Every year, on Memorial Day, I try to take my kids to a local war memorial. At these sites, they see names of real people who died while in service to their country and community. If you have a site like this nearby, I strongly recommend you visit. Take your kids. Drive home the point that there is a tangible cost to much of what we take for granted.
Chase Tactical’s Memorial Day Weekend Sale is going on now. Save 20% when you use the code NEVERFORGET at checkout. The sale runs through June 1st.
The Nomad, from Pressure Cult, is a traveler’s multi-tool. In its base form, this machined aluminum tool is easy to travel with and features a bottle opener and bit holder for standard hex bits (the triangular hole). There is a slot to store a 2″ hex bit (included) with o-ring retention.
Once the traveler reaches their destination, they can add a utility blade to the bottle opener end using the Allen wrench that stores on the tool itself. This addition turns the Nomad into a defensive cutting tool useful for reverse edge methodology. The tool can accept hooked or regular straight utility blades. Even if a blade can not be sourced, the Nomad works as a blunt striking tool.
The Nomad comes with a kydex pocket sheath that accepts both utility blade types. It also includes:
I own an earlier version of the Nomad. Most of the places I travel are easy enough to carry more dedicated self-defense tools but I have come to like the Nomad even just for everyday or utility tasks. It is comfortable to hold in multiple grips, lightweight, and the pocket sheath makes it extremely easy to carry.
These are released in batches so keep an eye on @pressurecult on Instagram and their website – PressureCult.bigcartel.com
Tyrant Design CNC is holding a Memorial Day weekend sale that includes discounts, free shipping, and more. This weekend also marks the release of two new magazine wells for the Polymer 80 and G17 Gen 4.
FLC Knives is set to introduce a new variant of their popular “Get Off Me Tool”. The new versions, referred to as Ultralight, will be made from 1/8″ steel stock instead of the 3/16″ thick stock on the regular “Get Off Me Tool” No.6.
The obvious benefit to this new version is the lighter weight but the driving force behind it is the proliferation of laser-cut PALS grids. Thinner stock means a thinner sheath and a thinner sheath means that the Ultralight versions of the Get Off Me Tools will fit into narrower laser-cut PALS columns.
FLC Knives states that there will be Ultralight versions of both the standard-sized Get Off Me Tool No.6 and the Stubby Get Off Me Tool No.6. These items tend to sell out quickly so keep an eye on the following locations for details and a chance to buy your own:
