SALT LAKE CITY — February 17, 2026 — HUXWRX Safety Co. and Strider Knives today announced the release of the Black Magic suppressor and Strider SMF Black Magic in a controlled allocation of 50 serialized configurations. The specification was originally engineered and manufactured to meet elite military operational requirements and is being made available publicly for the first time.
Each suppressor and knife are precision laser engraved with matching serial numbers, permanently linking the components as a unified configuration.
“This configuration is beautifully refined in its execution, but make no mistake, it was engineered for operational performance,” said Vinnie Palucci, Director of Lethality at HUXWRX. “The Black Magic specification was built to meet a professional military requirement. These are functional systems first and collectible artifacts second. That priority has not changed.”
The Black Magic suppressor reflects HUXWRX’s patented Flow-Through technology, engineered to reduce back pressure and toxic gas exposure while maintaining structural integrity under sustained firing schedules. Designed for demanding professional environments, the system prioritizes shooter safety, reliability and performance consistency.
The Strider SMF is an established model with documented operational lineage and was the first folding knife issued to Marine Corps Special Operations Command Detachment One. Strider Knives has operated for more than 30 years and is recognized for tools built for demanding professional environments.
The SMF BLACK MAGIC features a 3.9-inch drop point blade constructed from CPM-20CV steel and a titanium frame lock body. The steel’s elevated chromium and vanadium content delivers high wear resistance, edge retention and corrosion resistance suited for harsh conditions. The knife measures 9 inches overall with a 5.1-inch titanium handle incorporating Strider’s proprietary Double Gunner Grip pattern, engineered to maintain traction in wet or debris-laden environments.
Both components are finished in HUXWRX’s proprietary PRISM2 coating. The configuration is available now at huxwrx.com/black-magic-x-strider-suppressor
GRAB is a versatile, modular solution designed for end-users who require a discreet, adaptable, and durable carry system. Engineered with mission-specific customization in mind, GRAB integrates seamlessly into both covert and overt operational environments, providing enhanced functionality without compromising on profile or comfort.
I first heard about Ferro Concepts’ GRAB last year at Enforce Tac from some friends in the British Forces who were using them.
At SHOT Show I got a chance to check it out and I’m impressed. The quality is high and it doesn’t come across as a “tactical” bag but rather something you’d see on a young executive heading to work. I’m adapting one for use as my Urban Bag of Doom.
Sized perfectly to fit something the size of like, say a SIG Rattler, GRAB also has from for “extras” which can be organized thanks to an internal Velcro field and Removable Interior Thermoplastic Composite MOLLE Insert. In addition to zippered compartments for documents the front flap features a Fidloc closure.
Offered in Black and Graphite.

Mystery Ranch will be exhibiting at next week’s Enforce Tac in Nürnberg, Germany at the Mehler stand. This will be my friend and MR International Sales Manager E-van’s first trip to Enforce Tac so stop by and catch up.
Sean Evangelista, known throughout the industry as “E-van”, is the new International Military Sales Manager for Mystery Ranch. He spent nearly 20 years in U.S. Navy Special Operations and later founded the apparel brand Thirty Seconds Out, which he successfully exited in 2024.
Before joining Mystery Ranch, Sean worked full-time as a mountain guide for four years, leading clients through mountaineering, backcountry skiing, ice climbing, rock climbing, alpine routes, and hut-to-hut treks. His guiding experience spans both Alaska and Colorado.
He began using Mystery Ranch packs during his time in Special Operations and continued relying on them throughout his guiding career — from expeditions to the summit of Denali to demanding backcountry ski and ice-climbing missions across Colorado. The packs became a constant in environments where reliability wasn’t optional.
Sean said, “I’ve used Mystery Ranch packs for years, long before working here was even on my radar, because they’re comfortable and they don’t fail you. That really matters when the terrain and the mission are high-consequence. With other brands, I’ve blown out stitching, bent aluminum frames, and torn more packs than I can count. That’s the last thing you want to deal with, especially on dangerous objectives. Mystery Ranch has never failed me.”
Sean will be at the EnforceTac tradeshow in Nuremberg, Germany, 23–25 February 2026, taking meetings at Mehler/Lindnerhof, Hall 7A, Booth 7A-333.
