RE Factor Tactical Newton Bag

By on April 3, 2015 in EDC, Tactical Gear

The RE Factor Tactical Newton bag is designed to discreetly carry a variety of tactical party favors but it looks like a fully functional computer bag… because it is a fully functional computer bag.

Many of the elements of the bag have been designed with a dual purpose, both common and covert. Innocuous looking pouches under the front flap are sized to hold magazines. Panels can be removed to expose MOLLE webbing. The laptop compartment is sized to hold a laptop… or an MP5K. Elements like these are found throughout the bag.

The 9-5 office crowd is not necessarily the market for this bag (unless your office is an international airport on a protection detail) but I can see a lot of crossover appeal with regular guy concealed carriers. This bag is like a Transformer. There is definitely more than meets the eye. Read more about the Newton Bag at RE Factor Tactical.

Koch Tools Kulprit

By on March 27, 2015 in EDC

Koch Tools makes some of the slickest pocket tools around. These cool little widgets typically offer a variety of tool functions, look innocuous, and manage to pack in some last ditch self-defense potential. Their latest design, the Kulprit will be available tonight at 6PM Eastern and, if you want one, you better set an alarm. These tools are made in limited batches and tend to sell out quickly.

The Kulprit’s main feature is its bottle opener. It also features a 1/4″ hex wrench that can be used with 1/4″ driver bits. The pocket clip allows it to be kept clipped in your pocket or function as a key hanger. In a pinch, the large finger loop allows it to function as a single finger knuck-like impact tool.

The Kulprit is water jet cut from .14″ titanium and given a stone washed finish. Check it out at Koch Tools.
