Their store includes the TYR GROUP T-shirt produced by Mitchell Martin at Gator Graphics, the TYR Group Combat Tracker Blade made by Custom Bladesmith Jeff Crowner, Signed Copies of John Hurth’s book “Combat Tracking Guide” as well as PVC patches made by John McConnell at Combat-Swag.

GCS is welcoming in March with a preorder special for Gerber’s latest; The Downrange Tomahawk.
Specifically designed to accomplish three breaching tasks, the axe head cuts through walls and rope while the hammerhead is the perfect size for smashing through obstacles like hinges, door knobs and locking devices. A hefty pry at the end of the tool can be employed confidently with a cutaway handle in the axe head – this allows the user to maximize leverage during the breach. Desert Tan G-10 scales mount the 420HC steel with KG gun cote to provide maximum grip regardless of environment.
Order between now and 31 March at www.gcswarrior.com and get 30% off the retail cost. Be the first in line when the Gerber start shipping at the beginning of April.
