"Every great knife has history.
Ours is forged from it."
Origin Story
In March 2022, two Russian Mi-35 helicopters were shot down by the Ukrainian military near Kyiv. Months later, Serhii Ivin, Founder of Fadir Tools recovered the wreckage and saw an opportunity to create something extraordinary. After examining the metal, we decided to forge it into knives, transforming a piece of history into legendary blades.
The Craftsmanship
- It all starts with cutting the knife shape out of the steel of a downed helicopter. The raw metal is carefully finished and drilled in preparation for attaching the handle.
- Next comes the heat treatment. The blade is heated, cleaned of old paint and hardened. This process ensures that the blade can withstand the toughest challenges.
- In our woodshop, the handle is crafted from sturdy ash wood. Shaped and sanded to perfection, each handle is designed to fit comfortably in the hand. A final coat of lacquer ensures durability and protection.
Through this careful process, we transform the fragments of war into instruments of peace.
