Daylight Savings time just ended. I live far enough north that our official sunset time comes before 4:30 PM. That is good reason to make sure my flashlight situation is squared away. Elzetta can help. They are offering 20% off their lights when you use the code FALLBACK on their website.
I carry either an Elzetta Alpha or a Bravo daily – both with the High/Low tailcap. I can’t recommend them highly enough. Check out Elzetta.com and use code FALLBACK to save 20%.
You may know Sentinel Gear for their holsters but recently they have also ventured into the realm of purpose built, fixed-blade, self-defense knives – the type of knives that I believe should be carried as a companion to a firearm. They have introduced a knife called the MKIII and it appears to have a lot going for it.
Their MKIII blade ticks off all of what I look for in a knife for this purpose…
Ease of Carry: It is slim and compact to be carried close to the body, preferably near the center-line of the body.
Point Driven: It’s blade is designed for point-driven techniques which I find to be the most intuitive.
Strong Retention: The handle promotes strong retention via a slightly hooked pommel, a deep first finger choil, and aggressive texture. The handle shape also allows the user to orient the knife by feel.
Trainer/Drone Availability: The MKIII has an affordable training drone available. This is often overlooked my makers and manufacturers.
Affordable: The MKIII is a full custom knife at the production knife price of just $150.
On top of all that, Sentinel Gear has just introduced a $40, non-metallic version called the MKIII Specter. Point driven designs are very well suited to point driven methodologies since the edge of non-metallic knives doesn’t hold up well to repeated slashing. However, with a sufficiently thick spine, a non-metallic knife can continue to pierce almost indefinitely.
The MKIII is available in a single or double edge configuration. It comes with a kydex sheath with clothe clip so that it can be carried in a variety of ways, even when you don’t have a belt.
Specs:
Steel: 1095 with dark washed finish
Thickness: 1/8″
Cutting Edge: 3.5″
OAL: 7.12″
Scale Material: G10
Sheath: Kydex

When a gun company comes out with a branded watch, most watch-guys probably roll their eyes. They are usually just rebranded fashion watches with all the quality of a trade show giveaway. BCM went a different route. Their new BCM Mk15 Tritium Watch is certainly not a cheap quartz rebrand. It is their design from the ground up and they even own the tooling!
This watch isn’t cheap but, in the world of watches, it isn’t expensive either. Judging by the feature set, they are actually delivering some very solid value for the asking price. Things like sapphire crystals with double AR coatings, Swiss movements, tritium, and 316L PVD cases built like this don’t come cheap. Check out the limited edition BCM Mk15 Tritium Watch.
