Tactical 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.
Coming Summer 2013 from www.TacticalTailor.com
In case you wanted to know what they would look like when finished, this is an update to the American Kami Super Colubris, made from CPM S35VN steel with 10.5” OAL with 6” of blade.
The Zero Tolerance 0360.SKD.MM Knife is offered exclusively by SKD Tactical. Turns out, Military Morons loves the Zero Tolerance 0360.SKD.MM Knife locking folder for everyday carry. But, he lost his in a bike accident so Joe at SKD Tactical suggested they do a signature model.

The 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.
I’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).

This is a cool kit for those requiring basic illumination and cutting tools. It includes Gerber Gear Sheath, eFECT weapon maintenance tool, MP 600 one-handed multi-tool, and Recon-M II flashlight. It also includes a strap cutter which is rapidly becoming recognized as critical for those riding in vehicles whether military or civilian LE.
It’s available for unit and agency purchase through ADS Inc.
Ontario Knife Company has introduced a new line of knives aimed at the LEO called the Fortune series. These are fixed blade models named after the Roman Fates: Morta, Decima and Nona (top to bottom).
They all feature the same G10 handles but offer 4″, 3″ and 2″ blade lengths for different applications.
Here is your first look at the upcoming Emergency Rescue Axe. In addition to its curved axe blade, it features a pick, spanner wrench and natural gas as well as pry tools.
The spike pommel also incorporates the same grip mold as the Prodigy Knife. It comes paired with a polymer PALS compatible sheath made from a nylon substrate with a Dynaflex overmold. Coming VERY soon!
