Here at SSD we are big fan’s of Greg Medford and the work he does for our troops at Medford Knife & Tool. So when we heard he had finally relented and agreed to a Facebook presence we were some of the first to hit ‘Like.’
We’d like to encourage you to ‘Like” MKT on Facebook as well. But, you don’t just have to take our word for it, when they reach 500 ‘Likes’ they’ll give away omething from their swag bag.

Even SOG Specialty Knives & Tools has gotten in on the act with their Micro Entrenching Tool.
GQ magazine published a story entitled ‘Nine Things Every Man Should Have in His Pockets‘. As it turns out, two of the nine items are from SureFire. Since the other items aren’t SureFire, we won’t bother mentioning them, but it’s a worthy read nonetheless.
Stay classy, SureFire!
During SHOT Show we broke the story about Greg Medford, head honcho at Medford Knife & Tool receiving the official letter form the Marine Corps making the new MKT USMC EOD-1 Knife is the approved replacement for the legacy knife. Designed in cooperation with EOD techs at 29 Palms, the EOD-1 is a thick, solid tool built to hammer, pry, guide wire, probe and of course cut and saw. It is extremely heavy duty.
Here’s Greg talking about the new knife and explaining its features:
Benchmade Knives has launched a new website with an updated look and feel. They’ve also added a new search function that should help you zoom right in on what you are looking for. Also, for those of you unfamiliar with Benchmade’s site, they run their own forum so it’s a great place to interact with other Benchmade owners. Despite reports that the site is not mobile friendly it opened just fine for us on both iPad and iPhone.
The Escort Carbon Fiber Dagger bundle from Carbon Fiber Gear includes all three knives in the series. These are carbon fiber so they don’t hold a razor edge but can be sharpened with sand paper. The outer surface of the blades are comprised of a 3k 2×2 twill weave fabric, while the inner surfaces are made up of 12 layers of uni-directional fiber. The handles are made up of a total of 36 layers of carbon fiber.
All are 100% carbon fiber and 100% Made in USA!

This may prove to be the most entertaining 8:46 of your life, or the most terrifying if you consider the Chinese horde all armed to the teeth with these shovels. It slices, it dices, it juliennes. Truth be told, a couple of the features such as the “scissor” and nail puller are pretty cool, but music and effects make this one worth the price of admission. Make sure you stay long enough to see the entrenching tool museum.

Off The Grid Concepts made the sheath for this kick ass knife but they don’t know who made it. Be the first person to identify the knife and who made it along with a website or other evidence you are right and get a laser engraved Hypalon SSD patch in Coyote.
