Blade-Tech Industries, founded in 1995 by Tim Wegner and his son, has become a prominent manufacturer of high-quality thermoplastic holsters and tactical gear. The company started small in Wegner’s garage, hand-crafting each piece, and has since grown into a global manufacturing company known for its innovative designs and quality products.
They were also one of the first companies in the holster industry to produce holsters exclusively from Kydex. At that time, Kydex was new to the gun holster market, but Blade-Tech saw it’s potential as a holster material.
Some holster manufacturers offer holsters in leather only, or leather and kydex; but Blade-Tech is one of the few companies that makes kydex holsters exclusively. They offer a complete line of kydex holsters for nearly every holster application.
In terms of holster models, Blade-Tech produces holster for:
- OWB
- IWB
- Paddle
- Tasers
- Chest carry
- Weapon mounted tactical lights
In addition to their standard kydex line that is sheet molded, Blade-Tech has started offering a less expensive injection-molded line.
These days, Blade-Tech has expanded their product line beyond holsters and now offers a wide range of other products, including:
Knife Sheaths: Precision-molded thermoplastic sheaths for various knife models.
Magazine Pouches: Designed for quick reloads and secure retention.
Field Knives: High-quality knives made from premium steels and composites.
Attachment Systems: Such as:
- TEK-LOK: A patented, multi-functional quick-detachable utility belt clip system
- TMMS (Tactical Modular Mount System)
- Molle-Lok: For attaching gear to MOLLE-compatible platforms
