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.

GSS Giving Away Medford Knife

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.

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.

Who Is Tracker Dan?

Friday, August 3rd, 2012

Tracker Dan’s name most often comes up regarding the knives that he makes, particularly the BloodShark. But, there is a lot more to the man. He’s a Navy SEAL but even that doesn’t define who he is. He has dedicated his life to primitive outdoor living and surviving in the wild, on the battlefield and on the streets. He also develops knives and tools to that end. This video gives you a good look into some of Tracker Dan’s background and what drives him.
