Bud Nealy

Bud Nealy has been making knives since 1979. Bud Nealy's principal focus has been designing and producing tactical/self-defense knives. Nealy is a member of the American Knifemakers' Guild and the American Knife and Tool Institute. Nealy says "My knives are carried daily by plain clothes police, undercover agents, swat teams, executive protectors, newspaper reporters, EMT personnal and those who must go into the unknown unescorted."

Bud Nealy uses the best Grip-Guard G-10 deep waffle-pattern surface for non-slip grip handle. His blades are made from beautiful yet tough ATS-34, high in carbon and corrosion resistant.

His multi postion carry sheaths are the ultimate in concealment versatility. Anthony Lombardo of Tactical Knives said, "Bud's standard 9 postion, patented sheath is a marvel of design. Bud's knives and sheath system are extremely practical, bare bones tools. They are exquisitely, though Spartanly, crafted of the best materials...His popularity as "The Master of Concealment" of the knifemaker'sguild is well deserved...Nealy...has brought the small economical handmade fixed blade knife back to the forefront of the personal protection and utility market."

Bud Nealys' knives are carried by Major General Aleksandr Korzhakov, head of the KGB under Boris Yeltsin.

If the stuff is going to go down, these knives are the ones to have.
