GATCO Scepter 2.0

By on March 8, 2013 in EDC, Knives, Preparedness, Survival

If you are going to carry a knife in the field, you should probably carry a knife sharpener too. The GATCO Scepter 2.0 Serration and Knife Sharpener has a few features that might make it ideal as a field sharpener.

GATCO Scepter 2.0

The Scepter 2.0 has a pull-through style tungsten carbide style sharpener at one end that can help keep a working edge on your knife. The other end is threaded with a removable insert. The insert has a tapered diamond sharpening rod that can be used to sharpen serrations and be removed to reveal a ferro rod type fire starter. The addition of the fire starter allows the Scepter 2.0 to replace 2 pieces of gear.

CRKT Kangee and Chogan Tomahawks

By on February 8, 2013 in Knives, Survival

To say that Ryan Johnson from RMJ Tactical knows a thing or two about tomahawks would be an understatement. He recently collaborated on 2 tomahawks, the Kangee and Chogan,with CRKT and people are understandably excited about them.

CRKT T-Hawks

Both tomahawks feature full tang construction from .23″ thick SK5 Carbon Steel which is a great choice for its toughness and reasonable price. They come with PALS compatible kydex sheaths and glass filled nylon handle slabs. The Kangee features a spike poll and a fully sharpened top edge that runs from the bit to the poll. The Chogan has a hammer poll and the top edge is only partially sharpened for the length of the bit.

New Bad Blood Knives at TacStrike

By on December 31, 2012 in EDC, Knives, Tactical Gear

The Sean Kendrick designed line of Bad Blood Knives are becoming pretty well known as a high value knife line. Four new knives were just added to the line and TacStrike has them first!

TacStrike Bad Blood New Arrivals

These knives have features like G-10 scales, mosaic pins, and functional molded sheaths but they retail for less than $55 in most cases. The models are available at TacStrike about a month before they will be available anywhere else. The Paradigm and fixed blade version of the Dreadnaught interest me most. These are working designs with strong points, usable sheaths, and great all-around size.

Spyderco Enuff

By on December 17, 2012 in EDC, Knives, Survival, Tactical Gear

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.

Spyderco Enuff

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.
