Tell us a little about your background and interest in survival skills.
My interest in survival skills peaked while working close protection. Most of the work was done in major metropolitan areas and because of many of the locations, I found myself poorly armed due to local law or company policy. Being a good driver and having soft skills such as interpersonal communication ended up being more valuable than the equipment I was carrying. I did, however, spend much of my downtime scheming how to carry items to save myself or the client while not drawing unwanted attention. These ideas ended up becoming the foundation for my brand, Black Triangle.
What's your knife of choice?
Five years and multiple modifications later, and we have the Black Triangle Midnight Creeper MK1 Mod2, my favorite knife to carry. It is a 7-inch-long fixed nonmetallic knife made from G-10. The handle is wrapped in gutted, epoxied paracord for a confident grip. The knife, sheath, and hardware are all 100-percent metal-free. G-10 knives do have their limitations compared to steel, but this is a fighting knife that has been proven in both controlled testing and out in the real world. It can simply go a lot of places where steel knives cannot.
