Free Copy of ‘Self Reliance Illustrated’ Magazine
Monday, January 2nd, 2012
Get a free softcopy of ‘Self Reliance Illustrated’ magazine. I first ran across it at Blade Show 2011 in Habilis BushTools‘ booth. I picked up a few copies and due to my interest in wilderness survival topics I found it worth my money. ‘Self Reliance Illustrated’ is a product of The Pathfinder School and Blind Horse Knives. As you may know, The Pathfinder School is run by Dave Canterbury of the Discovery Channel show “Dual Survival.” The magazine is written for hands-on wilderness use and the articles are from those associated with The Pathfinder School in one way or another. One of the interesting facets of this publication is the inclusion of a section for youth.

Medford Knives: Deployment Line (which was Tactical Christmas Day One!)
Sunday, January 1st, 2012Medford Knife & Tool is launching two new lines of blades called the Commander Line and the Deployment Line. They are debuting at SHOT, where MKT will be taking orders. Now, what’s really cool about this is the very first knife off the Deployment production run is the knife that was won in the first “12 Days of Tactical Christmas contest we’ve been running (Day One was over on BOLO Report). They’re going to show off number one of the Deployment series (specifically the D-FMT, Deployment-Field Master Tanto) at SHOT and then ship it off to the winner.
If you didn’t like the 1ST Day of Tactical Christmas song about the Medford Knife, you may need to get a sense of humor issued to you.
“The Commander Line Field Master is one of the parent designs of the new Deployment Line,†Greg Medford told us when he offered it up as a prize. This 4-knife series is meant to be an awesome entry level knife for guys new to the American, hand-made knife scene and at .187â€(3/16â€) thick, is a slight departure from our Armageddon-Ready Commander Line.  The steel for that knife literally just went to the grinder last Thursday.â€
Medford Knife & Tool is using D2, a really good, high grade steel that has an old-school proven record in the knife industry. D2 is a quiet workhorse in America that has awesome properties for knives yet retails great value for what you get.  It’s high carbon, very corrosion resistant, abrasion resistant and holds what he describes as “a bitchin’ edge.† Both the Commander Line (which we’ll tell you about soon enough) and the Deployment Line are made of D2, and Greg makes ‘em thick. Like .270†thousandths, compared to other industry knives that are much thinner on average.
“We’re less concerned with squeezing every penny out of grinding and steel costs; than we are about using whatever thickness steel will get us the strongest tool for the job. We let people buy a production ground knife blank from our factory and then customize Deployment Line blades however they want…and we try to get it done within 18 days. So they can say, “I want it with a left hand reverse grip sheath, black blade,  with black micarta handles or whatever and we’ll get it squared away.â€
“We’ve been making some knives for the boys at Bridgeport, Stumps, VA Beach and points unknown that need ‘em now and in a certain way.  Looks like 2012 is gonna be a pretty crazy year for us.â€

Mossie Tactics MT2400FSB
Sunday, January 1st, 2012Mossie Tactics has designed a new 12 o’clock light position weaponlight mount that was recently covered by The BOLO Report. The MT2400FSB (Mossie Midnight Mount) is built for Mossie Tactics by BCE (BattleComp Enterprises). The MMM is an accessory slot designed to accept most popular pistol-mounted lights. It was designed specifically for LE and others personnel whose Policy and Procedure or SOPs do not allow them to modify their rifle (read the BOLO Report article for details). The MT2400FSB was tested on lights like the Procyon, Surefire X300, X200, Insight M3, Streamlight TLR-1 and others.
There is a special going on right now at BCE, which is closed until January 3RD (next Tuesday), 2012. The discount code (BCE4Q11) until New Year’s Eve, and any orders that come in prior to that date will ship on the 3RD.
Read the article on BOLO Report.
