Perfect for a military man, recreational hunter or professional assassin, the knives are sharp-looking in every sense of the word. Since they are crafted out of [carbon fiber](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mih-bladenex), they are impressively lightweight, ranging between 20.67 to 31.2 grams. They also have aerospace-grade woven and uni-directional pre-preg with a twill weave fabric on the outer surface and 12 layers of uni-directional fiber on the inside. Comprised of [three different knives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/scarab-20), the Escort Carbon Fiber Dagger Bundle boasts a slotted-blade dubbed Escort, the honeycombed Escort II, and an open-handled blade predictably named Escort III. The knives are meant for [self-defence and stabbing](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/benchmade-82-laro), since the edge isn’t super sharp. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.3/10 - Popularity: 69% | Activity: 83% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Carbon Fiber Knives:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop lightweight and durable carbon fiber knives for various industries such as military, hunting, and professional self-defense. - **Lightweight Self-defense Tools:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create lightweight and easy-to-use self-defense tools that prioritize portability and effectiveness. - **Advanced Blade Materials:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore new materials and manufacturing techniques to create stronger, sharper, and more versatile blades for a range of applications. ### Where This Applies - **Military Equipment:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Design innovative self-defense tools for soldiers that enhance their effectiveness while minimizing weight and bulk. - **Hunting Gear:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop lightweight and maneuverable hunting knives for outdoor enthusiasts that improve usability and performance. - **Self-defense Products:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create compact and effective self-defense tools for personal safety that are easily accessible and user-friendly. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Featherlight EDC Pocket Knives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/b2-nano-blade.md) - [Carbon Fiber Folding Knives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crkt.md) - [Minimalist EDC Dagger Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/copper-sheath-dagger.md) - [Volcanic Topography Knives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cutlery-knives.md) - [Featherlight EDC Pocket Knives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tekto-romeo.md) - [Forged Handle Tactical Knives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/a3-delta.md) - [Money Clip-Equipped EDC Knives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/microtech-exocet-dagger.md) - [Handsome Tactical Pocket Knives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tekto-f2-bravo.md) - [Carbon Fiber Handle Axes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-reaper-damascus-axe.md)
