5.11 Tactical Battery Case

I always have spare CR123 and AA batteries with me. I suspect that many of you do, too. I am always on the look out for a good way to keep them organized and at hand. 5.11’s new Tactical Battery Case looks like it may be a good solution.

The Tactical Battery Case is a small waterproof case that can carry up to 4 batteries (either AA or CR123) without allowing them to rattle. It utilizes a thumbscrew closure which 5.11 says is operable with gloved hands. It can be attached to MOLLE webbing or just carried loose in a pouch.

Kletterwerks Returns

We have been watching for the return of Kletterwerks ever since Soldier Systems Daily scooped the reformation of the iconic brand that was an early venture of Dana Gleason (founder of Mystery Ranch). Now the first of these retro packs that have been updated with some modern amenities are finding their way to retailers and they look great.These bags should be at home handling just about any chore from EDC to busting brush.

If you are looking for a tough as nails pack with a non-military appearance, you may want to check out the Kletterwerks offerings at Wilderness Workshop. The Kletterwerks website is still “Coming Soon.”

TOPS Knives TIBO

The knife world is infatuated with small, skeletonized handle neck knives for good reason. They are nearly as easy to carry as a folding knife but offer the strength of a fixed blade. TOPS Knives offers several knives that fit this description but their newest, the TOPS TIBO, is one of the best looking examples that I have seen.

The TOPS TIBO has a 6 1/2″ overall length with a 2 3/4″ blade. It is made from 1/8″ 1095 steel and features a sweeping curved edge with a full height flat grind. The handle is skeletonized to reduce weight and it has jimping to enhance grip in key places.

The TOPS TIBO certainly looks like a very useful knife. Check it out on TOPSKnives.com.

Bad Blood Knives Push Dagger at TacStrike

The Sean Kendrick designed Bad Blood Knives line from HallMark Cutlery is really making a name for itself as a high value brand. TacStrike has been carrying them for sometime now and the customer feedback has been great.

They recently received their first shipment of the Bad Blood Knives Push Dagger and they are offering some special deals to help spread the word. If you purchase a Push Dagger and an Arch Frame Target Carrier, you will receive 50% off the Push Dagger. Additionally, any purchase of a Push Dagger will also include a Bad Blood Sticker, a TacStrike Pin-Up-Girl Sticker and a Pocket Constitution.

Push daggers can be a very intuitive and easy to retain option for those who are looking to add self defense knife to their EDC. The user needs only to grip the knife properly and make a fist.

Fight and Flight Tactical YUCK II

At JTT, we love the original YUCK from Fight and Flight Tactical. Each of my daughters have one and they see constant use. So, we were excited to see that Dave at Fight and Flight Tactical is now making an upsized version, the YUCK II, that is designed for grade-schoolers just in time for back-to-school.

The new YUCK II is made with all the same great materials as the original YUCK. That includes 1000D nylon, full 420D pack-cloth lining, quality hardware, heavy duty mesh, and everything else that you would expect to see on a bomb-proof pack made for grown-ups. It has the same pocket configuration with a large main compartment, inner mesh slip pocket, mesh bottle/cup holders, and an exterior pocket for small items. It even features the same leash attachment points and oversize grab handle so you can keep your hand on junior in a crowd or grab them quickly when they are about to knock over a stack of soup cans at the grocery store.

There are a few differences between the YUCK and YUCK II. The first was already mentioned – it is larger (12″W x 15″T x 3″D). The YUCK II features a hydration sleeve with bladder hanger and port at the back of the main compartment and the shoulder straps have been moved higher to give extra room to accommodate bigger kids.
