Swiss Bianco M-Sharp Sharpener

When it comes to touching up your knife’s edge in the field, there are few things more convenient than a small diamond sharpener and I can’t imagine a more convenient way to carry one than the Swiss Bianco M-Sharp.

The M-Sharp is a small diamond sharpener that can be carried in an ingenious way. The diamond sharpener is mounted on a blackened stainless steel backing that is hooked at each end which allows it to mount on MOLLE webbing. The M-Sharp also has a small lanyard hole for additional carrying options. The grit is somewhere between fine and medium according to the manufacturer.

Pro Tool Industries Tactical Knives

Pro Tool Industries, who you probably know as the manufacturer of the venerable Woodsman’s Pal, now has a line of tactical knives. They are jumping into the tactical knife market head first with a number of new designs from some talented designers.

Rob Walker, the mastermind behind Combative Edge, is behind several of the designs including the Praesidio series of combat and back-up knives. The new tactical offerings include everything from compact back-up knives to larger machete like survival knives. The knives use tough and proven carbon steels like 1075 for the larger models and 1095 for the smaller knives. The knives are black powder coated for corrosion resistance and come with very solid looking Kydex sheaths.

You can check out all of the new tactical knives on the ProToolIndustries.net New Product page.

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.

Combative Edge 2012 SALUS

Previous iterations of the SALUS from Combative Edge featured a “tanto” blade shape. As we mentioned in a previous post here on JTT, the SALUS will be getting a new drop point blade shape for 2012. Now the first images of that new blade shape are available.

The new blade shape should make an already useful design, even more functional as an all-around knife. It is hard to beat a drop point blade for versatility. You can pre-order all of the 2012 models now from Combative Edge. You can find more information and picture on the Combative Edge Facebook page.
