The LOW VIS IWB Med Kit from Rogue Gunfighter is now available for pre-order. It is available to be purchased as a pouch only or fully stocked with a selection of medical supplies. The pouch is designed to be worn inside the waistband (or outside) so you can discreetly carry a blow out kit just as you would a handgun. The contents of the kit are pretty typical but the pouch is very clever.

Tactical Handyman: Pocket Clip Grip Tape
When you withdraw a folding knife that is clipped in your pocket, you typically place your thumb on the grip of the knife and your index finger on pocket clip. This leaves you with just one finger on the slick, texture-less clip as you attempt to produce your knife. The more aggressive the texture on a knife handle is, the harder it will be to withdraw from the pocket which has always left me wondering why knife makers don’t add texture to the pocket clips of their knives.
The Tactical Handyman doesn’t wait for knife makers to wise up. He just adds his own texture easily and inexpensively with grip tape. Here is how he does it.
Materials:
- Knife of your choice
- Grip tape (the Tactical Handyman prefers 3M 7635NA Safety-Walk because it doesn’t shed its grit everywhere)
- Scissors
- Rubbing alcohol
Instructions:
Tactical Handyman projects don’t get much easier than this.
- Cut the grip tape to fit. Be careful to round any sharp corners as this will help prevent the tape from lifting over time. You can cover as much of the pocket clip as you want. I usually just put a bit of grip tape on the top portion of the clip.
- Prep the surface of your knife’s pocket clip by cleaning it with rubbing alcohol. Make sure it is dry before moving to the next step.
- Stick the grip tape on your knife’s pocket clip.
It is just that easy. You can do this to all of your pocket knives in just minutes. When you are done, take your knife for a test drive. You will notice that is much easier to get out of your pocket.
Try this in conjunction with the Cable Tie Knife Opener.

Knife Rights is Getting Things Done
If you aren’t familiar with Knife Rights, you need to be. They are to knives what the NRA is to firearms and they get results. They recently released this statement outlining some of their recent victories:
The results speak for themselves. Knife Rights is America’s most effective knife owners advocacy organization! As we BLADE Show, it’s time to review the extraordinary accomplishments of Knife Rights so far this year. 2013 has been our most productive year yet, building upon our prior successes to create an even Sharper Future™.
Some naysayers argued that political reaction to the Newtown tragedy would make it impossible for us to make headway this year, but we were not convinced. Turns out we were right!
Knife Rights passed FIVE more Pro-Knife Bills this year!
Knife Rights passed Switchblade Ban Repeals in FOUR more states this year!
Knife Rights passed Knife Law Preemption in THREE more states this year!Persistence pays off. Our success in passing legislation in Kansas, Alaska and Indiana was the culmination of a two-year effort in those states. This is testament to our determination and understanding of the legislative process. A setback is not defeat. We’ll always come back stronger the next time around.
In every state where we claim success, it is the result of aggressive lobbying by Knife Rights on the ground in the state capitol, working closely with legislators to get pro-knife legislation passed.
Knife Rights Successes in 2013:
– Kansas Knife Law Preemption, Ban on Switchblades, Dirks, Daggers & Stilettos Repealed
– Alaska Knife Law Preemption, Ban on Switchblades Repealed
– Tennessee Knife Law Preemption
– Indiana Ban on Switchblades Repealed
– Texas Ban on Switchblades Repealed
– New Jersey Opposed Anti-Knife BillIn addition, our Federal Civil Rights Lawsuit against New York City and New York District Attorney Cyrus Vance, Jr. continues, with significant successes in the past year. Earlier this year Knife Rights submitted Experts’ Reports that support our positions made in our pleadings. Neither NYC nor the DA filed any Expert Reports. Depositions of our experts are scheduled to be held in New York City the middle of June.
With your support, no organization in the history of pro-knife legislation has accomplished more in less time than Knife Rights. No organization has been more effective at proactively fixing bad knife laws than Knife Rights.
