Since it was founded in 1998, the Masters of Defense (MOD) knife company has blazed a trail through the tactical knife world, earning two Knife-of-the-Year Awards at the prestigious International Blade Show in its short six-year history and quickly establishing itself as an industry leader. Since joining BlackHawk Products Group in 2003, MOD has, with the help of BlackHawk’s extensive manufacturing and dealer network, expanded its production and availability. However, to be absolutely sure that the right high-quality tools are reaching all the right people, we’re expanding our tactical knife production even further to create BlackHawk! Blades.
