Full description and what we offer
Hoffner Knives was founded by Brian Hoffner, a 30-year veteran of the Houston Police Department with extensive firearms and tactical training experience. That background isn't marketing fluff—it shapes every design decision. These aren't mall ninja knives. They're purpose-built tools for people who need reliable cutting performance under stress.
The Beast series is the workhorse. You're looking at 11.88" overall, stainless drop point blades paired with ergonomic G-10 "grippy" handles. Available in black, khaki, and olive. These are heavy-duty cutters—no compromise on edge retention or handle comfort.
The Bodyguard (Hoffner 39) is a compact neck knife with black stonewash finish stainless handle. 6.13" overall. Designed for concealed carry and quick access.
The Hand Hawk (Hoffner 44) features OD green handles and performs equally well in outdoor or tactical contexts.
The WarMaster framelock (Hoffner 04) closes at 4.75" and uses black stonewashed handles. Framelock design means reliability—no springs to fail.
The Snap Part linerlock series comes in two sizes: - Hoffner 01: 4" closed, satin finish, black handles - Hoffner 25: 4.88" closed, serrated edge, OD green handles
"Hoffner Knives are crafted from the best materials, ensuring durability, sharpness, and ease of use."

440C stainless steel holds an edge well while resisting corrosion—practical for law enforcement and field use. G-10 handles don't absorb moisture and provide genuine grip, not slippery plastic.
