Oneiros Valley and Cdh-Tac Finland Join Forces to Produce THE-E Pocket Organizer

Cdh-Tac has been generating significant interest in their THE-E Pocket Organizer but they have not been able to start large scale production. That is where Oneiros Valley comes in. They will be starting production of the THE-E here in the USA in collaboration with Cdh-Tac Finland with delivery starting late this year.

You can see the earlier post on the THE-E for more details on the organizer. Check out the THE-E at Oneiros Valley.

SHTF Gear Announced the ACE-1 Gen 2 Holster

shtf gear ace-1 gen 2

I have been using my original ACE-1 Holster from SHTF Gear for well over a year now and I love it dearly. I reviewed it a while back and found that I like the hardware, the stability, the comfort, and the way they cut the back panel to promote a solid grip straight out of the holster. Now there is a new version of the ACE-1 to look forward to…

From SHTF Gear:

LOGAN, Utah—July 21, 2014—SHTF Gear LLC today introduced a new hybrid holster, the ACE-1 Gen 2. Building on the success of the ACE-1 holster, SHTF Gear developed the second generation ACE-1 to offer greater comfort, durability, and ease of use. This new design will replace the first generation holster and is now available for pre-order through shtfgear.com.

The ACE-1 Gen 2 holster offers several new features, including the Comfort CURVE®, a unique design that provides greater comfort by creating a curve in the normally flat backer. The ACE-1 Gen 2 also offers user-adjustable retention for greater reliability, thicker Kydex for maximum durability, increased Kydex coverage for a more secure fit, and a flared opening for greater ease of use. All of these features are included in the ACE-1 Gen 2 at the same price, $59.95, as the original ACE-1 holster.

While this second generation holster offers several design changes, it maintains all of the unique features that made the original ACE-1 a leading hybrid holster: durable Kevlar® stitching, 22 sizes of leather backers, precision-formed Kydex, premium American leather, adjustable ride height and cant, sweat guard cut for a full grip, and availability for over 200 different handguns.

Based out of northern Utah, SHTF Gear offers American-made equipment to support those that live ready to defend family, community, and self. The company began in 2010 and is a leading manufacturer of hybrid holsters and related accessories. Holsters and other gear may be purchased online at www.shtfgear.com or by calling (435) 261-ACE-1.

SHTF Gear is now offering pre-orders on the ACE-1 Gen 2 and if you use the code PREORDER, you’ll save 10%! I have already purchased one of these to check out and review so stay tuned!

“Andy” is Artificum Solis’ latest creation. This concealable fixed blade looks well suited to carry as a backup to your concealed carry firearm or for utility use.

The Andy features 3.5″ long, 1/8″ thick O1 Tool Steel blade that has a chisel primary grind with a V ground secondary edge. The blade has a Wharnecliffe profile that gives you plenty of point to work with and helps hold the material being cut on the cutting edge when slashing.

The handle slabs are hand textured micarta and the knife has a 3.5″ handle (7″ overall length). It comes with a kydex sheath.

Check out Andy at Artificum Solis Bladeworks.

Whiskey Two-Four Red Zipper Pulls

I have and use a bunch of Whiskey Two-Four zipper pulls. They laser cut them from Hypalon which is light weight and just about indestructible. These zipper pulls were only available in black or coyote brown but now Whiskey Two-Four has introduced a red version which can be used to indicate a that a pouch contains first aid items.

This is especially handy considering all of the various trays and inserts on the market that can be used to convert general purpose pouches into first aid pouches. There are also a number of first aid pouches on the market that are unmarked.

The pulls will feature a red cross logo which is fitting for their purpose. Those shown above are prototypes and Whiskey Two-Four states that the production versions, which are not available yet, will have more visible markings though the red color alone is likely enough to indicate the contents of the pouch.

There newest addition, the TORQ series of lights, is their most affordable yet but it still packed with the features that make First-Light unique.

The TORQ series lights run on 2 AA batteries which is a departure from their other lights which are powered with CR123A batteries. These lights are made from polymer and feature a swiveling head that allows the light to be mounted to your gear and aimed where you need it for hands free use.

Like First-Light’s previous offerings the TORQ lights feature secondary lights in various colors that are suited to different tasks. All of the light’s modes, like the 155 lumen constant output, strobe, and secondary colors are accessible through a multi-button interface.
