The S.H.O.V.E.L. or Semi-Horned Oblong Versatile Eating Ladle, is not just an ordinary titanium spork. It’s also has a serrated knife, bottle cap opener, and six feet of red paracord wrapped around its body. Well, all this, and it also happens to be open-source. The product page includes the data sheet and CAD files so, given the proper tools, you can make your own S.H.O.V.E.L. and even make improvements to the design.

HTM Knives – Master Proven MP01

Monday, June 17th, 2013

MP01

Designed by MSG Grady Burrell (USA, Ret) and built by knife making legend Darrel Ralph of HTM Knives, the Master Proven MP01 is made from 154 CM steel with a 4.5 inch blade and an overall length of 9.25 inches. The textured handle features a hole at the rear that matches with the spur at the rear of the blade. This allows for an enclosed grip with the use of paracord or other material, increasing the retention capability of the knife. Available in ‘fixed blade’ and tanto styles, serrated or hone.

MP01 - 2

The sheath, developed by FirstSpear, uses their 6/9 Modular Pocket Technology. This makes the sheath lighter than a traditional MOLLE/PALS equivalent. Additionally, the sheath mounts closer and conforms tighter to the mounting platform due to the flexible nature of the attachment straps. The sheath is availabe in MultiCam.

If you don’t understand what a dagger is or what it is used for, please keep silly comments to yourself. The search function can truly be your friend but there will be guys who get it who are more than happy to entertain serious questions.

The Winkler Axes That Started It All

Monday, June 3rd, 2013

ABS master smith Daniel Winkler has been producing various “Breaching/Combat Axes” for several US units since the beginning of Operation Enduring Freedom but the genesis of the project was actually in 1991 during Operation Desert Storm. A member of the US Navy contacted him and asked him to develop an axe for his team based on some of the traditional American designs he had been doing. Daniel produced a prototype and the requester purchased it himself. The team approved the axe but due to finance restrictions placed on their funding there was no money to finance the purchase for the rest of the Unit. Daniel’s client carried the prototype axe during the first Gulf war and later retired from military service. In an odd twist, after 9/11 he reentered military service, but this time with the US Army. During his training and deployment other members of his team saw the effectiveness of the axe and wanted one too. Daniel made several more at the same 15-year-old price (actual cost) and the guys were lining up to purchase them with their own funds. These photos taken at Blade Show are of two examples of Winkler Axes produced for that very Operator.
