Obscura

The Obscura takes our best selling model, The Shrike, and turns it into something a little different. Covert, or NPE tools are nothing new these days, and behind the obvious covert nature of the Shrike Obscura it has other more conventional benefits too.

First its extremely light weight. The Obscura weighs almost nothing having been made from 5mm thick G10. This material is more commonly used as handle scales on knives, but its properties lend it to “last ditch” tools like this. The “Blade” unlike a traditional steel blade in that it typically doesn’t hold a sharp edge for very long, but can definitely still cut. Although its mainly going to be used for stabbing – and that it does plenty well enough. The “blade” has been ground with a single asymmetric bevel, ensuring the point is robust enough to penetrate organic mediums, as well as some of the other typical material you may encounter in a defensive situation, such as clothing.

The handle has been given a simple, yet still very elegant Tsukamaki wrap with black silk ito, which is resin sealed. This keeps it light, but is still extremely grippy and comfortable in hand. The Obscura has been finished with a non-metallic kydex sheath, which makes use of a static line cord for accessing.

The Obscura is produced in batches periodically. You can order one directly from us via the contact form if stock is currently available. You can also follow us on Instagram or Facebook for notifications of future drops.

This is a great lightweight and low-cost option for a defensive EDC tool.
