Titanium Norton’s Universal Cleaning Stick from CountyComm

By on July 13, 2017 in EDC, Guns

I am a sucker for CountyComm and their eclectic assortment of gadgets that I didn’t know I needed. I think I placed my first order there when I was in college, likely around 2000 or 2001. The first order was followed by several more over the years and one of those early orders included the handy Norton’s UCS or Universal Cleaning Stick.

CountyComm just introduced a new version of the UCS in titanium. The original plastic UCS is great for light scraping, pushing rags into nooks and crannies while cleaning, and even for setting stubborn pins or detents in tight spots. I expect that the titanium version would do all of that but could be even better at setting pins because of the additional rigidity. As you can see in the image above, the more rigid titanium also allows the UCS to turn screws – another trick that the original couldn’t really do effectively.

The new Quick Adjust Sling from Gear Dynamics features a slider of their own design that is machined from 6061-T6 aluminum with a hard anodized finish. The design allows the sling to adjust for length quickly with no loose ends.

This sling is made with mil spec webbing through out, ITW Acetal Triglides at the ends for attaching to most common sling mounts, 1″ steel welded loop for the link point between the two sling halves, and the components are double bar tacked for added strength. These weigh in at just 2.6oz or 74g and are available in 17 different colors.

Gear Dynamics is a Canadian company, so with the conversion rate to USD, this sling comes in at less than $32 at the time of this article.

The TOPS Knives Tanimboca Puukko is Now Available

By on July 12, 2017 in Knives

The story and man behind the TOPS Knives Tanimboca Puuko is fascinating. The designer, Goran Mihajlovic, was born in Serbia, grew up in Germany, and now lives in Columbia where he owns a nature preserve called Tanimboca. He makes knives there, including Puukos which are his favored design. The Tanimboca Puuko is the brain child of Serbian born, German raised knifemaker who makes traditional Scandinavian knives in Columbia. That is pretty cool in my book.

The Tanimboca Puuko is now one of the only production, full tang Puuko designs on the market. It is sure to be popular among the bushcraft crowd.

According to TOPS:

The TOPS version of his design mixes traditional elements with TOPS’ style. It has the classic Puukko blade with a very slight clip point. The spine is ground to 90 degrees for scraping tasks. Well-rounded Tan Canvas Micarta handles with red liners honor the traditional style. The knife sits deep in the leather sheath. Add a breakaway chain or paracord and it can easily be worn as a neck knife when needed. Once you get your hands on the Tanimboca Puukko, you won’t want to put it down.
