BOSS StrongBox Raising Funds For Gold Star Teen Adventures

June 5th, 2018

BOSS StrongBox will be hosting an fundraiser raffle online with a goal to raise over $5,000 for Gold Star Teen Adventures; a non-profit whose mission is to provide healing, mentor-ship, development, and opportunity to the children of Special Operations Service Members who lost their lives in the line of duty.

Gold Star Teen Adventures was started by Kent Solheim, a Special Operations Service Member who was seriously wounded in combat in Iraq in 2007, ultimately losing his right leg. Kent’s experiences on his road to recovery inspired the creation of Gold Star Teen Adventures. Kent, a father of two, realized that if he had not made it home, he would have still wanted his children to know the brotherhood of the Special Operations community that he had grown to love, and to share the adventures that his career had permitted him to do.

BOSS StrongBox has teamed up with other leading brands to provide over 20 different prizes with a total retail value of over $5,000.  Ranging from Pelican Cases to Streamlight TLR, Blac-Rac Weapon Retention Systems, Gerber Multi-Tools and more, there will be plenty of great prizes to win.

With raffle tickets selling for only $10 each, it won’t cost you much for a chance to win.

At the end of the day, it’s all about the cause and doing what we can to help support programs like Gold Star Teen Adventures and give back to the families who have served our country and ultimately gave their lives for our freedom.

The fundraiser starts June 1st and will run through the month, ending June 29th.  You’ll want to follow along on Instagram (@BossStrongBox) to get updates and watch the live raffle take place at the end of the month (note: you won’t have to watch live to win, if you’re name is pulled we’ll contact you).

Blade Show 18 – Brous Blades MFCEO

June 4th, 2018

If you recognize the initials MFCEO, then you’ll immediately realize who Brous Blades made this knife for.

33680371-FF95-4969-B04F-22CDDDB41242

If not, that’s the moniker James Yeager goes by. He liked the style of the TDI, but was looking for a knife that filled out the hand a bit more, so Jason Brous machined the G10 handle swells to fit the hand perfectly in a forward or reverse grip.

The blade is D2 Steel and it comes with a Kydex sheath by NSR Tactical.

Also available in an aluminum trainer version.

Blade Show 18 – Abraham & Moses Survival Equipment AM-1

June 4th, 2018

I love the story behind Abraham & Moses Survival Equipment. It’s about family.

Abraham & Moses Survival Equipment was founded on a young man’s dream. Bill Geissele was reading stories of backwoods adventures and survival to his son, Abraham. The stories described the age old battle between man and the elements, focusing on the equipment which proved invaluable to man’s survival. Abraham’s interest and imagination were piqued. “Dad, I want to make knives”, the young lad said; and a company named for Bill Geissele’s sons, Abraham and Moses, was born.

At Blade Show, they showed me their new Ferritic Nitro Carbonizing Coating for the AM-1 Knife. With an overall length of 9.5” and a D2 blade measuring 4.6”, it features a full tang construction. G10 handles are available in a variety of colors.
