Brous Recluse Knives are a testament to the fusion of innovative knife-making techniques and bold, functional design. Known for their sleek aesthetics, superior performance, and dependable build, these knives embody the vision of Jason Brous — a designer who blends tactical utility with modern style. Built for collectors, professionals, and everyday carriers who demand exceptional cutting tools, the Recluse series demonstrates that premium materials and thoughtful ergonomics can elevate a knife into a precision instrument.

The Brous Recluse lineup is centered around the reverse tanto blade, a shape that offers a reinforced tip for strength, exceptional piercing capability, and a straight cutting edge for controlled slicing. Made from high-performance D2 tool steel, these blades deliver outstanding edge retention and durability, making them well-suited for everyday tasks, heavy-duty work, and tactical applications. Each knife is equipped with a framelock mechanism for secure blade engagement, ensuring reliable performance in demanding conditions.

The handles in the Recluse series are crafted from lightweight aluminum and elevated with carbon fiber inlays, providing a balance of strength, comfort, and style. The combination of metal and carbon fiber not only reduces weight but also gives each knife a high-end, distinctive appearance. With a streamlined profile and ergonomic shaping, these knives offer a comfortable and secure grip, whether in gloved or bare hands. Each model also features an extended tang for easy one-handed operation and a pocket clip for convenient carry.
