Why Ek?

There are plenty of attractive knives out there -- but how many have been refined over 67 years of military experience and tested and proven in mortal combat? Ek Commando Knives, famous since 1941, have been battle proven in WWII, Korea, Vietnam, the Gulf War, Afghanistan and Iraq. We are proud to be the living link continuing the tradition that dates back to the days of John Ek, himself, in 1941.

John once said: "A good knife can save a life." And he backed it up by making good knives. Like old wine, Ek knives have gotten even better over the years, which you can discover for yourself. Our motto is "Constant Improvement", using the best materials and precision craftsmanship.

Some of our staff have been working with Ek knives for over a quarter century. Here, we are interested in quality, not quantity. By contrast, knives made in quantity can only be built to a certain lower standard, constantly monitored by cost accountants. We have no bean counters here!

It is interesting -- and significant -- to note that more than half of our orders come from men who have owned, or who currently own, an Ek Commando Knife. Indeed, a Marine combat veteran (an Ek owner for 40 years) recently told us, "I am going to call the President and tell him all of our troops going to the desert should have an Ek -- they're the best out there!"

When you order, you do so without risk; satisfaction is guaranteed or return in 30 days for a full refund. We accept VISA, MasterCard, American Express and Discover Card, and you can order on our web site or by phone, fax, or e-mail. Most orders ship out of here within four to six weeks. If you are a U.S. military serviceman, let us know, so you will go to the head of the line!

If you don't already own an Ek, join the ranks of combat troops who do.

And always remember: "A good knife can save a life."
