Vanguard Knives represents the latest venture from the founder of PMP Knives, bringing years of experience in oversized pocket knife design to a new line of full-size EDC folders. Since establishing PMP in 2016, the focus has shifted to creating practical pocket knives for everyday carry under the Vanguard brand, and each knife undergoes rigorous quality control and packaging in Switzerland, ensuring every piece meets exacting standards before reaching customers.
Our shelf runs the working range: the Mini Cleaver and Breaker lead the count as compact hard-cutting favorites, the Cheetah pairs gray or black titanium with Damascus and polished VG10 blade options, the Atomic and StarRunner carry M390, all covered in our knife steel guide, and the Continuum and pocket Nakiri round out the lineup, with accessories like titanium backspacers letting owners tune their carry. The customization program is what sets Vanguard apart, letting buyers configure blade finishes, handle colors, and hardware to match personal preference, so ordering one feels closer to speccing a custom than buying off the rack.
Working with established manufacturers known for precision and consistency, Vanguard delivers modern folder designs with attention to fit, finish, and action, applying lessons from years of knife development to folders that perform in real-world EDC scenarios. We stock select Vanguard models that showcase the brand's practical design and Swiss-verified quality control, customizable everyday carry backed by proven expertise, and the PMP lineage means the oversized-folder crowd already knows exactly how well this shop finishes a knife.
