I think most people that are into EDC knives have heard of or at least seen at least one episode of Forged in Fire by now.
There is generally a lot of talent in one rom on that show. Jason Knight is one of those talents, he won the first season and went on to become a judge on the show. That speaks volumes.
The knife we are covering today is one of Jason’s designs, the V2 Ultra Kukri folder. It really is a sick flipper with a titanium frame lock and badass N690steel Kukri blade. The blade is available in either a black or stonewashed finish.

JASON KNIGHT AND AJ SINGH ARE KNIGHT ELEMENTS:
Knight Elements is a revolutionary collaboration bringing the vast experience from world renowned Knifemaker Jason Knight together with the enthusiasm & entrepreneurial spirit of AJ Singh from Tactical Elements. Together, our goal is to bring Jason Knight designs that are of the highest production quality and make them accessible to the everyday enthusiast.
Jason Knight’s passion for knives started from his childhood, inspired by stories his father read to him, the costumes his mother made him, and all of his adventures in the forests of his home. After attending the Bill Moran School of Bladesmithing in 2001, he received the rank of American Bladesmithing Society Mastersmith along with the B.R. Hughes Award for the best knife by a master smith candidate. Most recently, Jason was a judge on the History Channel’s “Forged in Fire” after winning the competition in the first season.
AJ’s love for all things with an edge started very early on from an old set of kitchen knives. He was the only kid in his family that had a real love of all things with an edge and pew pew gear. Still to this day at family gatherings there are stories of how he would not leave a toy store without getting either a toy gun or some type of ninja knife/sword. Many years have passed, and that enthusiasm has turned into a lifelong obsession of representing and creating gear for all walks of life.
