Friday, July 13th, 2012

The new Adamas line of knives were designed by knife maker Shane Sibert honors the three battalions of the 75th Ranger Regiment. Adamas is Latin for diamond, honoring the WW II shoulder sleeve insignia of the Rangers and, as each battalion has a distinct personality so do the various knives.

The 1/75 knife is a push dagger design.

Extreme Outfitters Offering CRKT Dogfish Neck Knife at 50% off

Wednesday, July 11th, 2012

Unlike many skeletonized flat blades, the Columbia River Knife & Tool Dogfish is graceful, gives a secure grip, and also has that dogfish face at the pommel which turns out to be—a lanyard hole and bottle opener. It incorporates a secure finger choil and friction grooves at the thumb spine and near the butt.

It’s E.D.M. wire cut from a single piece of high-carbon stainless steel and the CRKT bevel grinds the 2.25″ modified Wharncliffe blade, and finally, given a fine bead-blast finish and add a razor-sharp edge.

You also get a custom-fitted six-eyelet Kydex sheath that grips the knife securely for inverted carry with the neck chain included, or with the CRKT MercHarness. It’s a useful, friendly minimal knife that’s a great value.

This knife normally retails for $29.99 but for a limited time Extreme Outfitters is offering it for only $14.99.

Daniel Winkler Folding Flint Striker Set

Monday, July 9th, 2012

I didn’t realize until The Blade Show that Master Bladesmith Daniel Winkler produced a fire starter set. Called the Folding Flint Striker Set, it’s based on the items carried by frontiersmen before the advent of the match. Winkler is well known for his fascination with early American history. In fact, he began making knives in order to outfit himself in the same equipment as an 18th century woodsman.

Set includes Knife, flint, char tin with char cloth, tinder with fat wood and a draw-string deer hide pouch. Additionally, he can provide a neck pouch for the knife at an additional charge. Just like all of Winkler’s other products knife pouches are hand built, to last.

Starting fires in a traditional manner is a skill that should be acquired and practiced. If I could only get one thing for my birthday, this would be it.
