Fred Perrin is a former member of the French Special Forces, and well known as a close combat instructor. His knife concepts are simple yet effective. Many of his models are carried as back-up knives for professional users, and are widely accepted due to their reliability. These models feature rugged full tang construction, and are crafted of 440C stainless steel, which provides outstanding edge retention. All knives are based on the same philosophy: 100% carry comfort and extremely safe handling in various situations, even when under stress or in emergency situations.
