Panteao Pictures, an offshoot of Panteao Productions, just released a new teaser for their upcoming film, Alexander’s Bridge. The new teaser shines a bit more light on the plot of the movie and it certainly looks like it is setting up to be exactly the type of scenario that I daydreamed about in history class. I am looking forward to seeing the full length film.

Victory First and Vertx Join Forces
From Vertx:
VERTX SIGNS STRATEGIC ALLIANCE WITH VICTORY FIRST
Cincinnati, OH-04 DEC 13-Vertx Apparel is proud to announce the formation of a strategic alliance with Matt Jacques and the cadre of Victory First Consulting. Victory First’s Founder and Instructor Matt Jacques will be assisting Vertx with the development of both covert and overt operational equipment. He will also be involved in the ongoing evolution of “low profile” apparel designed for unremarked wear in the urban sprawl or non-permissive environment.
“Matt brings a unique set of skills and specific mindset to the design table,” says Vertx Business Development Manager Darrell Morrow. “His particular background and experience will help us completely change the way you go to the range and do the job–armed and unnoticed.”
Jacques is an SME with over twenty years of military, law enforcement, tactical and undercover experience. He has spent over the last two decades working in or providing training to specialized units and personnel of certain assignments that operated by necessity in low profile here and abroad. These have involved counter-narcotics, investigations, high risk fugitive apprehension, and dignitary protection/PSD and force protection. He has also overseen the development of several weapons systems and their training programs. He has previously worked with both Vertx and Industrial Alchemy on specific programs and is looking forward to working with Vertx on a developmental level.
“I am very excited about the working with Vertx,” says Jacques. “They’re a company that is making great strides forward in practical application discreet apparel and gear–you’re going to see their catalog grow with some phenomenal clothing and kit. I’m humbled by the invitation they extended to Victory First and honored to be a part of this development. I’m looking forward to growing with them.”
Jacques is the host of the new Panteao Productions Make Ready TV, is an instructor on several of the Panteao Productions’ “MAKE READY” series of training DVDs, has been involved in the last 3 seasons of Trigger Time TV, is a contributing writer on RECOILWEB.COM and provides SME consulting to other publications. He and his staff continue to work with firearms and equipment manufacturers here in the US while providing specialized instruction to responsible civilians, law enforcement personnel and members of the military.

Blackout 550 Paracord from BladeHQ
I know that paracord with black inner strands isn’t really going to do anything that normal paracord can’t and yet I don’t want it any less. This Blackout 500 Paracord from BladeHQ is the coolest thing I have seen all day!
Three Circle Knives Satori Tanto
The Satori Tanto from Three Circle Knives harkens back to the traditional Japanese tanto but brings some decidedly modern innovation to the age old design. The Satori Tanto is ground from 440C stainless steel and features a 6.5″ long American tanto shaped blade. The handle is wrapped with paracord in various colors. Each knife is Cerakoted in either satin silver, FDE, or black and comes with a Kydex sheath.
The cord for the handle wrap is retained by the Satori Tanto’s single guard and flared pommel. Both the guard and pommel are actually an integral part of the knife which is machined from a solid billet of steel. Integral designs are not necessarily new but I have never seen them used quite like this to retain a cord wrap.
The Satori Tanto is certainly a handsome knife with its long, graceful curve at the spine combined with the angular American tanto style edge and a design that manages to appear both traditional and modern at the same time. Check out the Satori Tanto at Three Circle Knives.
