Tuesday, January 26th, 2021

Compact Edition, Rustproof, Non-Magnetic, Edge Holding Folder

Tuesday January 26, 2021 Terrain 365™ releases the Invictus-ATC. A compact version of its big brother featuring their super alloy Terravantium™ in a 3” blade. This technical framelock folder is engineered for use in any environment on land, in and even under water, without ever rusting, pitting or staining. The Invictus-ATC is made with advanced and state of the art materials which are all 100% non-ferrous, non-magnetic, and rustproof. Terrain 365’s “AT” (A.ll T.errain) designated folders are required meet the trifecta of apex folding knife performance criteria; rustproof, non-magnetic and edge holding. The dendritic cobalt composition and annealing process of Terravantium™ achieves all three.

The Invictus-ATC is a collaboration between Terrain 365 and Prometheus Design Werx.

Creative Director and Co-Founder Patrick Ma of Terrain 365 states,

“This is the compact version of our most popular model the Invictus-AT. With a 3” Terravantium™ blade and an OAL of 7” open, this framelock features all the properties and characteristics of its bigger brother, but in a more compact size. Perfect for EDC around town and in the backcountry. As with our other AT designated folder models, this folder is built with 100% non-ferrous materials, non-magnetic, and rust proof. A pivot with ceramic bearings creates a smooth action and the dive watch grade glow-in-the-dark cabochons inlaid in the dual thumbstuds round out the finer details.”

The Invictus-ATC will be available in 3 different handle options all with a titanium frame locking side, on their website at 12:00pm Pacific, January 26th, 2021.

Magpul Rigger EDC Knife

Thursday, January 14th, 2021

If you missed out on the limited edition versions of the Magpul Rigger knife, they’ve just introduced an EDC version.

Although the overall design remains the same, with its distinctive Modified Wharncliffe blade, they’ve swapped out the blade material from S35VN to CPM 154. CPM 154 aims for a Rockwell C hardness of 58 – 60 and will more readily polish to a mirror finish and is easier to grind than CPM S30V.

It features a double-locking aluminum frame. The Rigger EDC also incorporates Magpul’s Secondary Locking Feature. The pocket clip can also be reversed.

Specs:

Blade Length: 3.4” (from center of pivot)
Blade Thickness: 11/64”
Open Length: 7.59”
Closed Length: 4.52”
Handle Thickness: 7/16”
Weight: estimated at 3.7oz
Mechanism: Manual Opening w/ Flipper
Flipper Jimping Length: .235”
Blade Spine Jimping Length: .65”
Hardware Material: Stainless Steel
Pocket Clip Position: Reversible Tip-Up
Bearing Type: Caged Ceramic Bearings

The price at $239.95 is a bit more friendly than the limited edition variants as well.

Now on Kickstarter – CIZOR, a Tungsten Carbide Cutting Tool for Every Day Use

Thursday, December 31st, 2020

CIZOR is made from pulverized, recycled tungsten carbide cutting tools. It features a cutting end and a conical end which can be used to break glass. Tungsten carbide is an extremely strong material and the CIZOR is sharpened to a razor edge.

Developed as a utility tool, CIZOR can be used with an included aluminum stand.

It is offered in two sizes. The larger variant is the same length as a disposable Bic pen.

Below are both sizes as kits.

Note that only the small CIZOR comes with a silicon cap. Inside the silicon cap is an aluminum cup which prevents the blade from cutting right through the silicon.

Introducing the ACE Riv by GiantMouse Knives

Thursday, December 17th, 2020

East Lansing, Michigan, December 16, 2020 – Good things really do come in small packages. GiantMouse Knives released the Riv today, a compact folder in the company’s ACE line of folding knives. The Riv was designed in the lines of the Biblio but is a completely new design with its own feel and expression.

Why a compact knife? The knife’s designers, Jens Ansø and Jesper Voxnaes, grew up out in nature working the forest and doing chores around the house. They were taught to carry a fixed blade and a small folder. The fixed blade will perform most of the cutting tasks, but the folder should be kept razor sharp for finer tasks and be your back-up, if the fixed blade is lost or dulls. The Riv fills that role perfectly.

The Riv is available in Titanium, Brass, and Green Canvas Micarta. While the green canvas Micarta version will be sold through dealers, the brass and full Ti versions are GiantMouse exclusives, and will only be available on the GiantMouse website. All feature Elmax blade steel, ball bearing pivot, and titanium frame lock.

The blades are 2.44″ (62mm) in length, measured from tip to forward-most aspect of the frame, and are 0.118″ (3mm) thick. The handles are 3.375″ (85.73mm) long. Giving the Riv an overall length of 5.75″ (146mm).

Terrain 365 DTK-AT

Wednesday, December 16th, 2020

100% Rustproof, Mini-Framelock the Size of a Dog Tag

This Wednesday, December 16th, 2020 Terrain 365™ launches their DTK-AT mini-framelock folder. A very compact knife that is the size of a standard US Issue “Dog Tag”. Featuring their rustproof and edge-holding Terravantium™ blade, this mini-framelock folder can be used as a backup, hide-away, in survival kits/tins, fits in any pocket or can be worn around the neck. The “AT” designation for Terrain 365’s folders indicates a build that uses 100% non-ferrous alloys, are non-magnetic and rustproof. Any knife is only as useful as it is present on one’s person, and the DTK-AT is a very capable EDC folder in a very compact and easy to carry size.

The DTK-AT from Terrain 365 will be available in a fine industrial matte finish.

The team at Terrain 365 states,

“Our company Co-Founder Patrick introduced his first ‘dog tag” sized knife sometime back in 2003. It was a simple design and made of 100% titanium. This new DTK-AT is quite a step forward using modern framelock construction and the 100% non-ferrous and non-magnetic materials Terrain 365 is known for. Using the standard US Military issue ‘dog tag’ as the footprint for our new mini-framelock we came up with this design. It can be put into any pocket, worn around the neck and well suited for pocket survival kits/tins. The same attention to detail and carefully considered manufacturing steps that we put in our full sized edged tools are also applied to this mini-framelock. The DTK-AT is intended as a backup should you ever lose your primary and gives the EDCer that little extra piece of mind. A 100% rustproof blade and handle, a keen working edge that lasts, and a very capable cutting tool in a very compact size.”

The Terrain 365™ DTK-AT will be available for $179.00, at 1:00pm Pacific on their website Wednesday, December 16th, 2020.
