The HZ6 is a new tactical model from CRKT Knives. Designed by James Williams of Vass, North Carolina, it is inspired by a classical Japanese straight sword, the hira-zukuri.
It features full tang construction with a 6.5″ powder coated blade from SK-5 carbon steel and G10 handles. The HZ6 comes with a Boltaron sheath.
Winkler Knives has updated the Defense Dagger by adding low profile scales rather than the skeletonized handle on the original version.
American Service Knife is a new multi-tool brand created by Marine Veteran and renowned knife maker Greg Medford.
This model is the Jefferson. It features Orange scales, Drop Point Blade, Chisel, and Bottle Opener. However, the knives are modular and the components as well as scales can be swapped out.
Like the name says, these are American made. Their steels are powdered stainless alloys from Niagara Specialty Metal in upstate New York, the Titanium they use is mined in Ohio and their plastic injection molded scales are made in Scottsdale, Arizona from American made plastic material suppliers.
Dynamis Alliance honcho and former SEAL Dom Raso showed me his Neptune Blade, a dedicated dive knife during my brief visit to the Blade Show in Atlanta.
He’s been working in perfecting the design over the past several years and it’s great to see this American made knife finally out and hitting the market.
The blade which features double edge serrations is made from CPMS110V with a NEPT-X proprietary coating to resist salt water.
It also integrates a line cutting notch as well as a grip lanyard making it easy to ensure you won’t lose your knife. That same lanyard also secures your knife within the sheath.
Finally, the Neptune has multiple mounting options:
• MOLLE Vertical Mount
• Horizontal MOLLE Mount
• Horizontal Belt Mount
• Dive/Duty Belt Mount
• Includes Dynamis IWB Sheath
Expect the first run to be out by the end of 2022.

Supreme Allied Commander Europe, General Eisenhower issued this message to those embarking on the greatest undertaking in modern history, the invasion of Western Europe at Normandy, France.
Thanks to all of you who were there, from all of us, for liberating Europe from under the boot of oppression and protecting not only our great nation but our Allies as well.
This young guitarist has good taste.
The Texas origin story couldn’t be told without mentioning Davy Crockett and his Tennessee Volunteers at the Alamo so I couldn’t think of something more fitting at the NRAAM expo in Houston than this one-of-a-kind dipped magazine from Mission First Tactical.
This flipped image is from artist Robert Jenkins Onderdonk’s painting called “The Fall of the Alamo” or “Crockett’s Last Stand”.
Everyone who saw it wanted one but they made it just to show what they can do.
