The American Knife & Tool Institute shared some great news with us.
Today Colorado joins the growing number of states that recognizes the value to their citizens of automatic knives at work or in recreational activities. SB 008 signed into law removes “switchblade knife” and “gravity knife” from the definition of “illegal weapon” in Colorado § 18-12-102.
“This momentum is evidence that Americans continue to realize that automatic knives are tools that can be easily deployed with one hand, providing a real utility for law abiding citizens,” noted CJ Buck, AKTI President. “And AKTI is proud to lead the path in these common sense reforms.”
The American Knife & Tool Institute thanks our members in Colorado for their tremendous help in getting this legislation across the finish line, Senator Owen Hill and Rep. Steve Lepsock for shepherding the legislation through the Colorado legislature, and our supporter John Bloodgood for encouraging his legislators to introduce this change with AKTI’s assistance and help drafting the legislation.
“Colorado continues to show that we are pioneers and westerners, and we will give people every tool available to keep exploring and working” said Senator Hill. “It has been a pleasure working with Rep. Lebsock and the American Knife and Tool Institute to repeal Colorado’s automatic knife prohibition.”
The American Knife & Tool Institute cautions knife owners that concealed carry of any knife with a blade over three-and-one-half (3-1/2) inches is still illegal in Colorado, except for hunting, fishing or sport use. Also, knife owners need to be aware that some cities in Colorado, such as Denver, have additional knife restrictions. While Colorado does not have a statewide knife law preemption, Colorado § 18-12-105.6 offers limited protection to knife owners by providing that state law prevails when someone is traveling in a private vehicle or other private means of transportation. However, if you are not traveling in a private vehicle, local laws may apply.

Everyday, the average American phone user needs two charges for their phones. Yet only 4% of people carry a power bank. For the other 96%, the power bank is not worth the space it takes up.
Consider something else that is good to carry: the flashlight. Flashlights can be useful for providing illumination if the lights go out, alerting oncoming traffic during nighttime, and as a striking surface for breaking car windows in an emergency. Yet, most people only keep one in the drawer at home.
The folks at Matricon Innovations have built a tool combining the two. At roughly the size of 2 smartphones stacked together, the PocKit offers a power bank as well as a flashlight. It also includes a proximity tracker to protect both your belongings and your smartphone. Place the PocKit in you bag, and carry the smartphone on your person. Both will sound an alarm if they get separated.
These functions combine to make the PocKit a useful and versatile tool for everyday carry. They will be launching a Kickstarter campaign on August the 17th. Until then, you can check out their site and sign up for the pre-Kickstarter bonus.
While you can still find the original British Commando sweater, it’s always cool to find other options. In this case, it’s Patagonia’s Men’s Fog Cutter Sweater.
Made from 70% recycled wool/25% recycled nylon/5% other fiber blend; the shoulder patches have a DWR (durable water repellent) finish to shed moisture. However, unlike the British sweater, the Patagonia version does not have elbow patches.

The Magpul DAKA Everyday Wallet is their latest addition to their wallet line. I’ve been using a DAKA wallet since last year and it has really helped me cut down on my wallet clutter.
They added a matte translucent, thermoplastic polyurethane window to keep you from having to dig out your library card all of the time. They say it won’t rip or streak.
I am very happy to see Magpul added a center pocket to add more room for currency. Simply fold your bills in half and they tuck neatly away inside the resized center compartment.
Features:
· Windowed ID pocket
· Center divider pocket for bills and notes
· 10% larger than our Essential Wallet and holds 3-7 cards comfortably
· Reinforced polymer fabric with anti-slip texture
· Welded construction creates permanent impenetrable seals
· Chemical resistant / Non-hygroscopic
· Made in the USA
Now, I just wish they’d add a compartment for my coin.

Newington, NH (August 8, 2017) – The P320 meets U.S. standards for safety, including the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) / Sporting Arms Ammunition Manufacturers’ Institute, Inc. (SAAMI®), National Institute of Justice (NIJ), as well as rigorous testing protocols for global military and law enforcement agencies.
The design of the SIG SAUER P320 overcomes the most significant safety concern in striker- fired pistols today: the practice of pressing the trigger for disassembly. This can be performed with a round in the chamber which has resulted in numerous incidents of property damage, physical injury, and death. The disassembly process of the P320, however, uses a take-down lever rather than pressing the trigger, eliminating the possibility of discharge during the disassembly process.
Recent events indicate that dropping the P320 beyond U.S. standards for safety may cause an unintentional discharge.
As a result of input from law enforcement, government and military customers, SIG has developed a number of enhancements in function, reliability, and overall safety including drop performance. SIG SAUER is offering these enhancements to its customers. Details of this program will be available at sigsauer.com on Monday, August 14, 2017.
The M17 variant of the P320, selected by the U.S. Government as the U.S. Army’s Modular Handgun System (MHS), is not affected by the Voluntary Upgrade.
“SIG SAUER is committed to our approach on innovation, optimization, and performance, ensuring we produce the finest possible products,” said Ron Cohen, President and CEO of SIG SAUER. “Durability, reliability and safety, as well as end-user confidence in the SIG SAUER brand are the priorities for our team.”
