The Gryphon M-10, an absolute classic self-defense knife and one of the best kept secrets in the entire knife industry, is now available with a new sheath option. The new sheath is a kydex, pancake style belt sheath that is manufactured by Survival Sheath Systems who has been molding kydex longer than just about anyone. It is set up for a vertical draw and is available in black and coyote brown.

What do you get when you splice the DNA of a karambit and a pikal knife? Something pretty wicked like the PKM from Max Venom.
PKM stands for Pikal, Karambit Mix and it is a pretty good descriptor of what the PKM is. It features the distinctive finger ring of a karambit with the reverse edge that is typical of a pikal design.
This design is basically a response to those who want a larger version of Max Venom’s fairly well known karambit-based last ditch knife – the Karambite. Like the Karambit, the PKM is designed to be slim and easy to conceal at just 6.625″ of overall length. It is ground from S35VN steel and comes with a compact kydex sheath.

Every EDC/survival kit should include cordage. If you are looking for something more compact than the typical paracord, Gearward has a solution with their Compact Survival Cord.
Compact Survival Cord is just what it sounds like – a very compact way to carry emergency cordage. It is available in 3 different sizes: Micro, Mini, and Small. All 3 sizes are considerably smaller than a comparable amount of paracord. The Micro and Mini spools come with 25 and 60 feet respectively of 200 lb test Kevlar cord. The Small spool contains 50 feet of Technora line which has a break strength of over 600 lbs!
Gearward leveraged a very clever, compact spool design and the thinner diameter cordage to make the Compact Survival Cord easy to carry and easy to deploy.
Check out the Gearward website to see a ton of great application ideas for the Compact Survival Cord.
Katylist just took $30 off their already impressive price on the Banshee Defender System. This kit includes a Shellback Tactical Bansee Plate Carrier and 2 VTG Guardian 4SAS-7 LEVEL IV Stand Alone Armor Plates for $449.95. That is a turn key armor package for less than $450!
I have had a Sons Trauma Kit in hand for a couple of weeks now. I am still working on the review but I have been very impressed so far. You will always be able to find space for a kit this thin. It is just as much at home in a backpack as a plate carrier.
Phokus Research Group just released a new video that shows the features, benefits, and use of the Sons Trauma Kit.
