Prometheus Design Werks – The Griffin
Wednesday, January 28th, 2015
Prometheus Design Werks has just come out with their first in-house knife, The Griffin. Precision machined from Bohler M390, a premium Austrian blade steel, The Griffin is a skeletonized fixed blade design. The blade is 4″ long, and the spine of the blade features PDW’s proprietary Strikeback feature, a CNCed multi-bevel and arch, function-specific design which is intended to effectively strike ferrocerium rods.
The skeletonized handle features dual lashing points, as well as a combination pry tip/cat’s paw nail puller, which has use with opening cans, breaking glass, reusing nails for emergency shelters, and more. Full length jimping insures a solid grip even with a wet hand, and full chamfering around all the perpendicular edges adds comfort and ease in the hand.
The Griffin comes complete with a Kydex sheath with Tek-Lok mounting hardware.
Available in four finishes: FDE, Matte Black, Milspec OD Green, and Stonewash. The Griffin is made in the USA.

SKD Exclusive – Mountain Hardwear Zerna Military Beanie in MultiCam
Tuesday, January 27th, 2015I know it’s been out there awhile but it’s snowmageddon in the NorthEast so I thought I’d share.
It’s a one-size-fits-most beanie that will go great under a helmet in cold weather. Sure, it’s MultiCam but if the Smadge asks, just tell him its OCP.

Big Agnes – Chair One in Blue Tiger Camo
Tuesday, January 27th, 2015This is my OR Winter Market alibi. I ran across this Blue Tiger Camo version of the Chair One and wanted to buy one before I told you about them. Unfortunately, they are sold out, but still very cool in my opinion.
I’ve got an OD version of this 1.9 lbs, folding camping chair and love it. Hopefully, they’ll get more in stock.
