Heads Up: New Get Off Me Tools from FLC Knives Dropping Soon

By on August 26, 2022 in EDC, Knives

FLC Knives will release some variants of their Get Off Me Tool No.6 sometime this weekend. The drop will include the Stubby and Reverse Edge Stubby versions of the No.6.

These tools are extremely compact, which coupled with their excellent sheath, makes them easy to carry in a number of ways. They go from belt line carry to plate carrier easily.

If you are familiar with these drops, you’ll know they sell out quickly. The best way to get an edge in securing one is to get on the FLC Knives newsletter.

You can learn more at the FLC Knives website and their Instagram where tons of info about this upcoming drop has already been posted.

Regiment Blades

By on June 14, 2022 in EDC, Knives

Colonel Blades designed knives are back in the form of a new company, Regiment Blades! Colonel Blades was known for their distinctive, self-defense knives touted as being very intuitive to use. The designs featured a generous index finger ring for retention and a dagger blade that is angled in relation to the grip to promote a strong wrist position. In short, these are well-regarded, purpose-driven knives.

The new company has initially listed non-metallic versions of their knives for purchase with several new versions coming soon. Interestingly, Regiment Blades appears to be based in Hartland, WI which is also the home of one of the largest original Colonel Blades distributors, BCM.

Look for more information as it becomes available.

Station IX Knives and More

By on May 20, 2022 in EDC, Knives

Station IX deserves a few minutes of your time. According to their website:

We specialize in the development of unconventional tools and weapons for combatives and survival in austere environments and occupied zones.

According to me, they may very interesting defensive tools that are both historically inspired and informed by modern-day best practices at reasonable prices. For instance, their take on the OSS, the NUMBER FOUR, is both instantly recognizable as an iconic last-ditch weapon but also has modern cutlery steel, a well-sorted out kydex sheath, and an aestetic that blurs the line between new and old.

Shown: NUMBER 5 (top) and NUMBER 6 (bottom)

They also produce more modern knives like the NUMBER FIVE which is instantly recognizable as a Fred Perrin design. Even this knife seems give off the aura of being both vintage and something entirely new at the same time.

I guess what I am saying is Station IX is doing something new. They seem to be creating production knives that are both interesting in terms of design and function at a price that is competitive in their space.

Friedberg Fabrication Spetsnaz Shovels

By on May 18, 2022 in Knives, Outdoor Gear

Freidberg Fabrication is a custom woodturning/carpentry shop that makes all kinds of cool things like custom clubs, picks, batons, and more. One of their latest creations is a turned Spetsnaz Shovel. The turning looks great and enhances grip.

This was too cool not to share. These shovels are the ultimate in function over form… but no one says they can’t go just a little harder on the form part of the equation.

TOPS Knives Camp Creek Fire Edition

By on May 12, 2022 in Knives

The original Camp Creek was designed as a hunting/camp knife and was the first knife TOPS made using CPM S35VN steel. It has been one of the best-selling hunting knives produced by TOPS to date.

The Camp Creek Fire Edition is meant to be a separate option from the original Camp Creek, but Leo designed it by starting with the original and making a few changes he thought would give people another option that is still similar.

It has more belly and a less pointy tip. So skinning is a dream. You don’t have to worry as much about puncturing a hide and you can get long, smooth cuts. The handle has been widened and adjusted to give the user more purchase specifically for skinning animals. Both versions serve similar purposes in different ways, and both are a great addition to your collection.
