California-based Agency Arms is a newer company (just founded in January of 2015) that quickly made a name for themselves with higher end Glock modifications. At SHOT Show this year they notably launched an AR and the NOC. The latest is a limited edition collaboration with an equally distinguished company, Jake Hoback Knives. Here's what they have to say about it: May 18, 2016 (Ventura, CA) – Agency Arms and Jake Hoback Knives are pleased to officially announce a collaboration product, the limited edition Agent Knife. The Agent Knife collaboration between Agency Arms and Jake Hoback consists of a limited run of 50 Jake Hoback-designed knives. Each knife carries the Agency Arms logo and markings to complement the distinct geometry of the Agency Arms Glock slide. Internally, each knife will feature the Hoback Rolling Detent System (HRD), Pivot Thrust Bearings (PTB), a Hardened Stainless Steel Lock Insert with over travel prevention, and Cold Formed Bearing Races for increased bearing and knife life. “Agency Arms has grown in size and reputation by designing, machining, and modifying firearms that are among the finest in the industry,” said Jake Hoback. “We pride ourselves on a similar commitment to making knives of the highest quality and functionality. We see this new relationship as a perfect marriage of the knife and firearms industries and one that will produce many amazing products for our respective customers for years to come.” “We are very proud and humbled to align with Jake Hoback regarding the limited edition Agent Knife,” said Michael Parks at Agency Arms. “Jake's reputation perfectly syncs with what Agency Arms is founded on and we couldn’t be prouder of this new collaboration.” You can find out more information about this product and others by visiting Agency Arms online here, and Jake Hoback Knives online here.
