GSS Giving Away Medford Knife

Friday, September 21st, 2012

In honor of reaching 3000 ‘likes’ on Facebook, GSS Gear is giving away a Medford Knife & Tool TFF-3. It’s a sleek, yet sturdy, take on Greg’s beast folding knives. Like all of his folders it features a low part count and it’s incredibly easy to care for. This thing has a titanium solid scale, an aluminum lock scale, custom titanium hardware, and the blade is NP3 coated D2. This tool is meant to resist corrosion from even salt water! You can get to work and when it’s dirty you can literally wash it in the sink. It has an ambi thumb stud that turns out, can also be used as a bottle opener. The knife they are giving away is one of only a hundred made. $150 from each knife went to the families of the fallen men from the helicopter crash 8/6/2011 through the Navy League. The knives GSS bought bought are not stamped X/100 because these knives are meant to be used! Sure, a limited edition knife can be put in a case or drawer, but there’s too much utility in this knife to let it sit around.

How do you own this fantastic knife? Simple, you must like the giveaway post on Facebook, comment on the post, and share the post. You must also like GSS gear and make sure your likesshares are viewable to others or else we won’t know!

On Monday October 15th GSS Gear select a random name from those that liked/comment/reposted and award them a pocket full of awesome.

SSD’s War Sport Lower On Its Way

Friday, September 21st, 2012

Back in August we told you about War Sports’ limited run of lowers. After speaking them about the lowers we decided to pull the trigger on one. They are built on Legion Firearms lowers and we had been impressed with them since meeting during SHOT Show earlier this year.

Kickstarter – IO Cover: One-Handed, Built-in Lens Caps for Micro Optics

Thursday, September 20th, 2012

Joseph Chen came up with a rather interesting idea. in a nutshell –

IO Cover built-in lens caps – always ready. Open, close & stow with one hand. Rain or sand, see when you need it most.

The name IO was inspired by the way the cap and optic look head on when the cap is stowed. You flip the front and rear caps open, and they lock together so there’s no flapping in the breeze. Additionally, the optic is now armored against minor damage and camouflaged in a variety of colors.

Chen turned to Kickstarter to crowd source his funding, so let’s give him a hand. SSD put their money where their mouth is.
