Kolakowski Vanguard Stinger Tactical Neck Knives | OSS-Inspired Precision Media
Published: 1 week ago
Compact. Concealable. Collectible.
In this video, Les Robertson takes a closer look at Rafal Kolakowski’s Vanguard Stinger Tactical Neck Knives. Two compact daggers inspired by the legendary OSS (Office of Strategic Services) design created for covert self-defense. These knives combine classic WWII heritage with modern materials and craftsmanship, making them must-haves for serious collectors and everyday tactical users alike.
Both models, the Vanguard Stinger SS (Satin finish, Carbon Fiber handle) and the Vanguard OD Green Stinger (Black Cerakote, OD Green G-10 handle), deliver outstanding control and strength in a minimalist 3-inch design. The unique thumb-hole handle gives a secure, natural grip, while the concave grind and fuller lighten the blade and increase its structural integrity.
Each knife includes a custom multi-position Kydex sheath with a ball-bearing breakaway chain, allowing for versatile neck or gear carry.
Why You'll Love the Vanguard Stinger:
- OSS-inspired design: discreet, practical, historically rooted
- Full-tang 80CrV2 construction for exceptional durability
- Ergonomic thumb-hole handle for enhanced grip and control
- Lighter, stronger blade thanks to the fuller and concave grind
