Today, we stand united in pride and remembrance, honouring the courage, service, and sacrifice of our Anzacs. With gratitude, we acknowledge all who have served, past and present, in defence of Australia.

“They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old;
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.”

The COVERT 01 is built for confident control, pairing a precision 3D-machined G10 handle with a stainless steel–lined frame for secure, stable grip in any condition.

A liner lock sits at its core, reinforced by a discreet spine-mounted safety. As the hand settles into the choils and jimping, the safety engages naturally - strengthening the lock and reducing the risk of accidental disengagement under load.

To close, draw the safety rearward to release the liner lock, allowing smooth, controlled blade closure.

The result is intuitive ergonomics combined with enhanced mechanical security—confidence exactly when it matters.

The COVERT 01 arrives razor sharp, featuring a refined spear point blade precision-ground from USA-made CPM S35VN stainless steel, a steel chosen for its exceptional balance of edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance.

The knife is delivered with a deliberately firm, controlled action, reinforcing reliability and mechanical confidence. For those who prefer a faster deployment, the action can be fine-tuned via the Torx-adjustable pivot, allowing the user to tailor the feel to their preference.

Precision-machined locking surfaces and carefully finished internal components ensure a smooth, decisive opening and a secure, confident lockup, whether the blade is fully deployed or returned to the closed position.

The COVERT 01 is engineered for confident control, featuring a precision 3D-machined G10 handle paired with a stainless-steel lined frame. This construction delivers exceptional grip security, ensuring stability in the hand whether in active use or during everyday carry.

At the heart of the design is a liner lock reinforced by an external safety mechanism, discreetly integrated along the spine of the handle. As the hand naturally settles into the finger choils and jimping, the safety engages intuitively, reinforcing the lock and preventing accidental disengagement during demanding use or dynamic movement.

When it’s time to close the blade, the safety can be smoothly disengaged by drawing the lever rearward, away from the blade, allowing the liner lock to be released for deliberate, controlled closure.

The result is a system that combines intuitive ergonomics with enhanced mechanical security, delivering confidence exactly when it matters.
