The Maverick: An American Workhorse

The Maverick by Tactile Knife Co. is more than just a knife—it’s a culmination of bold ideas, innovative design, and relentless attention to detail. Conceived in early 2022 through a collaboration with Richard Rogers, the Maverick represents a fusion of clean aesthetics, cutting-edge engineering, and robust functionality.

When Richard and his wife Sally visited our shop, they saw firsthand what sets us apart: a young(ish) team dedicated to building everything in-house, leveraging the best minds and equipment in the industry, and bringing pride and precision to every knife we produce. The result? A knife that’s as innovative as it is reliable, built to handle whatever life throws at you.

Refined Design, Functional Build
At first glance, the Maverick might look like “just another crossbar lock knife,” but don’t let its simplicity fool you. Every detail has been painstakingly refined, from the textured pivot and custom washers to the stronger spring for smoother, dirt-resistant action. Richard’s signature tri-lobe design has been seamlessly integrated into our design language, offering a modern, minimalist look that’s distinctly his.

Premium Materials, American Made
The Maverick is crafted from premium materials for unmatched performance and durability. Its 3.5-inch MagnaCut blade, hardened to 63-64 HRC, provides exceptional edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance. Lightweight orange G-10 scales ensure a comfortable grip and everyday usability, while titanium hardware and a custom-milled titanium pocket clip add strength and style. With an overall weight of just 2.8 ounces, the Maverick is a powerhouse in a featherweight package.

Built to Work, Built to Last
Designed to excel in the toughest conditions, the Maverick’s silky-smooth action and robust construction make it the ideal companion for work or everyday carry. This knife isn’t just about looking good—it’s built to perform, combining Richard Rogers’ timeless design aesthetic with Tactile Knife Co.’s unwavering commitment to precision and quality.
