Freeman Outdoor Group 451 Chopper

By on June 14, 2014 in Knives, Preparedness, Survival, Tactical Gear

Freeman Outdoor Group’s 451 line of knives is growing in size and number. The new 451 Chopper, with its 6.5″ blade (11.8″ overall), is their largest knife yet.

The 451 Chopper is ground from 3/16″ thick LSS PGK steel. It features aggressively textured G-10 handle scales and a Cerakote finish. The 451 Chopper comes with a Spec Ops sheath with a custom formed plastic insert.

The drop point blade profile has a 3/4 height, flat primary grind with a 40 degree secondary grind. The blade looks very distinctive with its swedge grind and long fuller. The tang is exposed at the pommel for hammering.

20$Bandit Mini-Mini-Kit?

By on June 12, 2014 in EDC, Preparedness, Survival, Tactical Gear

I’m a big fan of the Mini-Kit MK-7 from 20$Bandit. So, a picture that came across my desk recently piqued my interest. It would appear that 20$Bandit is working on a Mini-Mini-Kit!

20$Bandit Prototype

The Mini-Kit MK-7 is a great size to carry in another pack or possibly to wedge into a cargo pocket but it isn’t going to work in your front pocket. This new prototype looks like it will pack a lot of same functionality into a much smaller, more pocketable package.

I’ll keep you up to date on the progress of this prototype. In the mean time, check out 20$Bandit.

BFG – Alternate Dapper Use

By on June 6, 2014 in EDC, Preparedness, Survival, Tactical Gear

Blue Force Gear posted a video that shows a handy alternate use for their Dappers (below). Dappers are their line of hook backed pouches that are intended to be attached to loop material that is commonly found inside of EDC and tactical backpacks, bags, and cases. The video shows that the Dappers can be attached to the carpet material that basically every car on the planet has lining the trunk and other compartments.

Check out the full line of Dappers at Blue Force Gear.
