Blade Show 18 – Brous Blades MFCEO

Monday, June 4th, 2018

If you recognize the initials MFCEO, then you’ll immediately realize who Brous Blades made this knife for.

33680371-FF95-4969-B04F-22CDDDB41242

If not, that’s the moniker James Yeager goes by. He liked the style of the TDI, but was looking for a knife that filled out the hand a bit more, so Jason Brous machined the G10 handle swells to fit the hand perfectly in a forward or reverse grip.

The blade is D2 Steel and it comes with a Kydex sheath by NSR Tactical.

Also available in an aluminum trainer version.

Blade Show 18 – Abraham & Moses Survival Equipment AM-1

Monday, June 4th, 2018

I love the story behind Abraham & Moses Survival Equipment. It’s about family.

Abraham & Moses Survival Equipment was founded on a young man’s dream. Bill Geissele was reading stories of backwoods adventures and survival to his son, Abraham. The stories described the age old battle between man and the elements, focusing on the equipment which proved invaluable to man’s survival. Abraham’s interest and imagination were piqued. “Dad, I want to make knives”, the young lad said; and a company named for Bill Geissele’s sons, Abraham and Moses, was born.

At Blade Show, they showed me their new Ferritic Nitro Carbonizing Coating for the AM-1 Knife. With an overall length of 9.5” and a D2 blade measuring 4.6”, it features a full tang construction. G10 handles are available in a variety of colors.

Blade Show 18 – Master Proven Updates Zek

Monday, June 4th, 2018

Master Proven released the Zek (pronounced “Zeek” as in Ezekiel) belt axe with DDR’s DGT Gear line at NRA Show and already it’s been included in a survival kit by another manufacturer.

A hunter recently asked if they could add a glow-in-the-dark handle to the CPM 154 full tang axe so it wouldn’t be misplaced while processing game at the end of the day.
