Mr. Blade, a Russian premium EDC knife and tactical knife brand, was founded in 2015 in Moscow by Alexey "Mr. Blade" (real name Alexey Mikhailov), a passionate knife collector, reviewer, and YouTuber
Alexey began his journey in the mid-2000s as a knife enthusiast, amassing a large collection and gaining fame through detailed YouTube reviews (channel "Mr. Blade") focusing on Russian and international makers. Frustrated by limited high-quality domestic options, he decided to create his own line emphasizing modern design, premium materials, and affordability
The brand debuted in 2016 with the first models like Mr. Blade fixed blades and folders, quickly gaining popularity among Russian knife enthusiasts for innovative grinds, ergonomic handles, and value. Key early hits included the Mr. Blade Grizzly, Vostok, and Taiga series
Production is outsourced to top manufacturers in China (with strict QC), using steels like D2, AUS-8, 9Cr18MoV, VG-10, and M390. By 2020, Mr. Blade expanded into collaborations, limited editions, and accessories, becoming one of Russia's most recognized brands
Today, Mr. Blade remains independent, synonymous with bold aesthetics, reliable performance, and community-driven innovation in EDC knives, tactical folders, and bushcraft blades—trusted by collectors and users across Russia and internationally
