Zulu Bravo Kydex just rolled out the newest addition to their line of non-metallic defensive tools – the Dart. This compact tool has a push dagger-like shape and is ground from G-10. The geometry of the blade hints at is purpose as more of a puncturing device than a slashing device.
The Dart isn’t available on the Zulu Bravo website yet but it will be shortly. It is expected to retail around $75.

Wingard Wearables is making tomahawks that are probably unlike any you have seen before. Their Backripper Tomahawk is extremely compact but still offers excellent reach. It’s forged W1 tool steel head has a main cutting bit designed to pierce and a hooked spike designed to, like its name suggests, rip backs. See the video below for details.
The Backripper Tomahawk has a hickory handle with a rectangular cross section to index the tomahawk in hand and prevent it from rotating. The flat shape also allows the tomahawk to lay flat against the wearer’s leg. Wingard Wearable applies texture to the handle with a hot file.
The Buzzard is a compact fixed blade produced by Spanish knife maker Hydra Knives. This EDC knife can do more than cut. It has a number of other multitool-like features including a firesteel scraper, a hex wrench, and the ability to accept interchangable screwdriver bits.
The Buzzard is made from 5mm thick, 1.4116 steel (similar to 420HC in the US, which is a solid working steel). The overall length is 6.7″ and the blade length is 3.35″. The included kydex sheath can be mounted in variety of ways and has a clever hole that allows the screwdriver function to work while the blade is covered.
Hydra Knives is launching this knife on Kickstarter where it was fully funded within 48 hours. Check out the Buzzard on Kickstarter.
The new Rapid Strike, from TOPS Knives, is a slim fixed blade knife designed with concealment in mind…
Everything about the Rapid Strike makes it an excellent combatives blade. The cutting edge is long enough for good slashing cuts and thrusts. It can be single or double-edged to meet legal requirements or be even more dangerous. The G10 handle is strong and grippy and combined with the recessed jimping that goes all the way around the handle, it’s easy to keep it in your hand when you need it the most. The sheath was designed to allow for a combat grip straight out of the sheath (meaning the hand doesn’t have to be readjusted to grip the handle properly after it’s removed from the sheath). The thin blade material and narrow profile take up little space on a belt, on a vest, in a boot, or wherever else you choose to carry it. 154CM stainless steel was chosen to provide a strong blade with little maintenance needed to keep it clean and sharp.
So whether you’re deployed to one of the current hot spots around the world, serving and protecting in your neighborhood, or just a prepared citizen who wants something to help get you home safe, the Rapid Strike is perfect for you. Plus it makes a great steak knife too.
