Doug Marcaida - master of Filipino martial arts, juror on the popular show “Forged in Fire” (“Forged in Fire”). Creator of his own distinctive line of white weapons, knives that, capture the spirit of Filipino martial arts. The distinctive triangles on the Handle grips allude to the main principles of fighting in the FMA.

Karambit - a type of knife that originated in Indonesia, with roots in Malaysia and the Philippines. It is characterized by a finger ring and a sickle-shaped blade, which is characterized by great cutting efficiency. Hawkbill mimics the way an eagle's claw or a tiger's claw rips through, piercing and cutting simultaneously. Used as a working knife and for defense.

Emerson Wave (Emerson Opener) - located on the back of the Blade, Ernest Emerson's patented hook allows you to quickly open the blade when removing the knife from your pocket by hooking the hook over the edge of your pocket. Thanks to Wave, every Emerson folder equipped with this solution is the fastest knife in the world when it comes to opening speed. It's also faster than an automatic knife, as it's ready to use once you grab it.
