Pocket D.A.R.K. Mini from Dark Angel Medical
What weighs less than 5 ounces, is slightly larger than a pack of cigarettes, and just might save your life? The answer is a Glock 26 or, for the purposes of this post, it’s the Pocket D.A.R.K. Mini from Dark Angel Medical.
You may recall that Dark Angel Medical already makes a pocket trauma kit. However, this new “Mini” version is even smaller and lighter. It includes the following:
- SWAT-T Tourniquet – This can be used as a tourniquet or a pressure dressing. It is also extremely compact when rolled.
- Celox Rapid Ribbon – This is a narrow hemostatic gauze that is 1″ wide and 5′ long.
- Gloves – Obviously, it is preferable to not to catch cooties from some guy’s blood.
- 2′ of Duct Tape – This can be used a number of ways including turning the 3 mil thick plastic packaging into a occlusive chest dressing.
This is obviously a very minimalist kit and it certainly limits your options but this is also a kit that you might actually carry. It’s four simple contents are versatile and compact which is pretty much all you can ask from a compact trauma kit.

Crossbreed Holsters Purse Defender
I have never carried a purse but even I can recognize that most purses intended for concealed carry are ugly, somewhat obvious, and offer a painfully slow draw stroke due to poor access. I am not sure that the Crossbreed Holster Purse Defender solves all those issues but at least it turns a normal purse into one capable of safe concealed carry.
The Purse Defender consists of a rigid loop Velcro panel and a hook Velcro backed holster. The panel can be placed in the purse (or briefcase, attache, etc) and then the holster can be placed on the panel at a location and angle that suits the user’s draw stroke. The panel can also be used to mount additional accessories like the optional magazine carrier.

Blackout 550 Paracord from BladeHQ
I know that paracord with black inner strands isn’t really going to do anything that normal paracord can’t and yet I don’t want it any less. This Blackout 500 Paracord from BladeHQ is the coolest thing I have seen all day!
Three Circle Knives Satori Tanto
The Satori Tanto from Three Circle Knives harkens back to the traditional Japanese tanto but brings some decidedly modern innovation to the age old design. The Satori Tanto is ground from 440C stainless steel and features a 6.5″ long American tanto shaped blade. The handle is wrapped with paracord in various colors. Each knife is Cerakoted in either satin silver, FDE, or black and comes with a Kydex sheath.
The cord for the handle wrap is retained by the Satori Tanto’s single guard and flared pommel. Both the guard and pommel are actually an integral part of the knife which is machined from a solid billet of steel. Integral designs are not necessarily new but I have never seen them used quite like this to retain a cord wrap.
The Satori Tanto is certainly a handsome knife with its long, graceful curve at the spine combined with the angular American tanto style edge and a design that manages to appear both traditional and modern at the same time. Check out the Satori Tanto at Three Circle Knives.
