Tough Hook launched a successful crowd funding campaign back January. Since then they’ve been chugging along, selling their beefy hanger that will accommodate an armor carrier.
In fact, their first run is almost sold out.

Spencer A Reiter is a retired Army NCO who produces some really cool stuff. He now offers a couple of different comb designs. While I am sure that they were developed to handle his beard, I see that they can be used for a wide variety of applications. The description on the site is simple yet gets the point across. The standard pocket comb with a tungsten carbide enhanced cutting notch. Great for opening packages, cutting cord etc.
From the makers of the BedBunker comes the CouchBunker. The CouchBunker is a fire rated gun safe built within a custom made-to-order couch. The safe is half the size of a queen sized bed (78″ x 29.5″ x 14″) and lined with a two-hour fire wall. It is designed to hold up to 30 rifles, plus other valuables. The CouchBunker can be ordered in three styles: Bridgeport, Mesa, and Kingsville. These come in either fabric or leather, with loads of color options available for both. Additionally, there’s an option to add on bullet-resistant cushions with carry straps, for use as an on-the-fly shield. They are designed to stop a .44 Magnum at point blank range.

The SpoolTool is a pretty cool gadget designed to carry 100′ of 550 cord and incorporates not only a cutting blade but also these series of notches for burning the ends of the cord as well as a holder for a Bic lighter. Everything you need to organize and use 550. Sure, some of you guys will spend an exhaustive amount of energy complaining about this and how it’s not needed. But I don’t really give a shit about your petty complaints. Haters gonna Hate and I’m a fan of a better mouse trap meaning I am going to buy one. Aside from some solid innovation, one of the other things I like about this is that Tricorne LLC is a Veteran owned business.
This is another first, at least for Spartan Blades. It’s their first watch.
Designed in collaboration with Bernhardt Watch, the Spartan Blades Field Diver Watch runs on a Swiss Quartz movement made by RONDA which keep near-perfect time and offer shock protection against the heaviest of concussions. The housing is machined from 316 stainless-steel and the case has a sapphire crystal. The case-back and crown screw down, offering 200 meters of water-tightness and the watch incorporates a steel diver’s bezel. The stainless steel bracelet and case are black PVD coated. The watch face and bezel numbering is tan. Each watch comes delivered in a great leather travel case. Every watch is engraved with Spartan Blades Logo along with limited edition numbering (XXX of 200) on backside.
The inteliSCOPE is an app for Android and iOS smartphones that turns the device into a tactical optic. It features multiple self-orienting reticles, 5x digital zoom, drop compensation, recording and playback options, built-in compass, GPS positioning, shot timer, and local prevailing winds.
Additionally, the smartphone can be attached to a 1913 picatinny rail using the inteliSCOPE Tactical Adapter System. It’s made from high strength composite-reinforced polymer with a ruggedized tactile rubber finish. It detaches via a quick-release toggle, can be adjusted to portrait or landscape orientation, and allows for the user to shoot around corners with no head exposure. A Nerf rail adapter also allows the user to use the inteliSCOPE on any of the N-strike Nerf blasters.

OneUp Designlab gave us a sneak peek of an early prototype of their upcoming Every Day Carry tool called the EDC Duo It has a swing out holder for bits and a driver built into the handle. In addition to scissors and a pliers head, the lock blade knife (complete with pocket clip) can be completely detached from the EDC Duo. An alternative slab can be fitted in its place for TSA compliant air travel.
The REACTOR Gryphon is a time piece designed specifically for military and LE use and heralds the company’s first use of a unique new polymer-steel hybrid “case-in-a-case” construction.
“Plastics are great for their weight and durability against abrasion,” said Reactor President Jimmy Olmes, “but you cannot meet our standards for strength or water resistance with plastics alone, so we set out to find a way.” “Our black-plated watches have been very popular with our military and LE customers,” said Olmes, “but black IP over stainless is still more reflective than we would like, and it can be scratched, revealing the bare metal underneath. The Gryphon has a truly non-reflective surface that will not show a scratch, and it is lighter weight without sacrificing any strength.”
The result is a solid 316L stainless steel core that provides integrity for all the key interface points. The special K-1 hardened crystal mounts with an I ring into stainless steel, the screw down crown is welded into the stainless steel core and the forged stainless steel case back threads into the stainless steel core providing maximum water resistance over the long term. This internal core is then wrapped with a strong and highly impact resistant, reinforced polymer that REACTOR calls Nitromid™.
In addition to this unique case construction REACTOR developed a new strap that combines the comfort and odor resistant capabilities of AA grade silicone with the tensile strength of polyester webbing. Taking inspiration from their highly successful natural rubber and silicone band used on other REACTOR watches, REACTOR overlaid a tightly woven polyester webbing that serves as the interface at the case. This provides unprecedented strength, durability and comfort without the perspiration-absorption issues of normal webbing-based straps.
Gryphon features a 42mm case with a unidirectional, 120 click timing bezel, REACTOR’s patented Never Dark dial technology, combining tritium tubes and Superluminova, and a depth rating of 200M. Solid stainless steel screw bars are used to secure the strap to the case providing a case to band interface that supports well over 300 lbs. Gryphon will be available in 4 different dial colors with coordinating bands, and is slated to ship in early May with a suggested retail of $350.00.
