Eagle Scout Knives by Camillus

Tuesday, November 20th, 2018

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.

Sicario – RE Factor Tactical x Toor Knives Collaboration Project

Thursday, November 1st, 2018

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.

Blade Show West 18 – Gerber Flatiron

Saturday, October 6th, 2018

I really like the Flatiron’s cleaver design. It features a 3.6″ blade paired with a textured G-10 composite handle. Well, I guess I should clarify. The scale on the side with the lock, is aluminum. The other one is G10.

You’ll notice the extra plate beside the lock. That’s to keep a tight grip from indexing the lock during opening and slowing it preventing a complete opening to full lock.

Details:
? Full length: 8.5″
? Blade length: 3.8″
? Blade steel: 7Cr17MoV
? Cleaver style, satin finish blade
? Thumb hole for one-hand opening
? G-10 composite handle scales
? Frame lock
? Pocket clip
