Greg Tambone Bio
Gregory Isaac Tambone is a multifaceted entrepreneur and philanthropist, widely respected for designing some of the world’s most effective knives, tools, and non-permissive environment gear. His custom craftsmanship blends innovative design with unmatched durability and functionality, reflecting a life shaped by extraordinary experiences.
Gregory’s journey is as complex as it is compelling. Through intense trials and tribulations over the years he survived and even thrived via the implementation of real-world tactics and subterfuge. The unwavering ability to improvise, adapt, and overcome brought forth from hard-earned lessons now lives on in the tools he creates — gear designed not just in theory, but forged through practical knowledge. Every product reflects the same resilience, precision, and strategic thinking that once kept him alive in some of the world’s most unforgiving environments.
Beyond his professional achievements, Gregory is deeply committed to humanitarian efforts. His initiatives began with the support of disabled veterans, but in recent years he's expanded to include programs geared towards impoverished youth. He uses his business proceeds to build schools, churches, and food banks with a focus on developing opportunity for children and the elderly living in extreme poverty.
In 2024, Gregory was honored with a commission as a Colonel by Governor Andy Beshear of Kentucky, a testament to his enduring service and leadership.
Every product crafted under his guidance carries the weight of this remarkable journey — a legacy of overcoming adversity, relentless innovation, and a passion to make a positive impact.
