The Combat Master Knife Sheath from Spec Ops Brand is a classic piece of a gear. It is a functional knife sheath that can be mounted a variety of ways. I own several of them simply because most knives come with terrible sheaths and many custom knives come with no sheath at all.
Spec Ops Brand is trying to gauge interest in a leather version of the sheath and I have to admit, they look pretty darn cool. Share your opinion at SpecOpsBrand.com.
If you have seen a picture of the SAR Global Tool owner Spencer Reiter recently, chances are you noticed a slick little fixed blade on his belt. He has been carrying and refining the design for a long time now. The knife that we now know as the ODDjob is finally ready for public consumption.
The ODDjob is a compact, EDC worthy, 5″ fixed blade knife that can be carried on the user’s neck, belt, or wherever else you can stash it. It is hand ground from 1/4″ thick CPMD2 steel that has been hardened to HRc 59-60. The sheath is molded from Kydex and it features an adjustable lanyard.
Check out the clever lanyard that the ODDjob sports! It is a short section of paracord that is reinforced so that it is always open in a loop shape. The loop makes it easy to withdraw the knife from the sheath and retain the knife when you are working with it.
The ODDjob is available at SARGlobalTool.com.
The Side Plate Pouch EPIK from AR500 Armor is a another clever approach to stashing a life saving trauma kit on your gear. It is designed to fit a standard side plate pouch on an armor carrier.
The AR500 Armor Side Plate Pouch EPIK is available in a lower cost “light” version and a more complete version. Check them out at AR 500 Armor.
I recently came across MonoVaults at Brownells and, frankly, I’m not sure what to think of them. On one hand, they are water-resistant tubes that are made for caching valuables like firearms underground and that is pretty cool. On the other, it probably says something about our state of our nation that there is a product for this purpose being offered as an off-the-shelf item rather than the cobbled together PVC pipe tubes that are typically used.
You know the old saying about when it’s time to bury your guns…

Everything is better when it is modular. The new ChinookPAKs from Chinook Medical Gear represent a modular approach to first aid. Each consists of a LokSak full of items that pertain to a specific facet of first aid. You just pick the kits that suit your needs.
