ESEE-6HM at SHOT Show

By on December 21, 2016 in EDC, Knives

ESEE will begin taking orders for their new ESEE-6HM at SHOT Show in early 2017. This new ESEE-6 variant features similar modifications as those found on the other HM, or Handle Modification, knives that have already been released (ESEE-3HM and ESEE-4HM).

The deep finger choil found on the original versions of these knives has been removed in favor of a longer, more rounded handle. This design incorporates a self-guard and places the user’s hand very close to the cutting edge which is preferable for power and precision cuts at the base of the blade.

In all other aspects, this is an ESEE-6 and that is a good thing. The 6.5″ long, .188″ thick, 1095 steel blade with ESEE’s excellent heat treat is still there and if this release is anything like the ESEE-3HM and ESEE-4HM before it, the original ESEE-6 won’t go anywhere. The HM version will be offered in addition to the original.

PHLster Skeleton S/S/T

By on December 20, 2016 in EDC, Guns

PHLster has released a new version of the Skeleton holster, the Skeleton S/S/T. The new holster is more of a transport and utility cover than a holster in that it isn’t designed to be worn. It has no belt hardware and is specifically designed for safe storage and transport of the firearm. The blaze orange color and glow in the dark lanyard could make a Glock stored in the drawer of your nightstand, or in your range bag easier to find.

Additionally, the Skeleton S/S/T may have application for some discreet off body carry methods like inside a backpack or inside a Hill People Gear Kit Bag and other similar set ups. The Skeleton S/S/T could be fixed in the bag via a short lanyard when would cause the holster to break away during the drawstroke as the full length of the lanyard was reached.

These are available now as part of a limited pre-production run via the PHLster Custom Shop. It is currently only available for double stack Glock 9mm, .40SW, and .357SIG pistols.

Why Not?

Kinetic Concepts Tactical just made a holster that will transport you back to simpler times… Times when your teacher, or Sunday school teacher, or babysitter, or parent gave you dry, fish shaped crackers and not nearly enough water to wash them down in a funny little paper cup.

This holsters features the iconic art of the 90’s era Dixie Cup. There is no good reason not to do such a thing so I applaud it. In fact, I think every holster should be printed with Dixie Cup art.

Signet Ring – Spyderco Delica Finger Ring from Wise Men Company

By on December 6, 2016 in EDC, Knives

Wise Men Company’s new Signet Ring turns your Spyderco Delica into something entirely new – not quite a karambit but still a Delica. The Signet replaces the Delica’s back spacer with a machined aluminum ring that functions much like the ring on a karabit. It makes the knife easier to retrieve from the pocket and easier to hold in an edge down orientation.

Delicas with the Emerson Wave Opener will be very easy to deploy using the Signet. The ring would sit above the wearer’s pocket where the index finger can easily slip into it and the knife will “automatically” deploy on the draw stroke. This can go a long way toward helping solve the issue of ending up with a grip that is too low on the knife when using the Wave. Regular Delicas may be modified to “wave” open in a similar way by simply attaching a zip tie to the Spyder Hole.

You can pre-order the Signet Ring at Wise Men Company. Shipping begins in January.
