New Information, Images, and Video – Hardpoint Equipment Manticuda Gen2

By on September 21, 2016 in EDC, Knives

Hardpoint Equipment has released a slew of new information on the Manticuda Gen2 (MG2) and reduced the price on the pre-order! You read the previous post on the Manticuda Gen2 for background.

I received a handful of questions around the MG2’s sheath. We now know that the sheath is kydex and is designed to be worn inside the waistband. The knife is slim enough that it is all but disappears under a covering garment when carried in this way. The sheath will have the option of using easy-on/easy-off plastic clips or metal Utiliclips that can be used to secure the sheath even when you aren’t wearing a belt.

The pre-order price on the MG2 has been lowered from $100 to $75. This will be the lowest price ever offered on this knife. The knives are already being heat treated so they should be completed soon and the pre-order price won’t last long.

Finally, Hardpoint Equipment has released a video (below) that compares the MG2 to other knife options, talks about its advantages and application, and shows the sheath in action. It is just over 4 minutes long and worth a watch if you are considering picking up an MG2.

Surprise, Arizona, September 20, 2016– Atibal’s new XP8 Xtra Precision 1-8×24 was created in partnership with our sponsored 3-Gun Nation competition shooter, Ryan Wiggins. The XP8 features the removable SwyftView Lever allowing for lighting fast magnification adjustments.

The XP8 utilizes the Diamond Tactical Reticle (DTR) with a .5 MOA center red dot with a BDC calibrated for 5.56 62gr ammo. The DTR reticle allows shooters to quickly obtain targets with the diamond reticle in CQB scenarios and for more precise shots at longer distances with its fine 0.5 MOA center red dot.

At $399.99, the XP8 is the most affordable 1-8×24 with a LIFETIME WARRANTY on the market. The anticipated release date for the XP8 is October 25, 2016.
