The Archer: The Ultimate Tribute to CNC Machined Knives

From day one at Tactile Knife Company, we dreamed of creating the ultimate knife—one that showcased the full capabilities of our team and equipment. After expanding our shop and upgrading our tools, we knew it was time for a "halo" project to push our processes to the limit. That’s when the Archer was born.

At a trade show in 2022, we connected with renowned designer TJ Schwarz over pizza, and the collaboration was set in motion. Known for his innovative work with some of the biggest names in the knife world, TJ brought his vision and expertise to this project. Together, we created the Archer—a true "Hyper Knife" that represents the pinnacle of modern knife-making and precision machining.

Note from Lone Star Knife & Supply

I, Chris, love this knife so much. I carry a debut version and own three total. Absolute knock-out of a knife. Here are a few videos of the Archer:

What Is a Hyper Knife?
A Hyper Knife pushes the boundaries of modern CNC machining, adding fine details and elevated craftsmanship to achieve unparalleled quality. Every piece of the Archer is painstakingly machined and finished in-house at our Dallas, Texas facility, where we spared no expense to ensure every detail is perfect.

Built for Performance and Precision
The Archer isn’t just a knife—it’s a work of art. From its MagnaCut blade, hardened to 63-64 HRC for exceptional edge retention and durability, to its Zirblast-finished titanium scales, every component is crafted to perfection. With a matte-finished blade, 3D-milled titanium pocket clip, and X-Tone clip and backspacer, the Archer is a knife that combines style, strength, and functionality.

Each knife features T8 custom titanium hardware and a 14C28N lock insert, ensuring a rock-solid lockup and smooth operation. The Archer measures 8.1" in overall length, with a 3.4" blade, and weighs 4.5 oz—making it the ideal size for everyday carry while maintaining a commanding presence in hand.

Exclusively Crafted, One Batch at a Time
The time and energy required to craft the Archer means production is limited to small batches, released about once a month. If the Archer you’re looking for is sold out, you can use the "Notify Me When Available" feature to get an email as soon as it’s back in stock.
