Blade Show West Moving to Orange County, California

February 11th, 2021

BLADE Show, the world’s largest knife show, has announced a major venue upgrade for its BLADE Show West exhibition. The 2021 event will take place at the Long Beach Convention Center in Orange County, California, on Friday and Saturday, Oct. 8-9.

After months of searching for the best possible location for BLADE Show West, the BLADE Show staff unanimously concluded that Long Beach is the place to be.

“Many exhibitors and attendees who joined us in Portland, Oregon, for the past two West shows suggested ways we could improve on the experience. We listened and started looking for alternative locations. The Long Beach area has so much going for it that this was an easy decision,” said Alicia Newton, BLADE Show director.

“Foremost in our decision is the fact that Orange County is knife-friendly in ways that many of the other venues we considered are not. Management at the Long Beach Convention Center has been easy to work with and is genuinely excited about adding our event to their calendar. Exhibitors can expect great show traffic and hassle-free transactions.”

Long Beach has all the amenities that show attendees and exhibitors value. It’s easy to navigate, there are plenty of hotel options, and a huge variety of dining and entertainment options can be found within walking distance of the convention center. Further, the size and layout of the convention center lends itself to expansion in future years.

Additional details, including lodging information, will be posted regularly at bladeshowwest.com during the coming weeks, so check back often.

Butler Creek Introduces New Featherlight Bino Caddy

February 10th, 2021

New Bino Harness Offers Versatile, Dependable Optics Protection

OVERLAND PARK, Kan. – February 9, 2021 – Butler Creek®, maker of smart, field-proven hunting and shooting accessories, announced today that the company’s new Featherlight Bino Caddy is now available. Made of the same patent-pending breathable closed cell foam material as the popular Butler Creek Featherlight sling, the Butler Creek Bino Caddy offers hunters a comfortable, dependable way to protect their glass in the field.

Butler Creek’s Featherlight caddy comes in three sizes to fit 10×42, 12×50 or 15×56 roof prism binoculars. A three-dimensional top flap keeps out dust and moisture, while silent suede materials and the Featherlight backing help protect hunters’ binoculars from impacts and abrasions. Breathable and cushioned, the Featherlight material is as effective at protecting optics as it is comfortable for users. The innovative slotted foam backer not only allows trapped heat to escape but it also provides additional cushion when used under heavy back packs and other accessories.

Not skimping on comfort or convenience, the Featherlight Bino Caddy features adjustable straps and a quick disconnect harness design for added safety and a secure fit. Easy to use from the truck to the stand, this caddy uses a quiet magnetic closure that automatically engages to secure binoculars. The forward opening top allows for efficient one-handed access to the main compartment as well.

Loaded with extra features, the Butler Creek Bino Caddy does more than keep a hunter’s optics at the ready. Hunters and shooters will appreciate the MOLLE webbing on the front and side of the caddy for attaching accessories. An interior mesh pocket and rear compartment are perfect for small game calls or tags, while the mesh side pocket is great for a small bottle of wind indicator or other items.

The Featherlight Bino Caddy comes in Prym1 MP (multi-purpose) camouflage, Prym1’s most versatile hybrid camo pattern. This particular camo is designed for all-season use, from the whitetail woods to western big game hunts and everything in between. 

The new Butler Creek Bino Caddy has an MSRP of $74.95 for the 10×42 size, $79.95 for the 12×50 size, and $84.95 for the 15×56 size.

LEGEND Compression Tactical Boot Socks – “They make all the Difference”

February 10th, 2021

Our tactical boot sock program was developed using our extensive knowledge of medical grade compression hosiery along with warfighter evaluations and recommendations.

We spoke to hundreds of current Warfighters, Law Enforcement, Fire, and Rescue American Legends for their input. It turned out that all of these individuals have common needs. We heard oner and over that, “If my feet hurt and I get blisters, I’m miserable and my focus suffers”. Based on this feedback, we selected the very best American Merino Wool and Moisture Wicking Nylon yarns for our socks. We designed the highest performance tactical socks available. We manufacture them, in a “state of the art” mill in our home state of North Carolina. Our socks are field tested by Special Operations and worn by all branches of the military.

So, what makes us different? It is the use of graduated compression to reduce foot fatigue. We use graduated compression in everything we make. Our mission is to keep your feet healthy to extend the life of your legs.

Unfortunately, it is common for your feet to be either hot, cold, or wet. As a result, we keep our product simple and offer LEGEND® tactical socks for all temperatures and weather conditions.

• LEGEND® (Warm Weather) Compression Moisture Wicking Nylon Socks.

• LEGEND® (All Weather) Compression Merino Wool Socks

• LEGEND® (Cold Weather) Compression Merino Wool Socks

Features:

Mild Graduated Compression helps improve blood flow, reduce foot fatigue, achy feet, and recovery time.

Seamless toe design and dense terry cushioning to reduce friction, toe irritation, and to increase comfort.

Wide Arch Support to minimize sock movement, blisters, and provide greater comfort.

Our All Weather and Cold Weather boot socks use a high percentage content of merino wool. They are, moisture wicking, temperature regulating, breathable, antibacterial, and odor resistant. We also use an unique Spuncover™ process by wrapping our merino wool in nylon that makes our socks, softer, more durable, and reduces shrinkage.

In addition, our All Weather and Cold Weather boot socks, based upon independent 3rd party testing are Flame Resistant (FR).

The Merino Wool All Weather compression boot socks have cushioning on the sole and shin, arch, and instep, for added comfort.

The Merino Wool Cold Weather compression boot socks have dense terry cushioning through-out the entire sock to help keep your feet warm during cold weather conditions.

The Warm Weather compression boot sock is knit using “Aquarius” nylon technology with high performance engineered micro-channel nylon fibers. This technology accelerates wicking, and evaporation; keeps moisture away from your feet. These hydrophilic attributes keep your feet dry and free from blisters.

The LEGEND® program is proudly “Made In USA” in North Carolina under stringent quality control in an ISO1901:2015 certified compression hosiery knitting facility.

We are also a SKILCRAFT® Program “Supporting Jobs for Blind Workers”
