Advanced Tactical Folders

Allen Elishewitz is a Texas knifemaker who became interested in knives at a very young age. His many years of training in the different martial arts, along with his experiences as a Recon Marine, have given Allen the perfect background to design both defense and utility knives.

Allen started making knives part time while he was in college studying Criminal Justice and Fine Arts, and he decided to become a full time knifemaker after graduating. He’s been making knives since 1988, constantly researching, refining, and developing the craft.

In this video Allen builds an advanced tactical folder from start to finish using advanced tools and techniques. If you want to know how Allen builds his knives from day to day, this is the video that shows it. This video focuses on the building process and does not cover pattern design.

• Using a Lapmaster 20
• Using a Deckel Pantograph

• Milling the Lock and Spacer
