Retired Sergeant Major; Darrin Sirois channeled experience from 25 years of active duty into the creation of his original design. The knife world loved it. Then; renowned expert; Chris Williams made several small suggestions. The revisions boosted the SiWi  compact tactical fixed blade into a league all its own. This is collaboration at its finest.If there s one thing that Darrin Sirois has learned from his time overseas; it s that if a tool can t endure some of the most extreme conditions imaginable; it s not worth having on hand. So when he was in his Fayetteville; North Carolina shop; designing the knife that was to later become the SiWi ; his mission was singular: make it last. Then Chris Williams stepped in. He s a master of aesthetic; and with several small tweaks; together they elevated the SiWi  to a design force to be reckoned with and gave it a name that reflects the collaborative process. Match made.This mission-ready fixed blade is a compact powerhouse. Though that sounds like a paradox; the proof is in the incredibly stout modified drop point SK5 carbon steel blade. Finished with a non-reflective and highly resistant black-powder coat; it s built to last; a quality that s equally as evident in its unique G10 handles. The handles match the 3.3” blade in its compact-yet-stout capacity with texture for a strong grip even in the grittiest conditions. The subte jimping on the back spine finishes the look and feel. Finally; the glass-reinforced nylon sheath stands up to its counterpoint when it comes to utility with many different carry options.When two great minds converge to create a knife; you know it s going to be good�the SiWi  far exceeds expectation.\u003cb\u003eAbout the Forged By War program\u003c\/b\u003eIn 2013; Ryan Johnson of RMJ Tactical; designer of elite; military; tactical tomahawks; approached CRKT with the news that he had been working with a few combat veterans that had returned from war with varying degrees of post-traumatic stress (PTS). To help work through their challenges; they have been designing and forging steel into custom tools. Drawing from their experience earned in combat situations; they have been creating tools they wished they had available to them in the battlefield. CRKT cares deeply about our returning veterans and we saw a way to give back to the community that created them. In 2016; we launched the Forged By War program. These are mission ready tools; designed by veterans; with a portion of the proceeds donated to the veterans' charity of choice.
