SHOP CASE KNIVESThe DailyCarryCo Garuda Fixed Blade Knife gets a more tactical edge with its black coated drop point blade paired with a built-in rescue hook. The drop point profile gives you a strong, controllable tip and a generous cutting belly, while the rescue hook adds a practical edge for cutting seatbelts, cordage, or other restraints when time matters. It’s the kind of setup that feels ready for real-world work instead of just looking the part.
The blade is finished in a black coating that helps reduce glare and adds an extra layer of protection against wear and the elements. The steel choice stays focused on reliable performance—easy to sharpen, corrosion-resistant, and durable enough for repeated use. The overall geometry keeps the edge robust without turning the knife into a delicate tool you have to baby.
The handle is built for control and confidence. It draws on karambit-style ergonomics with a secure grip shape and a finger ring at the base, making it easy to keep a locked-in hold even when your hands are wet or gloved. The shape also lets you shift between grips quickly, and the ring adds a level of retention that keeps the knife from slipping during hard use.
Carry is straightforward and practical. The Garuda comes with a custom-molded Kydex sheath and a standard belt clip, so it stays close at hand without getting in the way. The rugged handle materials and no-nonsense construction make it feel like a tool you can rely on day after day, not something you’re afraid to use.
