I bought my first, true, tactical knife in 2024 after shopping around for months. When DMO Knives launched a product in collaboration with John “Tig” Tiegen as tribute to fallen heroes in the Benghazi Attacks, I knew I had to get it. I just didn’t realize how incredible the knife was going to be.

In this episode, the CEO of Jeff Lofton, joins me to talk about “The Tig” Knife and the Dead Moose Ops (DMO) Story.

Forged in the field. Trusted by those who serve.

DMO Knives was born in 2013 when Master Craftsman and law enforcement officer Rob Garcia partnered with SWAT team member Brian Cathey to create tactical blades built to perform under pressure. What began in a garage in Missouri quickly caught the attention of elite operators, including the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department Special Enforcement Bureau, who still carry our blades to this day.

In 2021, Jen and Jeff Lofton—longtime DMO customers and fellow public servants—acquired DMO Knives to carry the mission forward. Jeff, a former Chief of Police and SWAT Commander, and Jen, an award-winning school safety leader and educator, bring deep-rooted leadership and a passion for reliability to the brand.

Today, DMO continues to handcraft every knife with precision and purpose, staying true to our law enforcement roots while expanding into the broader 2A and outdoor communities. Whether it’s a blade for duty, survival, or everyday carry, we build tools you can depend on—because failure is never an option.

Still law enforcement owned and operated. Still built to never fail the operator.
