Princeton Tec Byte Upgrade
Princeton Tec announced that the Byte is getting an output upgrade. The new version will boast 50 lumens versus 35 from the original model.
The Byte is one of my favorite headlamps because of its small size and functional red light option. It is also fairly inexpensive. Check out PrincetonTec.com.
Spyderco Enuff
I am not a big fan of many of the modern, high-end stainless steels for use in field knives. They are just too much of a pain to sharpen in the field. There are a handful of stainless steels that have managed to win me over for use in field knives and my favorite of those is VG-10. Given my appreciation for VG-10, I was thrilled to see that Spyderco has introduced a new line of no-frills utility knives made from the steel.
The Spyderco Enuff has three available blade shapes – Spyderco’s well known and much loved leaf shape, a clip point, and a sheepsfoot. Each will excel at different tasks. The leaf shape is probably the most versatile of the bunch, while the clip point has a tremendous amount of belly for dressing game. The sheepsfoot is a classic rescue knife design.
Spyderco outfitted these knives with contoured and textured FRN handles which are very functional. The texture is similar, if not identical, to what they typically use on their FRN handled folding knives. They are easy to clean and really lock the knife into your hand. Spyderco also provides a kydex sheath that offers a multitude of carry options.

Vigilant Gear Titanium Entry Card
A few weeks ago there were no credit card form factor lockpick sets made from titanium on the market. Now there are two. We have already reviewed the ITS Titanium Entry Card. The newest one is the Vigilant Gear Titanium Entry Card.
The Vigilant Gear Titanium Entry Card features 6 pieces. It comes with a Bogota Single, Bogota Double, Bogota Triple, Bogota Sabana, Short Hook, Double-Ended Tension Wrench. It also comes with a Tyvek sleeve to protect your credit cards from the pickset.
This is a very full featured pick set. I especially like the double-ended tension wrench. It is cut into the card at an angle so it can be as long as possible.
I am looking forward to trying this out. Stay tuned for a full review and a giveaway! In the mean time, check out VigilantGear.com.
Combative Edge 2012 Models
Combative Edge is known for offering knife designs that are grounded in the knowledge of what makes a defensive tool. Rob Walker, the man behind Combative Edge, is also an established edged weapon trainer and his knife designs are an outgrowth of his CEMAT system. These designs are also over-built enough to handle just about any utility chore you can throw at them all while costing less than a lot of comparable knives on the market.
Rob redesigned much of his line for 2012 and those knives are now available through his site. They were previously only available for pre-order but they are now in stock and ready to ship. Check out CombativeEdge.com.
