Viking Tactics is offering two knife styles.
Drawing from the Bloodlines of VTAC’s first ever knife design, “The Assault”, the Crusader is nearly 9 inches long and has a cutting surface 3 ½ inches in length. The spine of the blade has a Viking Vine machined into the surface for aesthetics as well as to enhance the gripping surface. This coupled with the blood colored liners and Canvas Micarta make a beautiful knife. The blade is built from 1095 steel and hardened to RC 56-58.
Drawing inspiration from a knife made by one of SGM Lamb’s Soldiers who was killed in action in Iraq on 17 June 2005, the Norseman has an overall length of 11.63” and a cutting surface of 5 ½ inches. Made from 1095 steel and hardened to RC 56-58, this blade will cut easily and can be field sharpened. The VTAC Norseman’s spine is decorated with a Viking Vine, and Blood Colored handle liners.
The Crusader and Norseman are available from www.vikingtactics.com.
Offered in 3″ folding blade or 4″ fixed blade versions, Camillus has introduced Eagle Scout commemorative knives.
Camillus has a long history of making Scout knives. These new models were created at the request of Boy Scouts of America’s Mike Gerard (Eagle Scout and former Army Ranger). Unfortunately, although BSA intended these knives to be used every day, they have not released any specs on the materials used, leaving me as an Eagle Scout, to view these as collectibles, kept on a shelf to celebrate an accomplishment.
The Sicario is a limited edition collaboration between RE Factor Tactical and Toor Knives.
They based the Sicario on a Persian Fighting Blade which offers the user both slashing and stabbing capabilities. The 4″ blade is long enough to offer the user the ability to reach vital organs while still having a small enough blade to conceal if needed. The knife is hardened to a Rockwell hardness of 60 and is coated in H-series graphite black Cerakote. The handle is black textured dymalux giving the user ideal grip regardless of the circumstances.
All knives come with a durable kydex sheath with a 5 lbs draw retention.
Each knife also features an individual serial number that will be given to customers based on the order in which the knife is purchased.
Specs:
• Blade Length – 4″
• Length overall – 8″
• Weight – 3.6 oz
• Steel – CPM3V
• Blade Rockwell Hardness – 60
• Blade coating – H-series graphite black Cerakote
• Handle – Dymalux
• Kydex Sheath
All Toor knives are hand made in their facility in California.
New to Winkler Knives, the AF Survival Knife was designed for the United States Air Force. Unique features include an insulated handle, line cutter opening in sheath, pry tip and a hammer pommel.
