  • About pizza and precision - The New Rig Archer 

     Sometimes a great idea doesn't start in the meeting room, but with a simple pizza. That's exactly how the Archer was born. In 2022, at a knife trade fair, the team from Tactile Knife Co. was tired and hungry after a long day - a dangerous combination. So a few people got together to share a meal. One of them was TJ Schwarz, a knifemaker and designer from Boise, Idaho. After the first drink, it was clear: something was brewing! The timing couldn't have been better. With new machinery and an expanded workshop, Tactile Knife Co. was ready for a “halo” project - a knife that would push the team and technology to their limits. And so the idea for the Archer was born.

     The drop-point MagnaCut blade offers an ideal balance of edge retention, toughness and corrosion resistance. The flat grind ensures a fine cutting edge that enables clean, controlled work. Thanks to the stonewash finish, the blade remains resistant to scratches. The handle scales? Titanium, of course, and this time with an even more spectacular milling pattern. The deep grooves are a tribute to modern CNC technology, without which these millings would not be possible. 

     The ball-bearing blade opens smoothly via the flipper, while the titanium frame lock with steel insert reliably locks it in place. After all, the fun of playing should not be neglected! The Archer is the result of hunger, pizza, good company and a lot of technical sophistication. 

    If you're looking for a sleek, functional design with first-class workmanship and love knives made in America, you'll find it here. And to be honest: good knife ideas rarely come from salad.

    Warning / Safety Notice:

    Risk of cuts: The most common hazard when using knives is the risk of cuts. Sharp blades can easily penetrate skin and tissue.

    Blade slippage: Improper handling or applying excessive force may cause the knife to slip, leading to uncontrolled movements and potential injury.

    Injuries from falling knives: Knives should never be left unsecured or placed near the edge of tables or work surfaces, as they may fall and cause injury.

    Dull blades: Dull knives pose a higher risk of injury, as they require more force and are more likely to slip. Knives should therefore be sharpened regularly and properly.

    Improper use: Using a knife for purposes other than its intended use (e.g. as a prying tool) can damage the blade and may result in accidents.
