Last Chance To Get A ZEV-Winkler Knife

September 21st, 2018

Earlier this year, ZEV Technologies teamed with Winkler Knives to introduce a limited run of 100 sheath Knives. We’ve been following this and there are only a handful left.

The 4-1/4” blade is made from 80CrV2 steel, coated in black oxide and features a sculpted G10 curved handle, for an overall length of 8-3/8”. Additionally, the blade features thumb index file work on top of the blade. The final detail is the Kydex sheath featuring a contrasting overlay in ZEV’s iconic red and black color scheme.

Knife Specifications:
• Blade steel: 80CrV2
• Black oxide no-glare finish
• Blade length: 4 1/4?
• Overall length: 8 3/8?
• Blade thickness: 3/16?
• Skeletonized, full tapered tang
• Thumb index file work

Sheath:
• Red and Black Kydex® featuring ZEV slashes
• Spring steel, belt clip that can be mounted on either side of the sheath in both vertical or horizontal positions

This is it, once they are gone, they are gone. They won’t make any more.

FirstSpear Friday Focus – Mexican Marines Adopt Protactic Vest System with FirstSpear Technology

September 21st, 2018

90A085AD-C8CD-4F69-87B9-08EA3DD15D1D

Fenton, MO – FirstSpear Technology Group and Protactic have announced a joint development combining Protactic’s advanced materials and signature management solutions with the latest FirstSpear Technologies to create a system built from the ground up to support the demanding and unique requirements of the Mexican Marines.

30021FC5-63DB-43F9-8836-2439D785C512

The design incorporates a 6/12™ laser cut platform for less breakup of camouflage pattern and tighter pocket attachment with less movement than traditional MOLLE. Rapid-Release Tubes™ Technology on the shoulders and cummerbund provide the most secure and quickest way to don or doff a plate carrier. Tubes also ensure more consistent placement of ballistic components and does not wear out like traditional hook/loop vests.

9BEEF89D-7AE3-4F35-8A68-2180F0878BD5

By using these two technologies together there is a significant reduction in weight and bulk helping to reduce fatigue and minimize the silhouette of the end user. The hydration carrier leverages Tubes to quickly secure to the vest for improved range of motion and rapid individual access to the pack itself.
