The Banshee QD Plate Carrier, improved Banshee Shoulder Pads, and Warfighter Padded Belt are now available direct from Shellback Tactical. These items were previously only available through Tactical Assault Gear. Hopefully, the Banshee QD cummerbund will be available separately soon for users who want to retrofit their current Banshee PC.
Andrew at Vuurwapen Blog just released a video regarding the inefficacy of the currently proposed “universal background check” legislation. He uses a heavy dose of common sense and even some math to point out that these laws are unenforceable and do nothing to actually prevent those with criminal intent from getting firearms. This video is worth a watch.
I always thought that the BK10 Crewman was the most practical Becker knife available during the days when Camillus still made the Becker Knife & Tool line. The Crewman is basically just a shortened version of the larger BK7. It is similar in size to the currently available Campanion but is 3/16″ thick rather than 1/4″ thick like the Campanion. This made it a better cutter while still retaining more than enough durability for anything you should be asking a knife to do. Thankfully, Ka-Bar reintroduced the Crewman at the 2013 SHOT Show and it should be available again soon.
The Becker Crewman knives are already listed at BladeHQ and should be in stock soon.
Our friends at The-Knife-Connection are now offering G-10 handle scales for the Becker Knife & Tool 2, 3, 5, 7, 9 & 10 Series knives. They make the nicest and most functional handles around for most of the ESEE line and now they are applying that same know-how to the Becker line-up.
These scales are CNC machined and for a precise fit. They are designed to work with the factory sheath which means you don’t have to have a custom sheath made to fit the handles. The handle scales are available in a variety of colors that range from very subdued to very highly visible.
Check out the Becker Knife & Tool Handles from The-Knife-Connection.
Manticore Arms, maker of excellent muzzle devices and other good stuff, has a great logo. I mean, its a picture of a manticore and you are no doubt aware that manticores are pretty cool. While “real” manticores looked pretty mean, the manticore in the Manticore Arms logo looks downright loveable. Who wouldn’t want one of these little guys stuck to their tactical gear?
Check out the Manticore Arms logo patch on ManticoreArms.com.
