Thulsa Doom Seal Of Approval
Tuesday, June 14th, 2016After the Team Wendy affair we realized that many savvy consumers of tactical gear are looking for products from manufacturers who are ideologically pure. Answering this call, we’ve created a new standard, a symbol of excellence named the “Thulsa Doom Seal Of Approval.”
Standards to qualify are high. A manufacturer must show that they and their employees have never hosted or attended a political rally for a Democrat or donated time or money to a Democrat or liberal politician, or cause. Companies must also attest that they vote party ticket Republican in all political races (Donations or voting for RINOs may be approved on a case by case basis). They must also provide documentation that their suppliers meet all of the same standards.
Additionally, in order to affix this mark of distinction to their products a company must prove that they make all of their products in the USA using US materials and US labor. What’s more, they cannot use any materials, products or equipment in their business that is made overseas or by a company that supports Democrats or liberal/leftist causes.
It’s a tough standard to meet, but those that do will be able to affix the approval of Thulsa Doom with pride on their products.

‘Lethal Force’ by Tony Long
Tuesday, June 14th, 2016
Some of SSDs readers, and those in the trade, may remember Tony from his time with Edgar Brothers but may not know that having retired in 2008 after 33 years service with the London Met and 25 years with the Met’s Specialist Firearms team, in 2014 he was charged with the death of an armed suspect who together with two others were on route to rob and kill rival drug dealers. Tony faced a murder trial in 2015 and was rightly acquitted. He has written the book ‘Lethal Force‘ to put the record straight and explain the difficulties of being an armed officer within a police service and a society that is predominately unarmed. I can’t wait to read it.

Gerber – 06 AUTO : 10TH Anniversary Knife
Tuesday, June 14th, 2016Coming July 1st, Gerber is releasing a 10th Anniversary version of their 06 AUTO.
To honor the heritage and time-tested durability of the 06 Automatic family of knives, Gerber introduces a special, commemorative edition of this military favorite. This knife celebrates a decade of service, developed specifically to support American service members deploying globally. With hundreds of thousands issued to Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Marines over the years, the iconic platform is a familiar favorite to many.
Features:
-An Olive Drab Cerakote® coated aluminum represents the Battle Dress Uniform (BDU) of American troops deploying early in OEF and OIF.
-A Stone Washed, Fine Edge, S30V blade pays homage to the unrelenting durability of the platform, battle tested globally.
-Unique laser mark. To commemorate 10 years of service, the laser engraving features a reverse flag. The reverse American flag originates from the action of early US cavalry and infantry carrying the flag into battle. Always charging forward, the flag would be seen with the stars in front and stripes flowing behind. Today, Army Regulation 670-1 addresses the application and wear of the flag on the uniform, ensuring that the “star field faces forward, or to the flag’s own right”. Rich in historical symbolism, the reverse flag represents the will and bravery of those deployed in service of the United States.
