Joshua Swanagon’s C.U.T. 4.0 (Combat Utility Tool) is a unique blend of martial arts functionality and practical outdoor utility. Drawing from his experience with karambits and his passion for the outdoors, Swanagon designed this ring-style knife to serve both combative and field tasks effectively. The knife features a curved handle that provides comfort during combat, paired with a traditional drop point blade profile ideal for utility work. Its aggressive tip enhances penetration, making it effective against body armor and heavy clothing, while still being suitable for drilling tasks in the field. Originally intended for professional personnel, the C.U.T. 4.0 also appeals to civilians and martial artists seeking a versatile EDC knife. With a background in survival training across diverse environments and experience as a self-defense instructor and knife expert, Swanagon brings a wealth of knowledge to this innovative design.
