The Tactile Knife Co. Redhawk is the second design by our own Taylor Martin. 

After years of carrying fixed blades day in and day out, he found that none of the usual suspects quite fit the bill. There were plenty of great options—but never the one. So he set out to build it.

The result is the Redhawk: a no-frills, medium-sized fixed blade built for everyday use. Measuring just under 7 inches overall, it features a continuous curve throughout the handle and blade, designed to naturally drive into cuts. The reverse tanto (or modified sheepsfoot) blade offers a tall profile with a subtle belly and 0.12-inch stock, striking a rare balance between slicing performance and overall strength.

Up front, a scalloped section on the handle allows for a secure pinch grip, giving the user more control in finer tasks. And true to Taylor’s long-held belief about what makes a fixed blade feel right in the hand, the Redhawk pairs a full-size handle with a slightly undersized blade—resulting in a tool that’s compact, capable, and comfortable in daily carry.
