Innovation in Combat Knives

Each knife is hardened at 970°C, double tempered, and finished with a Cerakote firearm-grade coating. Individually sharpened on precision grinding machines, the H2HFW delivers unmatched durability, reliability, and combat effectiveness.

Based in Queensland, Australia, ZU Bladeworx specializes in high-end knives, rescue tools, and edged weapons for the Australian Defence Force, Police, and outdoor professionals. With ongoing production for the ADF under the LAND 300 contract, the company is also pursuing export opportunities with allied nations.
