CRKT Field Strip Technology

By Matt on July 21, 2016 in EDC, Knives

I cringe whenever I see someone using a folding knife to process a game animal. I know it can be done and I’ve done it myself but all I can think about is what a pain it is going to be to clean the blood, fat, and hair out of the knife. Apparently, CRKT feels the same way because they created their new Field Strip Technology – a construction method that allows the knife user to easily open and clean a folding knife.

The Field Strip Technology is available first on a Ken Onion collaboration folder called the Homefront. By simply closing the knife, throwing a recessed, and loosening a thumb wheel, the Homefront can be seperated into component parts (see it in action below). Thankfully, it is designed so that small parts like washers, pivots, and the like are captive so that when you take the knife apart, you only have 3 parts.

You can learn more about Field Strip Technology in the video below or by visiting CRKT.

By Matt on July 20, 2016 in Survival

What if you could customize every aspect of a forged tomahawk as easily as ordering off a menu at a restaurant? That is exactly what Walk by Faith 777 offers. The northern Michigan based forge offers true custom, hand-made tomahawks at a reasonable price.

The sheer number of options available on these ‘hawks is amazing. You can choose between 17 different bit (blade) shapes with multiple sizes for most shapes. There are 9 different poll options including a variety of spikes and hammer polls. The metal can be finished with your choice of two finishes. Choose between one of 6 different haft options. If you want an end cap for the haft, there are 5 options including tapered options. There are options for the sheath’s color, snap, welt, opening side, and you can even add a monogram!

The number of options may sound overwhelming but these are all presented in a format that actually makes it very easy to order the exact custom tomahawk you desire. You simply view the provided pictures of each option and choose what you want from drop down menus. If there is an extra cost associated with the option, that is shown in the drop down menu.

Check out Walk by Faith 777’s custom tomahawk configuration page for more details.

Stout Gear Knives Redesigns the Oxe

By Matt on July 19, 2016 in Knives

Stout Gear Knives just introduced the Oxe V2. The original Oxe sported a slightly recurve blade and filled the large camp knife niche in their line. The new Oxe V2 still works as a large camp knife but it’s chopping credentials have been beefed up with a more radical recurve blade and new flatter grind geometry.

The new blade is not only more radically recurved at the cutting edge but it also has a recurved spine. The new shape looks great and puts the point more forward in the chopping stroke almost like a kukri. The blade is ground from 1/4″ thick S35VN steel, 10.5″ long, and is nearly 2″ tall from edge to spine so it confirms to most chopping competition regulations. Like nearly all Stout Gear Knives, the Oxe 2.0 has a large contoured handle with an integral guard.

The sheaths that Stout Gear includes with their knives are excellent. They use a unique construction method that features a welt like you find in a leather sheath. The outer parts of the sheath are molded kydex and the welt is fitted HDPE.

ACE Rail Sling Mount with QD

By Matt on July 19, 2016 in Guns

I have been using the original ACE Rail Sling Mounts (SMR) for years. I have always appreciated the simplicity of the design which is a simple sling loop, milled from a single block of aluminum, and clamped to the rail with a single bolt. Now ACE is offering a new version of the Rail Sling Mount with a QD sling swivel socket integrated into the design. This simple change adds a considerable amount of versatility and redundancy that will be welcomed by anyone who has had a QD swivel fail at a bad time.

These are not currently available at the ACE website. The are available from J&T Distributing.
