New from TOPS Knives: Micro Hawk

By on February 17, 2016 in EDC, Knives, Survival

Micro Hawk 1

The Micro Hawk, from TOPS Knives and designer Shawn Owens, is an interesting concept. It looks like a compact tomahawk but in use it probably has more in common with a knife. Shawn is a pilot, Filipino martial artist, and instructor and the Micro Hawk has grown out of those experiences. It is a compact, heavy-duty tool that can be used as part of an aircraft survival kit or carried as an edge weapon.

It’s part karambit, part ulu, part field knife, and part hatchet. Check out the Micro Hawk at TOPS Knives.

The Next Big Thing from Firelance Media

By on February 17, 2016 in Other

Firelance Media has proven their mettle with both video and still cameras. They have captured training courses, sporting events, products images, and more, but they are about to embark on their most ambitious project yet – Documerican Road (click here to read more at Firelance Media).

The idea behind Documerican Road is simple. Matt at Firelance Media will put his video gear in his personal vehicle and start driving. He will have planned stops at various businesses in the firearms and sporting industry. There will also be plenty of time built in for unplanned stops along the way. The businesses he profiles will be small businesses, or small businesses that became more than small businesses, craftsman, trainers, makers, and anyone else that makes this industry tick.

The film that comes out of this trip will likely be part time capsule, part character study, part advertisement, part documentary, and all fascinating.

The idea of Documerican Road may be simple but the execution of it certainly won’t be. As you can imagine, this is going to be a large, expensive undertaking. There will be opportunities to help get this done so, keep an eye on the Firelance Media Facebook page and blog page for information.

Flatpack Tourniquet Carrier News

By on February 17, 2016 in EDC, Preparedness, Survival, Tactical Gear

PHLster’s  Flatpack Tourniquet Carrier has been a smashing success. They are available only at Snake Hound Machine where, in the span of just a few weeks, they have already restocked and sold out several times. In response, production has been increased to meet the demand.

The Flatpack can now be purchased with an optional MALICE Clip. The MALICE Clip can be mounted to the back of the Flatpack with the soft loops removed. This makes the Flatpack mountable on a single column of PALS webbing (MOLLE compatible). Going forward, all Flatpacks are MALICE Clip compatible so even if you don’t add the clip at the point of purchase, you can add one later.

Finally, production has been sufficiently streamlined and increased to the point that dealer sales and agency purchases have been opened for the Flatpack Tourniquet Carrier. Contact Snake Hound Machine if you are interested.
