Zulu Bravo Obscure Series G-10 Knives

Zulu Bravo’s new Obscure series of G-10 Knives have a few immediately noticeable advantages over many other non-metallic knives on the market. First, they come with a very good sheath. Second, the provided sheath is also non-metallic. These items are important because the Obscure series knives are sharp enough to cut and really require a sheath and strangely, many non-metallic knives come with sheaths that contain metal eyelets.

The Obscure series consists of 3 models. The “Fruit Peeler” version draws obvious inspiration from the Victorinox paring knives that have become popular complete with indexing groove. The “Sharpfinger Pikal” is based on Zulu Bravo’s modified Schrade Sharpfinger knives and comes with a resin soaked wrapped handle. Finally, the “Mini Koh” is an extremely slim and compact offering with a textured handle. All three versions .25″ thick G-10.

Praetor Pocketblade from Ronin Energetics

There have been a number of knives targeted at the EDC market that make use of disposable utility knives. Typically, they feature some kind of folding or sliding mechanism that allows the blade to be stowed safely. The new Ronin Energetics Praetor Pocketblade, with its fixed blade design, seems to be an entirely new idea when it comes to these utility blade based EDC knives.

The Praetor Pocketblade is, in its most basic form, a holder for a disposable utility blade. The design appears to harken back to designs like the Perrin La Griffe to offer solid grip and retention. The materials are also very modern with the blade holder being machined from a solid piece of carbon fiber or G-10 composite for both rigidity and light weight.

The Praetor Pocketblade does not fold, so Ronin Energetics has devised two ways of carrying it safely. The first option is a locking belt sheath that matches the modern design of the blade holder. The sheath retains the blade via magnets. They also have a more simple magnetic blade guard that simply covers the edge of the utility blade.

There is obviously of lot of details that I am glossing over. You can read much more about the Praetor Pocketblade on the Kickstarter Campaign Page (where it has already more than doubled its funding goal): Praetor Pocketblade on Kickstarter

TacBeltz Pull Pouch

The TacBeltz Pull Pouch is designed to carry items like multitools, flashlights, and magazines. As the name suggests, the belt mounted Pull Pouch has a clever design that lifts the contents of the pouch as the user pulls the flap, making the contents easier to grasp. The full coverage, hook and look secured flap provides good retention, while the pull-to-lift flap ensures fast, fumble-free retrieval.

The pouches are made from the same durable scuba webbing that TacBeltz uses on their belts. They are available in two sizes and multiple colors.

Bastion Crowdfunding Newest Version of Braza EDC – The Braza Bro Cleaver

You may have noticed that cleaver style blades are in right now. These mostly straight edged knives have a striking appearance and happen to be very well suited to EDC cutting tasks. It also happens to be a blade style that looks great in Bastion’s popular Braza family of knives.

Bastion is currently in the middle of a crowdfunding campaign for the new Braza Bro Cleaver. It would be a bit of an understatement to say that it has been a successful campaign so far considering they have blown away their $5000 funding goal.

This tiny flipper knife delivers a lot at its sub-$40 price (depending on options). It is available with a number of options including stainless or titanium handles and a D2 or S35VN steel blade. The blade rides on ceramic ball bearings to provide easy opening via the flipper. The pocket clip is reversible for either left or right side tip up carry.

The Gadsden Dynamics EDC Wallet is Now Available

We first told you about the Gadsden Dynamics EDC Wallet when it was still in testing. Now it is in production and available to order.

The idea behind this product is simple. You don’t always have pockets especially when you are working out. Sometimes you have pockets but can’t really trust them to retain anything or they may be full of other items like a backup handgun in pocket holster. That is where the EDC Wallet comes in. It is a flexible, elastic pocket designed to hold some basic items like cards, cash, ID, and a flashlight on your belt.
