Knife was crafted beautifully and with fine attention to detail. No sharp or uncomfortable edges on the handle, very smooth. Blade was sharp and looked exactly as shown and what I wanted.

I have only had the knife for 2 weeks and really appreciate its quality. I am hard on equipment. So far my defender has been up to the task. I highly recommend this company and look forward to more knives!
Great product and service! I’ll definitely be purchasing more and recommend them. If you’re on the fence about buying these blades go ahead and make the purchase. You won’t regret it.
Eddie does an amazing job. I'm very pleased with my knife. I already know that this will be a fine companion. I own many knives, and the majority sit pretty on the bench. There's only a few that are my close friends, and don't leave my side. This is now one of them. Support Real People. Support USA made. Support Yourself.
purchased the defender and the care and craftsmanship that went into it is just outstanding 100% order another knife through them most likely the tanto
Amazing knife. Looking at getting one of the tantos next
I love the blade.. It's everything I was hoping it would be! Big mahalo to you EM! I especially enjoyed the band-aid in the box!! Hahaha great touch! Worth the wait
Great communication. The knife is better looking than I thought it would be. I will buy from again.
Words cannot describe how great this knife is. This shop is AMAZING.
Legit. Exactly as described.
Love it! The quality is outstanding, weight is well balanced, functional in many ways. Well done!
I wanted a edc for belt carry. I wanted something different than the standard model, and I ask Eddie to build the defender with something different. He built this to match my Excursion package that he built (pics under the review section) for bushcrafting. The defender is worn as a edc and is very comfortable platform to wear. His handle designs are custom and fit your hand for extreme conditions.
Exceptional quality! Very well made knife with a mirror polished cutting edge, extremely sharp. Also the sheath is formed custom to the blade rather than the cookie cutter style that tend to be loose and allow the blade to jostle about. I would recommend this blade smith to anyone, especially for the price. Other blade Smith's would charge around $250 - $400 for this knife.
This blade is beautifully crafted, has excellent balance and looks like it’s going to be super durable. Working with the store owners was nothing but a pleasure I highly recommend the shop and it’s related products.
I ordered the defender from Tactical Edge, and I am more than happy with it. The look and feel are great. Great quality knife. I will be purchasing more from here.
Very nice! My husband loved it.
This thing is fantastic. It’s heavy and sturdy, the handle feels great, and the edge is beyond sharp. I love the holster, too. It supports just about any carry configuration you could think of. I don’t think I’ll ever get a factory-made fixed blade again, as this one blows any I’ve seen out of the water. Thoroughly impressed, wonderful job.

Could not ask for a better custom knife. It’s beautiful, the scales are grind and cut perfectly. Fits my hand quite comfortably. And it’s a perfect concealed match for my G43. The grommets on the kydex line up perfectly to change your belt clip for many different clips or holders. I personally run the Ulti-clip to wear it concealed. I cannot say enough positive things about this piece. It is truly a work of art, and the owner is a pleasure to deal with. You will not be disappointed.
This is my first custom knife I have ever bought and it won’t be the last. Tactical Edge makes a well crafted and beautiful knife. I could not be happier will be buying more knives in the future.
