The Becker Knife & Tool BK10 Crewman is Returning

I always thought that the BK10 Crewman was the most practical Becker knife available during the days when Camillus still made the Becker Knife & Tool line. The Crewman is basically just a shortened version of the larger BK7. It is similar in size to the currently available Campanion but is 3/16″ thick rather than 1/4″ thick like the Campanion. This made it a better cutter while still retaining more than enough durability for anything you should be asking a knife to do. Thankfully, Ka-Bar reintroduced the Crewman at the 2013 SHOT Show and it should be available again soon.

The Becker Crewman knives are already listed at BladeHQ and should be in stock soon.

Custom Becker Knife & Tool Handles from The-Knife-Connection

T-K-C Becker Handles

Our friends at The-Knife-Connection are now offering G-10 handle scales for the Becker Knife & Tool 2, 3, 5, 7, 9 & 10 Series knives. They make the nicest and most functional handles around for most of the ESEE line and now they are applying that same know-how to the Becker line-up.

These scales are CNC machined and for a precise fit. They are designed to work with the factory sheath which means you don’t have to have a custom sheath made to fit the handles. The handle scales are available in a variety of colors that range from very subdued to very highly visible.

Check out the Becker Knife & Tool Handles from The-Knife-Connection.

Manticore Arms Logo Patch

Manticore Arms, maker of excellent muzzle devices and other good stuff, has a great logo. I mean, its a picture of a manticore and you are no doubt aware that manticores are pretty cool. While “real” manticores looked pretty mean, the manticore in the Manticore Arms logo looks downright loveable. Who wouldn’t want one of these little guys stuck to their tactical gear?

Victory Tactical Gear RTP26225 Rifle Plate Test

VTG Banshee Defender System

Just yesterday I mentioned the Banshee Defender System from Victory Tactical Gear and Shellback Tactical. I commented that I wasn’t aware of any formal testing of the RTP26225 plates that are included in the package. Lo and behold, Victory Tactical Gear posted a video about the plate yesterday evening. It isn’t what you would call formal testing but it is a good baseline for the plate’s performance.

Victory Tactical Gear Banshee Defender System

VTG Banshee Defender System

Our friends at Shellback Tactical have partnered with Victory Tactical Gear (VTG) to offer a package deal, the Banshee Defender System, that includes two of VTG level IV stand-alone plates along with a Shellback Tactical Banshee Plate Carrier. The package sells for $480. I haven’t seen any formal testing of these plates but, for what it’s worth, the anecdotal accounts of their performance have been good. I can also relate that the Banshee is a reasonably comfortable PC for stand-alone plates, even single curve plates like these, since the plate pockets are padded.

Check out the Banshee Defender System.
