Our Number 15, “UMAC,” is a nod to US soldiers during the Vietnam War, and more specifically to those serving in the MACV-SOG unit (Military Assistance Command Vietnam, Studies and Observations Group).
Crafted from VG-10 steel for its edge retention and corrosion resistance, the blade benefits from an optimized heat treatment that makes field sharpening easier.
We preserved the iconic silhouette of the Bowie-style tip paired with the curved spine—two characteristic features inherited from the historic MACV-SOG knife. The proportions, however, have been adjusted to meet the needs of modern operators and urban environments.
The blade uses a saber grind for versatility. The Bowie tip, equipped with a false edge, delivers strong penetrating capability. The Dark Stone-wash finish adds discretion and character while masking wear marks.
The handle scales are made from G10, a synthetic material known for exceptional strength, rot resistance, and outstanding temperature stability. Lightly textured for improved grip, they’re secured with our hollow BTR/Torx tubular screws, which allow the passage of cord or shock cord for enhanced retention.
The compact design of the knife, combined with an optimized handle ergonomics, forms an effective guard that ensures a secure hold even under stress, with wet hands, or while wearing gloves. The rear end features a protrusion designed for hammer or ice-pick grips during the draw. The skeletonized pommel allows for absorbing and delivering impacts (batoning, striking, glass-breaking).
The Kydex sheath is lightweight, compact, rot-proof, and stable under temperature changes. It offers multiple carry options and quick, intuitive deployment.
The carefully selected characteristics of the UMAC make it perfectly suited for both civilians and professionals, whether carried openly on a plate carrier or discreetly in the appendix position using the belt clip of your choice.
