Who We Are

The Story

Tern & Anchor, LLC isn't built on corporate fluff or abstract consulting speak. We are a tactical supply and direct-procurement provider built by operators, for operators. Founded by a retired U.S. Navy Chief Petty Officer with 21 years of active-duty service, we understand that when lives are on the line, secondary gear is a liability.

We serve those who carry the weight: law enforcement, tactical units, search and rescue teams, special operations, and first responders across the Hampton Roads region and nationwide.
​
​We have access to most brands but we are especially proud to be a authorized dealer of ESEE knives and Olight/Osight and the Olight world products.
