Purpose-Built for the Unexpected
The collaboration between Toor Knives and Onward Research brings together two American brands built around a shared belief: equipment should be simple, dependable, and ready to perform when conditions are at their worst.
Toor Knives contributes its veteran-founded perspective, precision manufacturing, and experience producing hard-use knives in San Diego, California. Onward Research brings a field-informed approach to developing scalable, purpose-driven gear for people who train, prepare, and operate with intent. Both brands prioritize practical performance over unnecessary complexity, making this partnership a natural extension of their shared mission.
The TKOR-4.5 SERE was developed as a compact, mission-ready fixed blade optimized for SERE (Survival, Evasion, Resistance, Escape) operations. Designed in collaboration between Toor Knives and Onward Research, the project combines Toor’s precision U.S. manufacturing and veteran-built craftsmanship with Onward’s field-informed approach to simple, functional equipment.
That philosophy led to the development of the TKOR-4.5 SERE, an American-made fixed blade designed around the demands of Survival, Evasion, Resistance, and Escape. Compact enough for efficient carry and substantial enough for demanding field tasks, the TKOR-4.5 SERE bridges the gap between survival equipment, fieldcraft tools, and combat-ready gear.
More than a tactical knife collaboration, the TKOR-4.5 SERE represents a shared commitment to building equipment that earns its place in your kit. Every detail was developed with a clear purpose, creating a dependable survival knife for military professionals, SERE instructors, outdoorsmen, prepared citizens, and anyone who understands that survival is never theoretical.
Designed with purpose. Made in the USA. Built to move onward.
