New from TOPS Knives: C.U.T. 4.0

The new TOPS CUT 4.0 looks like it might be one of the few knives that can successfully bridge the gap between a reasonable effective karambit and a practical, general-purpose knife. That is exactly what designer Joshua Swanagon was hoping to accomplish.

CUT4 (1)

Having a martial arts background, Joshua Swanagon has done some training with the karambit and is a fan of ring style knives and their prowess in combative applications. However, also being an avid outdoorsman, he has found them to be less than ideal as field utility blades. So he set out to make a knife that could combine those disciplines and decided to call it the C.U.T. 4.0 (Combat Utility Tool).

Those of you who keep an eye on TOPS Knives will notice that the sheath is a departure from their usual kydex-with-a-clip designs. This kydex sheath features two soft loops that allow the sheath to be mounted a number of ways including horizontally on the belt with the handle in toward the centerline. This carry method makes it easy to draw the knife wit either hand in a very compact space.

Even if you never use the karambit functionality of this knife, you’ll appreciate the versatile blade shape and practical size. Check out the new CUT 4.0 at TOPS Knives.

Ruger Auction to Benefit USA Shooting

You can support USA Shooting (the national governing body for Olympic shooting sports) and have a chance at landing one of the coolest (and hardest to find) Ruger revolvers ever made.

Ruger Speed Six 9mm USA Shooting

Ruger is auctioning a 9mm Speed Six and all the proceeds will benefit to USA Shooting. The Speed Six, Service Six (fixed, integral rear sight) and Security Six (adjustable rear sight) have long been discontinued but they were truly excellent revolvers. The 9mm chambered version of the Speed Six is particularly desirable and hard to find. The one in this auction was manufactured in 1983 and features a blued finish with a 2-3/4″ barrel, fixed sights, six-shot cylinder, and round butt frame design.

Check out the auction at Ruger.com.

Dueck Defense RBU 2 Dot Tritium

Dueck Defense has released another new RBU variation. This one is very much like the original RBU for mounting a Trijicon RMR to a Glock but it has 2 dot tritium night sights embedded in the sights. The tritium vials are configured in a dot-over-dot configuration with one vial in the front sight and one in rear. This is a limited edition.

Check out the RBU 2 Dot Tritium at Dueck Defense.

MODERN BUDŌ Shirt – Breach Bang Clear

The rules state that all gun guys must wear gun t-shirts. Just go to the range if you want to see what I mean. If you find yourself woefully short on cool guy t-shirts, you could do a lot worse than the new MODERN BUDŌ shirt from Breach Bang Clear.

It’s pretty slick and you want one.

The Modern Samurai from Anachrobellum

For Immediate Release

Anachrobellum LLC

29 March 16 Broken Arrow, OK
Knife Hand the World is nine kinds of chuffed to let everyone know the Modern Budō (“Tactical Samurai”) design is in full production after the initial test run sold out in just a couple of days. The Samurai shirt, a part of the Anachrobellum lineup with the support of Breach-Bang-Clear, has proven to be the fastest selling one to date (including even the various versions of American Jedi).

The design is currently available only in black, in sizes ranging from Small to 3XL.

Why the Samurai? Of all the warrior archetypes in the world, none is perhaps more recognizable than that of the Samurai. The word Samurai is derived at least in part from the word saburau, which means “to serve.” That’s fitting enough, particularly in the modern context and even more so with regard to how we regard the warrior ethos. There’s nothing wrong with a little ego in a fighting man, quite the contrary — but if that ego is not subordinated to some sense of the greater good (serving your country, serving your community, sticking up for those weaker than you), well, then…you’re probably just an asshole and you don’t deserve to wear this shirt anyway.

This particular Samurai is carrying some things MInamoto Tametomo and Miyamoto Musashi wouldn’t recognize — Mk17, PEQ15, OSS Suppressor, S&S Precision Manta strobe and the like — but they’d understand the philosophy behind it.

“In China there was once a man who liked pictures of dragons, and his clothing and furnishings were all designed accordingly. His deep affection for dragons was brought to the attention of the dragon god, and one day a real dragon appeared before his window. It is said that he died of fright. He was probably a man who always spoke big words but acted differently when facing the real thing.” (Yamamoto Tsunetomo, c. 1700)

Pick one up at www.anachrobellum.com or find them on Instagram, @anachrobellum. Check out the Modern Viking version, and watch for our homage to Roger’s Rangers coming very soon.
