vest. Great Knife.
-Tom
Received the Northman yesterday, great knife this will be definitely my daily carry
-Adam
I think the Northman hits a sweet spot between concealability and utility, and think the size is perfect. The blade is very well designed for its purpose (dual combat/utility).
There are very few knives that have an identical trainer. I’m guessing most individuals just find a generic training knife, or have to pick from this small list. I see a lot of value in practicing with an exact replica of your actual knife, particularly one that functions with your sheaths/carry systems. Usually, these training knives cost almost $100 on their own; it really is a huge benefit that the training knife is included. I’ve found myself not only practicing with the trainer but handling and familiarizing myself with it throughout the entire day. No fear of accidentally hurting myself while developing an innate feel for the knife.
I appreciate that no cost was wasted on flowery packaging. I saw many similarly classed knives coming with near display-level packaging. Though the Northman was packaged well enough to protect the knives and was in no way inadequate, there was also no perception that I paid for some kind of collectible. This is an honest tool, with no frills driving the cost up.
The storage sheath has actually become my primary carry sheath in a static line carry method. I had to drill a hole through the kydex; I may try to install an eyelet to reinforce it. I wrapped the sheath in a length of bike tire inner tube, where I keep a ferro rod so I don’t lose the fire-starting benefit of the fire sheath. This allows me to completely conceal the knife, and the rubber tube gives the sheath a little friction to stay where I position it in my waistband.
Thanks for your assistance, and please forward my thanks to the rest of the team. I hope to one day attend a training course with Bill.

Hello,
My name is Gunner. 2 days ago, I was in a crash in which my vehicle was airborne for 50 yards and subsequently flipped 4 times. My Minuteman was in my pocket, and I used it to cut out my airbags and escape my vehicle. I was able to walk away from this with only a fractured sternum.
Thank you!
-Gunner
Hi Bill,
I’ve had the pleasure of handling this blade and trainer for a few days now, and wanted to write to let you know that you have another satisfied customer.
The attention to detail is top notch, including the design, weight, materials chosen, and the overall offering. I appreciate that no aspect was overlooked, even with the packaging, and down to the sticker on the box!
I can surmise that you inspire a high level of standard in all around you. Looking forward to the future products you make available!
-Allen
I received my Northman, SN —-, about a week ago . It is an outstanding system! The knife is quality and rugged. The attention to the design of the sheath and how it is assembled is remarkable.
Including the trainer and storage sheath was like receiving a bonus! The trainer is of quality and feels just like the knife when held.
Being able to carry a survival tool and defensive weapon discreetly everyday and everywhere I go just ramps up my confidence.
I wanted to contact you mainly to say thank you for building and delivering outstanding quality.
-John
Mr. Rapier,
I received my Northman yesterday and wanted to express my thanks for making these. I have handled hundreds of blades over my lifetime and can appreciate the thought and craftsmanship that goes into purpose driven tools.
I could immediately tell from the weight, sharpness, ergonomics, and sheath retention that this was a quality blade. I was also equally pleased with the trainer as both deploy smoothly from the sheaths. So, thank you again for providing tools such as this for people who are looking for more than your garden variety knife.
Keep producing great blades and training the right people,
-Dan
Good afternoon men,
I wanted to drop a line to you both to explain my experience with my Northman Blade from Amtac Blades.
On 24 September 2020, I got my first deer (hopefully one of many) of the Season in expanded archery. The Northman is a crucial part of my EDC but I also carry it for Archery season because of its weight and versatility. After this successful hunt I dressed the deer with my Northman, which is nothing new as I’ve done this a few times already, however, after getting the deer back to my house, I also Skinned, quartered and boned the deer so that I could let it cool. The part of this story that impressed me most was that I never had to touch up (sharpen) the blade throughout this whole process! Seriously impressive!
I appreciate you both for the men that you are and the quality of your work.
-Bret
The pocket on the back of the sheath makes it super comfortable if I have to slide it in my waist band for some reason. I was unsure about serrations at first but at this point I can not imagine the knife without them.
Thanks for making this fantastic tool. I would literally be lost without it at this point. It has gone everywhere from the kitchen, to the woods, to work, lake, ocean ETC with me and I love it.
