GearPatrol: This Tactical Kitchen Knife Designed by a Navy SEAL Is Overbuilt in All the Best Ways

If you’re an all-or-nothing kind of person, stop reading here — this new knife isn’t for you. You only cook? You only spend time outdoors? Totally fine — you can stick with that nice kitchen set you got for Christmas a few years back, or you can keep your trusty fixed blade on your hip as you trek, camp and hunt.

But if you’re a multi-hyphenate adventurer who has a taste for the finer things — and isn’t afraid to whip up a camp meal that competes with the Michelin star joints you love — this new collaboration between New West KnifeWorks and celebrated author and veteran Jack Carr will pique your interest in more ways than one.

The Tactical Outdoor Chef (TOC) knife is an innovative attempt to bridge the gap between the great outdoors and the culinary universe. As a former Navy SEAL sniper, Carr has extensive experience in what truly matters in a tactical situation.

He brought that knowledge to New West Knives, which has been making culinary blades for the past 26 years. Limited to a run of 300 units, this unusually named knife boasts a long list of promising attributes and materials.

Not the first person to merge the two, but it looks like a successful execution.
