Coming soon from American Kami is a new batch of the MicrAxe. Manufactured from 3/8″ thick S7 which is a shock steel. In fact, it’s the stuff they make jackhammer bits out of. Overall length is 11.5″. These will be coated with black or FDE DLC from Ionbond and feature OD, coyote, or black handles.
At 37oz total weight, the MicrAxe is about the same as complete weight of a 24oz framing hammer. Like DJ told me, “Small form factor, yet still fully capable of wrecking stuff.”
The ParaHatchet from Ultimate Survival Technologies features a 5mm stainless steel handle/blade and is wrapped in 8.2′ of either Orange or Glow In The Dark paracord. The blade integrates 3 hex wrenches and a rope cutter. It’s affordably priced and is the kind of insurance I’d throw in the trunk with a survival kit.
First off, Gerber is offering an AR-15 specific MP1-AR Multi-plier. It incorporates sprung loaded pliers as well full size serrated and fine edge blades. All-in-all it’s a total of 11 tools.
All of the components are on the outside. It comes with a tool bit set including a pin punch and front sight adjustment tool. The MP1-AR also includes a Berry Compliant MOLLE compatible Sheath. Ships in May.
Designed on a lead from a Japanese dealer, Spartan Blades came up with these Titanium, breakdown Chop Sticks. Titanium means hypoallergenic, and the cool factor is through the roof. Made up of 4 components, the tip, body, carbon fiber sleeve and cap. The carbon fiber sleeves can be swapped out but initially it will be offered with Black and Red Twill. Look for these in about 30 days.
The new Benchmade 940-1 Osborne aXIS will be available in April. It is the first knife in the 940 series to feature S90V steel. It also incorporates machined carbon fiber handles, blue anodized barrel spacers making for a lighter version of the standard 940. You may notice the name includes AXIS and this is because it uses the AXIS lock, an ambidextrous, easy-to-use locking mechanism for the blade. The blade is 3.4″ with an overall length of 7.87″ and 2.4 oz.
Hardcore Hardware Australia’s MUK01-G Medium Urban Knife is designed as a dual purpose EOD and Dive Knife alternative. It features a modified chisel point for prying and probing, aggressive partial spine serrations, and hammer pommel with lanyard points. The full-tang handle features 3D G10 scales. The included sheath is Kydex with Molle-Lok. This is a brand-new product that is not yet featured on the Hardcore Hardware Australia website.
Benchmade has released a teaser video of their newest line of HUNT hunting knives. The line will be revealed at the upcoming 2014 SHOT Show.
