Black Triangle Goodies at Empire Outfitters

By on April 27, 2021 in EDC, Knives

If you are a connoisseur of discreet defensive tools, you are likely familiar with Black Triangle and their line of non-metallic implements. You probably also know that gear like their G10 Midnight Creeper, G10 Serval, and similar can be very hard to get your hands on since these items are produced in batches and tend to sell out quickly.

Empire Outfitters can help. They have a huge haul of Black Triangle goodies in bound and have opened pre-orders for all it. If you want something, you’ll need to act FAST.

Rainier Knives Launches New Model: Basecamp

By on April 26, 2021 in EDC, Knives

The new Rainier Knives Basecamp is not just a Fastpak with a longer blade and fuller grip though it does retain the focus on lightweight, premium Elmax steel, and customizations found on the Fastpak. The Basecamp has a 7.4″ overall length and a 3.4″ blade. In spite of this larger size, it weighs in at just 2.6 ounces including the sheath thanks to a skeletonized tang and hollowed handle scales.

The Basecamp has a blade shape reminiscent of a roach belly style knife with little to no drop at the spine and a nearly continuous curve at the edge for plenty of belly. It features a high flat primary grind.

The user has their choice of handle scale colors and kydex sheath color options. Rainier Knives sheaths are actually functional for EDC right out the box which is refreshing compared to most knife makers.

The Basecamp, like the Fastpak before it, is designed, produced, and assembled in the USA.

By on April 8, 2021 in EDC, Knives, Outdoor Gear, Preparedness, Survival

Andy Tran of InnerBark Outdoors has a new knife design that is being produced by Work Tuff Gear. The Klapatche Companion Knife is designed to be a companion to a larger knife or axe but can also serve the role of an EDC fixed blade thanks to it’s sheath design.

The Klapatche is a companion knife to larger knives or axes for the serious adventurist or as a standalone blade for those wanting a highly capable knife in a compact and lightweight package. The wider blade allows you to dig the blade deep into wood with a baton. The thumb ramp has a hole that is the perfect size to remove bullets from cartridges so the powder can be used for fire-starting. The handle is shaped to allow for multiple grips (forward grip, reverse grip, blade down etc.). The sheath is equipped with an Ulti-Clip, keeping the sheath secured in your pocket as you draw the knife. The design and ergonomics makes the Klapatche a go-to blade for any outdoor enthusiast.

Ground Fall Gear Grifter Slim

By on March 31, 2021 in EDC

Ground Fall Gear’s new Grifter Slim is essentially a simpler, sleeker, and more compact version of their original Grifter Neck Bag. The concept is simple, it’s just a pouch that hangs around your neck, but the applications are many. It can be used to secure travel documents, expand your EDC, carry a first aid kit, and more.

The new Grifter Slim eschews the webbing strap of the original in favor of a paracord neck lanyard. While the original Grifter Neck Bag has multiple pockets and PALS webbing, the Grifter Slim has a single pocket and a sleek exterior.

The Grifter Slim features 500D Cordura Nylon construction and a hook and loop flap closure. All Ground Fall Gear products are made in Minnesota, USA.
