Cutlery Shoppe is giving away three great models from Al Mar Knives on Facebook. There will be three winners, one each for the Al Mar Eagle Ultralight, an Eagle HD and an Eagle Jigged Bone!
This picture was taken immediately after machining of the new Super Colubris. The harpoon tanto and recurve don’t have names yet.
Steel on these is CPM S35VN. The Super Colubris is around 10.5” OAL with 6” of blade. Harpoon tanto and recurve are each around 10” with 5” of blade.
These should be going off to Heat Treat next week along with the next batch of Maniaxe heads. Can’t wait to see the finished items.

The TYR GROUP (not to be confused with TYR Tactical) specializes in combat tracking training. 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. Below is their Combat Tracker badge which reminds me of the old RECONDO badges.
In the future they will be adding other T-shirt designs, Patches as well as custom Knives and survival gear. Also, look for a collaboration with Spencer Alan Reiter of SAR Global Tool.
If you’ve ever wondered what Greg Medford of Medford Knife & Tool is like, this video is him. He’s a great guy and here he talks about all kinds of cool stuff including his love of German sausage and his latest Facebook contest.
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.
