DESERT FOXBoris Manasherov is an engineer by education and profession and he has always been deeply passionate about knives and martial arts.

Having started training in the Israeli martial art of Krav Maga in 1973, in 1985 he became an instructor of Israeli Special Forces and covered

such role for many years. Over the years he has learned other Martial Arts techniques such as Jujutsu and Arnis/Silat.

Since a very young age, engaged in cruisers and navigation as a hobby sport

His experience as martial artist led him to develop a unique style of knifemaking: he started making knives guided by his father in 1976

and his designs are always inspired both by engineering principles and by military combat doctrines. In 2005 he was certified Master Gunsmith.
