Two years ago, a Navy SEAL Platoon prepared for deployment. Anticipating operations in both permissive and non-permissive environments, they came to us looking for a blade they could bet their lives on—something that was small enough to conceal but tough enough to withstand the brutal rigors of life in the field. Their tool of choice was our F3 EDC Fixed Blade.
Following their successful deployment, the SEALs were overly impressed by the corrosion resistance, edge retention and strength of the knife. They tried to push the F3 to its limits, but never found them. One operator even remarked "I didn't have to sharpen it once and I beat the crap out of this thing".
Now, having been battle tested and Navy SEAL approved, the F3 is dropping in tactical tones, ready to blend seamlessly into any environment. When the mission calls for unwavering performance, the F3 is the compact, overbuilt blade you can always rely on.
This limited edition production run of the F3 EDC Fixed Blade offers several unique finish combinations, never before seen on a Reiff Knife. We've paired black DLC or FDE PVD coated MagnaCut blades with black G10 or OD green canvas micarta handle scales. They are finished off with a dynamic ambidexstrous kydex sheath system that allows you to carry your way.
PVD coatings, like DLC, are harder and tougher than painted coatings, while being food safe and offering an additional layer of corrosion protection for those adventures that could turn salty. Match these tactical tones with your favorite outdoor or bugout kit for an upgraded astethic with practical applications.
