Anyone familiar with the FMA called Silat?

We just got back from an incredible trip to El Salvador, and one of the highlights was visiting a blade manufacturer that absolutely blew our minds. This isn’t a small workshop. We’re talking about a company with over 860 employees! A world-class operation with massive forges, CNC machines, woodworking facilities, and enough equipment to make any gear nerd weak in the knees. Of all things, their specialty is Machetes. They produce over 500,000 machetes every month and ship products all over the world. What impressed us most wasn’t the machinery—it was the people. From the moment we arrived, they treated us like family. They rolled out the red carpet, gave us a full tour of the facility, and welcomed us with incredible hospitality. And, I’ve never seen workers BANGING out product like that before. It was mesmerizing. You could also tell everyone was honored to be there as part of the team as compared to the local market, these are highly sought after, high paying jobs. Then came the dangerous part… They took us into their showroom. Imagine every blade, tool, and weapon concept you can think of, all sitting there waiting to be picked up. We felt like kids in a candy store. Beyond their specialty in Machetes, they can produce Axes, Spears, Yari, Naginata, Fixed Blades, Throwing Knives, Spikes, Swords, Slingshots… Pretty much anything we can dream up! And, they can source any high quality steel we specify. Now comes the hard part: What should we make first? A live Tanto? A Machete? A Katana? An Axe? Something completely different? Drop your ideas below. 👇 This could be the beginning of something very exciting. 🔥⚔️🔥

Being part of our school community has its perks… and this is one of them. This Thursday, April 23rd, we’re dropping the Purple Heart Kali and Serrada sticks—and they are seriously next level. Clean, powerful, and ridiculously good-looking. We made a very limited batch, and as always, you guys get first dibs. We’ll be going live Thursday morning with all the details. Appreciate you being part of this with us. You’re going to love these.

Are we going to get a Blokr Jacket with a different lining? Excited for what’s coming next.
