While you’re there, order one of the new Die Valkure shirts by Andrew Bawidamann. Named Skuld, she makes a great companion for their line of custom blades. This is one of his best pieces yet. He just keeps getting better and better and Andrew never ceases to amaze me with his talent.
Finally, Bawidamann has updated the MOLLE PUP. Look for an exciting announcement regarding the new PUP soon.

Sneak Peek – Tactical Tailor Universal Knife Sheath
Friday, May 17th, 2013Tactical Tailor showed me their new Universal Knife Sheath. It features an injection molded insert to contain the blade which can be removed and is held in place in the fabric carrier via a tab in the rear. But that isn’t the only new molded piece here. The MALICE clips are a new model sized specifically for this project. You will also notice the resin impreganted nylon backer. Expect to start seeing this on all TT pouches in the future.

Warrior West – Benchmade
Thursday, April 25th, 2013The 9170 Auto Triage was developed at the request of US Navy Aviators who were looking for a knife with auto opening features for both the main blade as well as personal safety cutter.
Here you can SE the evolution of the design. At the bottom is the 916 which was developed with Natick as well as Customs and Border Patrol who wanted a knife with an opposing bevel for increased blade strength. That blade style is also good for folks who need to use it while on a platform like an aircraft or ship as there’s no point to accidentally cut someone or something. The 916 Triage also incorporates a personal safety cutter as well as a carbide tip glass breaker. The middle knife is the 915 SBK-ORG with the sheeps foot blade and has more of a commercial appeal. Finally, the knife at the top is the 9170 SBK-ORG. It incorporates an auto opening modified drop point blade as well as an auto personal safety hook. Eventually, all of the models will be available in auto variants and the corrosive resistant N680 blades are available in satin or black cerakote finishes. Handles are G10.
Warrior West – Gerber
Thursday, April 25th, 2013I’ve written about most of Gerber’s new products but as I per used their wares, something caught my eye. It was a lock blade knife with a drop point sheeps foot blade. It was kind of funny. At first they were like, “You’re interested in this old thing?” But then one of the the guys thought about it and related, “ya know, that knife has been around a long time and it’s got a great price. In fact, I’ve been carrying one since I was a kid.”
The EZ-Out DPSF Black is based on the commercial EZ-Out model many of you may already have at home and is made from S30V steel. It’s even got an NSN (5110-01-452-2215).
Overall Length: 8″
Blade Length: 3.5″
Closed Length: 4.5″
Weight: 2.8 oz.
Lock Mechanism: Lockback
