GiantMouse Knives Introduces the Biblio in Two New Colors

Sunday, April 26th, 2020

Stunning Burgundy and Black-Grey Canvas MicartaCorte Madera, California, April 24, 2020 – GiantMouse fans love the Biblio. It’s a great EDC folder that combines good looks, superior ergonomics, and exceptional performance. GiantMouse has taken those good looks to the next level with the addition of burgundy and black-grey canvas Micarta models.

“The Biblio has been available in both green canvas and natural canvas Micarta for a couple of years now, and these colors continue to do extremely well. For the new batch of Biblios, we decided to introduce a couple of new colors to give collectors more options,” said Jim Wirth, GiantMouse CEO. “We’ve always loved burgundy canvas Micarta and felt the Biblio was the perfect design to introduce this amazing color on a GiantMouse folder. And when we saw the black-grey canvas Micarta on finished samples, we just knew we had to do a run of these as well.”

The blade of the burgundy model features a satin finish. The black-grey model sports a stonewashed blade. When using the Biblio you’ll realize how well it performs. By choosing the flat saber grind on this knife, they got a strong blade with a fine cutting edge that you’ll enjoy using. The selection of Böhler M390 for blade steel makes the Biblio an exceptional cutting tool that will serve you well for years to come.

SOG’s New Brand Direction Shines Through In Release Of Flash AT, Aegis AT and Trident AT

Thursday, April 23rd, 2020

Lynnwood, WA – As Studies and Observations Group (SOG) undergoes an in-depth brand transformation in 2020 it introduces new knives and multi-tools, each relentlessly designed to meet or exceed the specific demands of end-users.

Leading off the new introductions are total redesigns of three favorite SOG assisted-opening folding knives:

Flash AT, Aegis AT and Trident AT. Each feature SOG’s newly developed Assisted Technology XR locking mechanism (AT-XR Lock), are fully ambidextrous and use titanium nitride coated cryogenically heat-treated D2 stainless steel. The newest versions of these best-selling knives deliver real-world solutions for three clearly defined segments of SOG users: Flash AT for daily carry, Aegis AT for outdoor users and Trident AT for professionals.

Flash AT

“Previous versions of these three knives have been among the most popular in the SOG lineup for about a decade,” said Jonathan Wegner, Vice President of Brand, who leads the new design direction and oversees product strategy at SOG. “Because they clearly represent each of our three user groups, they were the most obvious to kick off our entirely new product and brand approach.”

Aegis AT

SOG’s brand transformation emanates throughout the 2020 collection of knives and tools. Each of SOG’s new offerings are the culmination of insights and feedback provided by SOG’s cadre of subject matter experts, made up of professional, outdoor and everyday carry specialists. SOG applies a process of study, observe, understand, apply and repeat, that begins with a deep dive with users, before committing to any design solution. Coupling insights with a proven track record of design and engineering innovation, these new knives are poised to set a new standard as SOG moves forward with increasing the depth and breadth of its product line.

Trident AT

Each featuring SOG’s new and distinct visual brand language, Flash AT, Aegis AT and Trident AT utilize SOG’s incredibly strong XR locking mechanism that has consistently proven to deliver more than 1,000 pounds of lock-up strength in the new, lightning fast AT-XR Lock assisted-open mechanism, designed specifically for this new lineup. The new knives also come in a number of blade styles and various color choices in durable and ergonomic GRN handles.

MSRP for the three folders: Flash AT ($83.95), Aegis AT ($94.95) and Trident AT ($105.95). The three new models are available from Blade HQ, Knife Center and Smoky Mountain Knife Works, as well as SOG’s website.

“These three knives set the table for our 2020 line that puts us on a course to push new boundaries,” said Wegner “This is just the beginning of our pursuit to design solutions that will equip people for greater purpose.”

Terävä Skrama 200 Now Available from Varusteleka Oy

Friday, April 17th, 2020

Varusteleka Oy gave us a sneak peek of their new Terävä Skrama 200 knife at SHOT Show.

Skrama – as in Scramasax or Seax, a short, single-edged sword popular in the Middle Ages. Much like the Scandinavian Leuku, it doubles up as a tool and weapon. A fine name is always nice and the best ones are those with some history behind them – our 21st-century Skrama would surely meet the demands of any Saxon man from “ye good olde days”.

The 200mm long 80CRV2 Carbon Steel blade is slightly curved, with a hole in the tip for hanging. The back of the blade is flat, no saw teeth so it can be used for batoning wood when an axe isn’t handy. The full tang construction reveals a hole at the butt for a wrist strap.

The blade is sharpened to two different angles. Near the grip a 2″ portion has an angle of 25° for whittling and fine work. The rest of the blade has an edge of 34°, which has proven to be excellent for this type of chopping blade.

The handle is rubber for a positive grip, even when wet.

Comes with a leather sheath. Available with a plastic cover for a slightly less, in case you want to fashion your own sheath.

GiantMouse Knives Introduces the GMF2-FF

Sunday, April 12th, 2020

A Modern Take on an Old Nordic Work Blade

Corte Madera, California, April 10, 2020 – GiantMouse Knives has launched their newest fixed blade – the GMF2-FF. Designed by world-famous knife designers Jens Ansø and Jesper Voxnaes, they drew inspiration for the design of the GMF2-FF and leather dangler sheath from the style of knives they grew up using in Denmark. It’s a modern take on an old Nordic work blade.

The original GiantMouse GMF2 fixed blade has long been sold out. Now this updated version goes to a new level. The “FF” designation is for “full-flat”, which describes the blade grind. They also decided to step up to M390 steel this time and give it a beautiful satin finish.

With its perfectly contoured micarta handle, this fixed blade design is comfortable in the hand and hardy in the field. Whether you are shaving wood for a campfire or cutting rope for a hammock, the GMF2-FF will not let you down. Each GMF2-FF comes with a handmade leather dangler sheath designed by Ansø and Vox specifically for this knife.

SPECIFICATIONS

Materials:

Blade Steel: Böhler M390 MICROCLEAN stainless steel. Satin finish.

Handle: Green Micarta.

Dimensions:

Blade Length: 3.62″ (92mm)

Blade Thickness: 0.157″ (4mm)

Handle Length: 4.43″ (112.6mm)

Overall Length: 8.12″ (206mm)

Weight: 3.875 oz (109.85g) – without sheath

The VZ No.2 Tactical G-10 Pencils are a great addition to your EDC kit. They are both lightweight and look like the real thing. They’re hand made in the USA from solid G-10, making them damn near unbreakable and invisible to metal detectors. They might look like a real pencil, but don’t expect to write an essay with one. At least not in lead.

RMJ Tactical S13 SHRIKE

Wednesday, March 25th, 2020

The S13 SHRIKE is one of RMJ Tactical’s most popular models due to its 13″ handle being a smidge shorter than the SHRIKE’s original 15″ which makes it easier to swing in confined spaces like for breaching or extraction.

The 1075 Carbon Steel head features a 3” forward facing edge combined with a 3″ distal tapered spike that can be used for digging, shattering tempered glass, breaching windshields, penetrating sheet metal, hacking through concrete and wood or even breaking chains and hardened padlocks. In fact, the blade will also cut electrical wire. To this end, it has a rubber over molded handle. The butt end of the grip features a cap that screws off to gain access to a small storage compartment. The 13 SHRIKE features a Tungsten Cerakote finish for corrosion and wear resistance and a low visibility look. Included is a molded, bottom-eject kydex sheath and low-ride M.O.C. straps.

Offered with Black, Green or Coyote handle.
