Skallywag Tactical states “Introducing the Skallywag Tactical × Force Blue Riptide Spear Point. When Skallywag Tactical, a U.S. veteran-owned maker of high-quality, mission-driven tools, joined forces with Force Blue, it marked more than a collaboration; it became a convergence of purpose and passion. Skallywag Tactical is guided by a legacy of precise craftsmanship and a commitment to building tools for professionals whose lives depend on them. Meanwhile, Force Blue stands as the only nonprofit in the world focused on “mission therapy,” redeploying former combat divers into marine conservation roles that heal both people and the oceans.
This partnership channels the shared values of excellence, service, and resilience. Skallywag brings razor-sharp focus and rugged reliability; Force Blue brings the heart and mission to restore lives and reefs through elite underwater operations. Together, they don’t just deliver a blade configuration; they provide a symbol of service: a tool born from discipline and deployed for stewardship.
The Riptide configuration is more than hardware. It stands as a tribute to the brothers and sisters who’ve sacrificed below the surface, and to the fragile ecosystems they now protect. Each piece reflects Skallywag’s insistence on uncompromising quality, paired with Force Blue’s philosophy of “service‑before‑self,” bringing combat-hardened operators to bear on issues that matter, both on land and beneath the waves.
By harnessing Force Blue’s model, transforming elite special operations veterans into conservation warriors, and leveraging Skallywag’s ethos, which delivers veteran-made tools trusted in life-or-death scenarios, this collaboration turns gear into mission. The Riptide is a partnership forged in purpose: built to perform, rooted in service, and designed to honor both the warrior and the world they now defend.”
