By Matt on June 3, 2015 in EDC, Knives

The new TOPS Knives Mil-SPIE Elite is based on their previous Mil-SPIE 3 model. The Mil-SPIE 3 is ground from 154CM stainless steel while the new Mil-SPIE Elite is ground from 1095 carbon steel. The new model also sports a tan powder coat finish and your choice of black linen micarta or tan canvas micarta scales.

The Mil-SPIE Elite is 3/16″ at the spine but it’s tall flat grind tapers down to a very usable cutting edge. The dropped point blade shape makes it very versatile and the thin handle scales make it easy to carry close your body with the included Kydex sheath.

KEY-BAR

By Matt on June 1, 2015 in EDC

KEY-BAR is an EDC key organizer that turns your jumble of jangly keys into a silent, easy to carry, Swiss Army Knife like tool. Each one comes with a pocket clip, a loop for attaching key fobs, and all the hardware you need to stow up to 12 keys. They are available in a variety of materials and finishes that are sure to suit any taste and, if they don’t have one that suits you, they can customize one to your specs.

I don’t carry a lot of keys daily but I admit it is hard to resist the allure of the KEY-BAR. That is due in part to a wide variety of key shaped tools that are availabnle. KEY-BAR actually sells a few of them like screw drivers, bottle openers, and thumb drives. That means that, even if you only carry 4 keys like I do, you can use KEY-BAR to replace and organize several other items that you carry regularly.

On top of all that, they have carbon fiber, so… Check out KEY-BAR.

Operator Band – Live Fire Edition from RE Factor Tactical

By Matt on May 30, 2015 in EDC, Preparedness, Survival, Tactical Gear

RE Factor Tactical has introduced a new version of their popular Operator Band that incorporates Live Fire 550 Firecord because, duh, of course they did. It just make all the sense in their world. The 550 Firecord serves as a contrasting center strip in the appearance of the band and, in an emergency, it can be opened to access the inner tinder strands for fire starting. All other functions of the Operator Band remain intact in this new version.

MSM Boss Beaver

By Matt on May 27, 2015 in EDC, Tactical Gear

MIL-SPEC MONKEY just released his latest pack design – the MSM Boss Beaver. If you liked the Adapt Pack, but wished for something a bit bigger, this one may be for you.

The MSM Boss Beaver’s layout is similar to the Adapt Pack with a few key additions. The most noticeable is the massive “beaver tail” on the front of the pack. The Monkey had two design goals with the beaver tail to correct shortcomings he has seen with other packs. First, he designed the beaver tail so that it could be held tightly to the pack when it was not in use. Second, the beaver tail doesn’t prevent access to any of the compartments.

The Boss Beaver is made in the USA by Tactical Tailor. I am really just scratching the surface of this pack’s features so I strongly suggest you check out the video below and then check out the MSM Boss Beaver at the MSM Store.

Blue Force Gear Belt Mounted Pouches – Now Available

By Matt on May 20, 2015 in EDC, Tactical Gear

Blue Force Gear’s (BFG) new line of belt mounted pouches are now available. These pouches leverage BFG’s Ten-Speed design elements, Helium Whisper technology, and a new laser cut Velcro One-Wrap belt mounting system to create a line of pouches that are light, thin, durable, and versatile.

The line includes several items like multiple magazine pouches, a dump pouch, a baton pouch, cuff pouch, and pepper spray pouch. All of the pouches are extremely light in weight and add very little thickness to the objects that they are carrying which makes them very concealable.

I have had several of these pouches in hand for a few months and I’m really impressed with the laser cut One-Wrap belt loops. It allows you to place the pouches anywhere you want on your belt without having to remove the belt. It also serves to lock down their locations on Velcro lined duty belts. It is a clever system that has a lot of potential.

Check out the new Belt Mounted Pouches at Blue Force Gear.
