UltiClip have been used for IWB holsters for quite awhile, but at the recent Blade Show in Atalanta, UltiClip showed how their device can be used to secure knives and other items in place for the draw from an inside waistband carry.
It’s a simple, low-profile device that can be attached via bolts to many sheaths and holsters, and is adjustable for height. The bail snaps into place, clamping either pant or belt.
Yes, it’s called the SureFire. Zippo’s multitool incorporates most importantly, a flint wheel ignition (includes 1 flint), along with
420 High-carbon steel cutting tool,
15″ of wax-coated red fire paracord, a double cut saw blade, flathead screwdriver, bottle opener, bail and
dual flint storage & tinder grater.
And finally, the SureFire is cheap, at just $19.95.

Last week’s Blade Show was the public debut of the Utility Crusher which replaces the SAR Knife in the Winkler line. The full tang construction from 80CrV2 retains the double cross guard as well as serrations along the spine of the blade.
The biggest change is the new pommel spike window breaker which is lower profile than on the SAR Knife which is less likely to catch your arm while wearing the knife on your belt.
Standard handle options include sculptured G10 and Micarta although they exhibited Oak handles at Blade Show.
I am told there are still some SAR Knives in stock so pick one up before they’re gone.
At last weekend’s Blade Show Dynamis Alliance released their new Blade Oil.
Dom told me he spent quite awhile looking for the right product to protect his edged weapons and firearms from corrosion. His choice was this petroleum based oil. It remains effective across a wide and extreme Temp range: -30 to 425 degrees and is extremely cohesive being difficult to remove once it has been applied. It is also Salt Water Resistant. Each bottle comes with a removable Precision Drop Applicator nozzle.
