Gerber Makes Improvements to Pro Deal

Wednesday, October 10th, 2012

Gerber has announced its improved Professional Purchase Program (commonly called the Gerber PRO Program) which offers exclusive, discounted access to Gerber’s Military and Tactical specific product lines.

As a leading manufacturer of knives and multi-tools for the US Military, Gerber has a large assortment of tough, American-made products designed specifically for our men and women in uniform,” said Andrew Gritzbaugh, Military / Tactical Marketing Manager for Gerber. “Due to the specialty and frequent restrictions on some of this gear it can be a challenge to find items locally, or even impossible if you’re downrange. The Gerber PRO Program allows qualified personnel direct access to all of Gerber’s military-grade gear at a discount.

Just a year old, application for the program now takes just a few quick steps and once approved you have access to over 70 items, all at a discount.

The Gerber PRO Program is available to:
-Active duty military, National Guard & Reserve
-Federal, State & Local Law Enforcement
-Fire, EMS and other first responders
-Those holding military retiree credentials

Products that are available through the Gerber PRO Program include automatic knives, weapons maintenance tools, IR flashlights, MOS-specific kits and more.

Wolfhawk – The Knife That Mounts On Your Rifle

Saturday, September 29th, 2012

Normally, a knife that mounts on your rifle its called a bayonet, unless it’s the Wolfhawk. A joint venture between Battle Blades and TOPS Knives, the Wolfhawk series utilizes a sheath that incorporates a Mil Std 1913 rail compatible mount.

Offered in two blade (Hunter and Tanto) and two handle (micarta and paracord) versions, it features a 3-1/4″ blade made from 1095 High Carbon steel (RC 56-58).

When I see things like this that are done simply because they can be, I fear we have invented everything.

MDM – Ontario Knives

Wednesday, September 26th, 2012

Under development, the PJ Crash Axe is a modification of the SPAX which is a rescue tool that has seen wide spread use in DoD. The Crash Axe has a longer handle for increased leverage. Additionally, they’ve increased the cutting surface.

Featuring Black micarta handle, they’ve also incorporated a can opener-style cutter in the butt of the Axe. It’s a utilitarian tool that is well suited to breaching, rescue, as well as camp chore applications.

The Automatic Rescue Knife is an automatic design developed for the Coast Guard. It features a proprietary blade design that is similar to an eagle claw style but with a safety entry tip. The blade also integrates both standard cutting and serrations. Additionally, there is a glass breaker in the butt of the handle.

Ontario Knives now incorporates an open spine system into their folders. It means no trapped water or other debris gunking up the knife. You can use a weapon cleaning brush or just a quick blow and it’s clean.

Friday, September 21st, 2012

In honor of reaching 3000 ‘likes’ on Facebook, GSS Gear is giving away a Medford Knife & Tool TFF-3. It’s a sleek, yet sturdy, take on Greg’s beast folding knives. Like all of his folders it features a low part count and it’s incredibly easy to care for. This thing has a titanium solid scale, an aluminum lock scale, custom titanium hardware, and the blade is NP3 coated D2. This tool is meant to resist corrosion from even salt water! You can get to work and when it’s dirty you can literally wash it in the sink. It has an ambi thumb stud that turns out, can also be used as a bottle opener. The knife they are giving away is one of only a hundred made. $150 from each knife went to the families of the fallen men from the helicopter crash 8/6/2011 through the Navy League. The knives GSS bought bought are not stamped X/100 because these knives are meant to be used! Sure, a limited edition knife can be put in a case or drawer, but there’s too much utility in this knife to let it sit around.

Pancake of Death

Tuesday, September 4th, 2012

The Pancake of Death from Monkey Edge is based on CSM Gear’s popular Circle. It allows you to sandwich your sheath knife, pistol or other item between the layers, and mount it to your equipment at any angle that suits you. 550 cord works as a backup to make sure everything stays together.

But, what they have done is taken that original Circle PALS Adapter to the next level by adding a removable outer section which attaches via hook and loop material. This section mounts into place and will hold a multitool, or medium folder and also has loops for a pen or chemlight. You can also attach morale patches or ID to the loop field.

It attaches to a platform via PALS and is Made in USA! Currently available in OD and Black.

High Sierra Tool – N.L. TItan

Sunday, September 2nd, 2012

High Sierra Tool has recently added folders to their product list. Seen above is the N.L. TItan, which is machined from 3/16 in 6AL-4v Titanium. The TItan features 3.9″ blade with a total length of 9.25″ unfolded, a weight of 7.2 oz, and a 3/16 Titanium Liner Lock locking mechanism. The finish is Cerakote MC-155FQ Micro Clear over HST’s ‘Hot Mess’ camo pattern. A model with a steel blade and aluminum body is also available at a lower price point.

Additionally, HST has started the practice of leather lining their sheaths, which reduces wear on the tool and offers a quieter release.
