In this episode, I interview Zach Naylor, owner of TenetCo Knives and an active law enforcement intelligence officer. Zach discusses how his law enforcement background inspires his mission to create practical, affordable everyday carry tools for ordinary people.

Zach’s unique blend of tactical expertise and creative craftsmanship make for a fascinating conversation you won’t want to miss.

The conversation covers the design and function of his knives and specialist tools, the influence of Japanese and Native American aesthetics, and the importance of situational awareness and mindset in self-defense.

Zach emphasizes empowering citizens with discreet, effective tools and shares insights on balancing creativity with real-world safety needs.


Zach’s unique perspective—shaped by years in corrections, intelligence, and hands-on toolmaking—offers a refreshing, practical approach to everyday carry (EDC) and self-defense.
