Platatac is offering a field knife made for them by Hardcore Hardware Australia. Reader Chris B shared this photo of his knife with us.
They are available with either a black or coyote handle and come complete with a Kydex sheath featuring Bladetech fittings. This model is limited with only 248 pieces left.
Victorinox has been supplying issue pocket knives to the Swiss Army since 1891. This is the currently issued model which has been around since 2008 and is only the third model developed for the Swiss Army. Below you can see the precious two models. The 2008 edition features a main blade, saw, can opener with integrated screwdriver blade, bottle opener with integrated screwdriver blade, awl, Philips screwdriver and lanyard ring.
The Böker manufactured version of the American Kami Colubris is now available. Quantities are currently limited, although the supply should open up over the next several months. The blade on the Böker version is 440C vs the CPM S35VN of the original, each blade is individually numbered, and they come with a Kydex sheath.
To celebrate, American Kami is running a pass-around and giveaway for the new knife. To sign up:
1) Got to the American Kami Facebook page and “like.”
2) Message American Kami saying that you’d like to participate in the pass-around. You’ll be added to the list.
3) When you receive the knife, use it and carry it (use common sense please).
4) You will have seven days to evaluate the knife.
5) Write a quick review of your experiences with the knife. What you used if for, how you felt about it, etc. Reviews must include at least one picture.
6) Post your review and notify American Kami that you’ve done so with a link to it.
7) American Kami will give you the address of the next person in the queue.
8) You ship the knife to that person USPS priority insured.
9) If, when you receive the knife, it requires sharpening, notify American Kami and you will be provided with further instructions based on the situation.
10) When we have worked our way to the end of the pass-around list, American Kami will put a screaming sharp edge on the knife, and will hold a random drawing. Everyone who participated in the pass-around and posted a review with at least one picture will have a chance to win the knife, along with some other really cool swag.

This Pouch holds 2 x 30 rd mags. Additionally, it incorporates a Velcro lined pocket for medium sized fixed blade knife behind the flap. Considering how many guys are carrying knives on their kit these days, it’s great to see a pouch designed from the outset to integrate a sheath. Naturally, it is also PALS compatible.
Available in Coyote Brown, Ranger Green, MultiCam, Black, and Khaki.
Gerber has expanded their line of automatic knives to include the Propel series knives: the Propel Auto and the Propel Downrange Auto.
The Propel Auto sports a tanto-style 420 HC stainless steel blade with partial serration; a black oxide coating offers limited reflectivity and corrosion resistance. The grip uses a black G-10 composite handle and Gerber’s Assisted Opening 2.0 for seamless, one-handed opening. The plunge lock and safety switch fix the blade in place, open or closed. The pommel features a lanyard hole for utility.
The Downrange shares all the features of the Propel Auto, except it exchanges the black G-10 handle for tan and the 420 HC steel for an upgraded S30V steel blade. Both knives have a blade length of 3.5″ with an overall length of 8.52″ and a weight of 4.28 oz. The Propels also share a three-position adjustable clip that allows the user to customize the knife’s orientation: tip up, tip down, or left side carry.
Remember the cool Rogers Belt Hatchets made by Iron Horse Armory for Domari Nolo?
Apparently, a deployed unit saw those and approached Iron Hammer Armory to produce some commemorative models. Custom engraving is available on ALL Rogers Belt Hatchets.

The 941 Travelmate Kit caught my eye awhile back on Amazon and I was glad to finally get a chance to take a look at it. It is a three component system that includes a spreader knife with integrated serrations on the wide blade. It can cut a tomato or spread peanut butter. As Stephanie Young, Buck’s marketing manager said, “It slices dices, cuts and serves.” The handles are made from Dishwasher safe Paperstone handles that are made of up of 100% recycled paper.
The Fork incorporates Can opener, Bottle opener and Scraping tool for grill or stove. Finally, the molded Sheath incorporates about $3 worth of microbial silver nitride to help ensure your utensils aren’t a breeding ground for gunk.
