We found this example in the Safariland booth all jocked up for a dynamic entry. It gives you a great idea of how well accessories blend in with the base uniform in this pattern.

Hyperstealth, Is There Something in the Water?
Saturday, January 16th, 2010Truthfully, I wasn’t even sure what title to give this article. I could do the journalist thing and give it a sensationalized headline, or I could call it like I see it. I chose the hybrid approach.
Hyper Stealth recently posted a new page on their website with the assertion that the Crye developed Multi Terrain Pattern is “far from original”. What makes absolutely no sense is the lack of evidence that this is the case.
The article claims that: “In 2003-2004 Guy Cramer, President/CEO of HyperStealth, worked with the Infantry Trials Development Unit (ITDU) (U.K. Ministry of Defence) on new camouflage patterns before being told that the ITDU was unable to continue working with him as he was not a British Citizen.”
Ok, got it. Six years ago they did some work for the MoD but have no connection to the recent British camo development effort. Maybe the bone of contention here is that Crye Precision is also a non-British firm yet was allowed to work on British camo. For the record, Caleb Crye is not Canadian, but rather born in the USA.
At any rate, the article goes on to showcase almost 50 patterns or variants of various camo patterns “which bear a close resemblance to the new British Pattern.” We see some patterns which use similar colors and others which don’t. Furthermore, they fail to show any of the distinct shapes used in MTP. Ergo, I see no evidence that Crye knocked them off. If anything, it is an interesting look a wide variety of concepts in Hyperstealth’s stable of over 8000 patterns and you may find just the pattern you need. Check it out for yourself.

EOTAC Launches New Emerson Knife Collaboration at SHOT
Thursday, January 14th, 2010From the get go, EOTAC wanted to do a knife to complement their clothing styles so they went to knife making legend Ernest Emerson to produce the EOG-1 (Elite operator Grade). Emerson designed a custom blade design crafted from 154CM premium Stainless Tool Steel hardened to 57 Rockwell with a partial serration. The EOG-1 also features G10 scales and Titanium liner lock.
The production knife will only be available with the partially serrated blade like the Black variant above. The A-TACS version below is a prototype shown so that you can see how it will look with the camo finish. The knife will be available only through EOTAC and select EOTAC dealers and quantities will be limited. It will be offered in Black, Khaki, OD Green, and A-TACS.
EOTAC has a whole slew of new stuff coming for SHOT in booth #11456. Hopefully, we will be able to give you a couple of more sneak peeks before the show kicks off.
