SAKModder

By on March 31, 2017 in EDC, Knives

Let’s say you want a Swiss Army Knife with a pocket clip or you wish you could find one with anodized matte black scales. Maybe you have always wanted a combination of tools that Victorinox has never offered or you want a full on custom with skeletonized scales, a custom brass magnifier, and wild colors anodized on the scales. SAKModder can do all that.

SAKModder, aka Robert Lessard, can do all kinds of custom work on Swiss Army Knives. Some modders can just combine tools or change scales for you. SAKModder dives deeper than that, even going so far as to manufacture custom parts. The results speak for themselves.

If you have a custom SAK project in mind, look at SAKModder’s website or get in touch via Instagram (bring a drool napkin).

KA-BAR TDI Shark Bite

By on March 23, 2017 in EDC, Knives

KA-BAR’s newest addition to the TDI line is likely it’s most discreet. The new Shark Bit has the familiar angled blade to handle relationship for which the rest of the TDI knives are known. However, unlike previous offerings, the Shark Bit is made completely of polymer – Ultramid® to be specific. The knife and sheath are completely non-metallic except for the included ball chain neck lanyard which does not have to be used.

The sheath is worth pointing out in some detail. Many manufacturers make non-metalic knives and then use metal eyelets or clips in the sheath which, of course, defeats the purpose of a non-metallic knife. The sheath KA-BAR includes with the Shark Bite appears to be truly non-metalic and features enough attachment points to allow for a variety of carry methods.

The blade is 2.625” long (legal in most jurisdictions) and the overall length is 5.125”. It weighs under 2.5 ounces and is made in the USA.

Sneak Peek: TOPS Knives Hammer Hawk Prototype Sheath

By on March 16, 2017 in Knives, Survival

TOPS Knives rolled out several new products at SHOT Show and the Hammer Hawk was likely the most talked about. The details of the full-tang tomahawk were mostly ironed out at the time of the show but TOPS did state that they were still working on the sheath for both the tomahawk its companion knife.

Now we have this sneak peek of the prototype sheath set up. Details are likely to change on the production version but this gives us a sold idea of what we can look forward to. It looks like TOPS will have a belt sheath for the companion knife and a bit cover that still allows the user access to the Hammer Hawk’s hammer poll when installed.

TOPS also tells us that the Hammer Hawk is likely not going to make it retail until sometime the last half of 2017 (Q3 or Q4).

BLADETRICKS Stop Switch

By on February 22, 2017 in EDC, Knives

If you took a push knife and stripped it down to its barest essentials, it might look something like the BLADETRICKS Stop Switch. The spike like “blade” flares to a rounded handle with G10 scales that rests against the palm the same way the handle on a push dagger would. This compact, minimalist design makes Stop Switch easy to carry and intuitive to use.

The Stop Switch is custom made by BLADETRICKS so the specs vary from knife to knife. The one shown below with yellow G10 handle slabs is ground from 3mm thick 6150 steel with an overall length of 70mm (2.75″). You can view it and other custom knives at BLADETRICKS.net.
