Bradshaw Blades Pocket Guillotine

By Matt on March 17, 2015 in EDC, Knives

The Bradshaw Blades Pocket Guillotine is going to be a downright nasty little last ditch self-defense option. The images shown are of the prototype and there will be changes when it reaches production.

The Pocket Guillotine is essentially a single finger knuck with a cutting edge. It is made from titanium. The edge is chisel ground and carbidized for edge retention. The production Pocket Guillotine will have additional contours for comfort along with a lanyard hole and bottle opener.

Contact Bradshaw Blades via their Facebook page to put on these nasty little buggers in your hand.

Dunamis Gear Foray EDC Pack

By Matt on March 13, 2015 in EDC, Tactical Gear

Dunamis Gear has been showing the progress of their Foray EDC Pack for months and I’m happy to report that it is now available. The Foray is a truly custom pack that has a ton of features in its standard configuration and a dizzying array of custom options.

The basic pack has a surprising amount of organization and easy access. The main compartment can be accessed via a zippered top lid and a full height vertical zipper on the front of the pack. The lid has a small slot pocket with access from the top. You’ll find two interior stash pouches tucked away inside the main compartment. There are also hangers sewn into the pack so that more organizer pouches may be added.

The back panel of the Foray has an externally accessed hydration/small laptop compartment. This compartment can also be used to secure the shoulder straps out of the way if you are using the Foray as a duffel bag or docking it to a larger pack or plate carrier.

If you already own Dunamis Gear Cargo Hangers, you can make that known at the point of purchase and they will tailor the attachment points to work with the cargo hangers! That is a really cool touch that is included in the price.

Custom options include padded back panels, PALS webbing fields on the sides, contoured shoulder straps, various drainage grommet options, and more.

Gryphon M10FFG

By Matt on March 13, 2015 in EDC, Knives

The Gryphon M10 is one of the finest production defensive fixed blades available. It is light, compact, easy to carry, and purpose built to support point driven techniques. Previously, it was only available with a hollow grind which is appropriate for its use but may have limited some of its general utility and edge cutting performance to some extent.

The Gryphon M10FFG is the latest iteration of the venerable M10. The FFG in its name stands for “full flat grind” which indicates that the primary grind is flat from the edge to the spine. This should increase the usefulness of the M10 for slashing cuts and as a general utility knife without radically changing the characteristics that make it great.

It is also worth noting that the M10FFG is ground from laminate VG-10 rather than just solid VG-10 like the hollow ground version. This means that there is a harder VG-10 core layer sandwiched between two layers of a softer metal. This laminate construction makes the entire blade more durable.

Rocky Mountain Bullseye C.A.T. from TOPS Knives

By Matt on March 12, 2015 in EDC, Knives, Preparedness, Survival

Just over a week ago, TOPS Knives introduced their C.A.T. knives with a new grip pattern called Cryptic Cyber. Now they have released a second grip pattern option with a very cool back story.

The new Rockey Mountain Bullseye texture came about serendipitously! The folks at TOPS were machining handles when a machining error created a divot pattern in the surface of the grip slab. It looked good and it felt good so the only thing left to do was program the machine to make the mistake divots on purpose. I wish my mistakes turned out so well.

The new texture is available on the C.A.T. knives in both drop point and tanto. The C.A.T. series is a mainstay of the TOPS Knives lineup thanks to their handy size and versatile shapes.

TOPS Knives launched the new scales today and they are available at an introductory price in both the Tanto version and Hunter’s Point (drop point).

Blade length: 3 1/4″
Overall length: 7 1/4″
Thickness: 5/32″
Scales: Black G-10
Steel: 1095
Sheath: Kydex with multi-position steel clip
Weight: 7.5 oz

EGL 2 Lid CLAYMOARRR Bag

By Matt on March 12, 2015 in EDC, Tactical Gear

Extreme Gear Labs has a fresh take on the classic claymore bag. Their new 2 Lid CLAYMOARRR Bag offers a ton of functionality and modern features in a bag that still stays true to its roots.

The original claymore bags had two pouches that shared a single lid. The EGL CLAYMOARRR has two lids, one for each of the front pouches, that can be used independently. The lids are secured with side release buckles along with hook and loop. The hook and loop can be blocked so that only the buckles secure the lids. There is also a large document pouch behind the iconic front pouches.

The bag boasts plenty of organization potential. It has PALS webbing on the top and sides of each of the front pouches. The two front pouches are loop lined so that you can add any hook backed pouch you want for small item organization.

The bag is secured to the wearer via a 2″ shoulder strap and there are loops for adding a waist strap.

Check out EGL on their website and their Facbeook page.
