R.A.I.D.

Welcome to R.A.I.D.

R.A.I.D. was created to prioritize people using performance tools in mission-critical environments. We work hand-in-hand with operators to develop better tools for the field. Our goal is to innovate and deliver more dependable equipment for vital tasks, ensuring uncompromising performance when it matters most.

Tested in the world’s harshest environments

R.A.I.D. operates on a “user-first” approach, allowing us to continuously test products and integrate valuable feedback into the Hartley Knives lineup. This commitment ensures:

  • Users in the harshest environments get first access to test products. (Apply today)
  • Users are prioritized for new product releases. (See our Military/LEO/EMS program)
  • Users receive warranty work with minimal or no expense.

R.A.I.D.s mission:

Rapidly prototype, manufacture, test, and iterate designs utilizing advanced materials.

Raid products will periodically be listed here, from knives to parts for the mod series and experimental products.

The PIKE-T has been in the testing and reiteration phase with Naval Special Warfare and Alaska’s Arctic Airborne. Designed as an all-purpose tactical utility tool.
