Master Proven released the Zek (pronounced “Zeek” as in Ezekiel) belt axe with DDR’s DGT Gear line at NRA Show and already it’s been included in a survival kit by another manufacturer.
A hunter recently asked if they could add a glow-in-the-dark handle to the CPM 154 full tang axe so it wouldn’t be misplaced while processing game at the end of the day.
This charging handle inspired Stabby Thing is the ST-1 from Helm Enterprises.
Made from 4140 Steel with Cerakote.
Terrain 365 is a collaboration between TAD and PDW founder Patrick Ma Partnered and ABS Master Smith Michael Vagnino, who’ve known one other for about 20 years. Naturally, Terrain 365 concentrates on knives, which is a passion for both of them.
In addition to offering some great designs, Patrick wanted to bring back a non-ferrous material for knives which retains the edge,
is non-ferrous meaning it won’t rust and is non-magnetic. What he had in mind was a revival of cast Cobalt and Carbide. Their alloy is called Terravantium. They don’t roll the material, which crushes the cobalt. Their process retains Dendritic properties of the material.
Initially, Terrain 365 will release four models.
The HD is for heavy duty. No Rice the thick backstrap.
The AT is for all terrain. This version of the Invictus is made from Ti and Terravantium, making it 100% non-magnetic.
This Dive Knife is available with Orange or Black handles which feature an Epoxy for solid grip when wet.
In addition to these initial designs, bar stock is available for other makers.
