When the Outback™ was released, it was perhaps the most powerful bowie knife you could buy without going to a blacksmith. Down Under Knives was quite pleased with its ability to pack so much cutting power into a conventionally sized blade, but of course, it was only a matter of time before someone outdid it. This got them thinking: if it was possible without being completely impractical, why haven’t they implemented it already?



After several months of design work and prototyping, Down Under Knives has done just that. The Red Rock Raptor™ design borrows elements from the legendary Kukri to provide the speed and power to cut through just about anything you need to cut through. The angle and width of the tip ensure an optimal piercing point, while the smooth convex/concave transition of the edge offers the durability of an axe and the sharpness and control of a carving knife, both right where you need them without interfering with each other.



You probably also know that with some otherwise cool bowies, kukris and machetes, you have to hold back a bit so that it doesn’t slip out of your hand. Yeah, they don’t like that either. That’s why the Down Under Knives Red Rock Raptor™ has an ergonomic handle made of 100% leather and generous hand guards on both ends. You can hammer with the pommel, stab with the tip, carve with the base of the blade and chop with the convex edge. The wide, slightly rounded hand guards protect your fingers from impact and ensure that the knife fits firmly in your hand, whatever you do. Don’t let the aggressive look fool you; this knife was built to perform as well as it looks. Down Under Knives believes that in successful design, form and function should not compete, but rather complement each other.
