Civilware now markets the Striker as a United States made fixed blade built by Toor Knives after the brand became part of Toor Corporation. Geoff Rowley launched Civilware in 2013 following years as a professional skateboarder and later service as a hunting guide focused on conservation.

He shaped the knife after a Colorado mountain lion hunt during which he had left his firearm because he was not hunting that day and two yearling lions unexpectedly ran through brush close by without further incident, then after studying Ben Lilly, whose scrap steel and file knives with wavy profiles informed the recurved edge.

Charlie Davis at Anza Knives in California produced the first forty examples at one hundred fifty dollars each, which sold out in under two days. The present model carries a four inch CPM Cru-Wear blade, a four and a half inch handle, an olive drab and black finish, a Kydex sheath, and a two hundred ninety five dollar price.
