Vets Corps and SOTech support the VA

June 9th, 2015

We received this great note from our friends at SOTech.  They continue to do great things with the Veterans community in SoCal.

  

Normally we are announcing new product designs, but today we are honored that we were able to apply our skills to support the West Los Angeles Veterans Administration Hospital. Secretary Robert McDonald came out to ceremonially reopen the gates of the campus signalling a new day for the campus. A lot of momentous changes have been instituted by the VA and they are returning it to being a “Home for Veterans” rather than just a hospital. The VA asked Vets Corps to make copies of the original 1888 bronze plaques that read “National Soldiers Home”. Vets Corps volunteered SOTech employee Clark Acton who spent years in the film industry making rubber dummy guns to create the casts. At SOTech, Clark pours molds to make resin forms of radios, trauma plates, optics and weapons for pouches from originals that customers supply. This time Clark, a veteran himself, got to make a symbol that will welcome Veterans in Los Angeles to their Soldiers Home for decades to come.

Adams Industries Update

June 9th, 2015

We received this update from Adams Industries.

  
1. 3D Filter Sets: This product is in production and we have delivered over a hundred sets to government end users. They love it. If you have a binocular goggle that accepts PVS-14 style screw-in filters then you can order this product TODAY. Price is $195 per set. We are working on other variants like the PVS-31 and expect to be done with that soon.

2. Color Night Vision (CNVG). OK, so it was color, then it was HD because we tried to make a filter set that would work but everybody said it sucked out too much light and now we have an agreement in place to get the special color tubes we need and the first production tubes will be delivered on the 15th of this month; which means the first CNVG goggles will roll out by the end of the month. We already have military customers lined up. I have attached pictures (seen above). Yes, I know that the bushes are red. Anything that reflects IR heavily including many bushes will show up red. So you’ll be aware of that for the first five minutes, and then you’ll be so happy with the contrast it gives you that it won’t cross your mind again. So, to answer the question everybody is going to ask: Yes. American Citizens residing inside the USA can buy CNVG goggles. They are $16,000; they come in a SENTINEL dual gain control form factor, and delivery is 45 days ARO unless you happen to hit us on a day when we have just received a shipment of tubes and they’re not all spoken for (don’t hold your breath, seriously).

3. SENTINEL SALE. Yep, a sale. Why? Well you try developing color night vision out of your own pocket! Time to generate some cash flow baby. We are offering SENTINEL YG goggles (ITT/EXELIS OMNI VIII MIL SPEC TUBES) $6,750 per unit until the end of this coming week (that’s Friday the 12th for those of you who need to mark your calendar). After that right back to $7,950.

4. LEGIONNAIRE SALE. This one is for LEGIONNAIRE clip-on with L3 OMNI VIII tube. $4,000 until the end of the week. After that back to $4,500.

Sneak Peek – New Clothing Designs from Triple Aught Design

June 8th, 2015

Some of you may have already seen this guy at one of the Triple Aught Design stores in the San Francisco Bay area but this was my first glimpse of their preview mannequin.

  

so far, none of these three garments have official names. There is a NYCO Jacket which uses the same 50/50 Nylon Cotton ripstop blend as many of their pants. Inspired by racing jackets, it’s DWR treated and features TAD logo slotted buttons at the cuff. Next, is the new pant which uses the same cut as the Intercept Jean but integrates the new Made in USA, FR Doomsday Canvas fabric. Incidentally, the Intercept Jean is the best selling garment in TAD history.

  

But, you’re going to see the Primer Henley first which combines the design of the Hunstman Henley with the waffle patterned material of the Primer Crew, so I’ll give you a little closer look. As you can see, it also incorporates the TAD logo slotted buttons down the neck.

Winkler Knives to Introduce Traditions Line

June 8th, 2015

I’ve coveted Daniel Winkler’s handmade traditional knives for years but collectors snatch them up as soon as they are available.  So when I walked up to the Winkler Knives booth and saw this, my jaw dropped.  

  
I saw a lot of really cool stuff during my afternoon at Blade Show 2015 but for me personally, this was the best. Daniel Winkler started out making traditional Early American knife designs as a reenactor. If you’ve seen “Last of the Mohicans” you’ve seen Daniel’s craft.  It’s that style which gained him his initial notoriety and eventually led to his line of tactical knives and tomahawks when a SEAL asked him to make a custom Hawk.  

 

Daniel told me that this new Winkler Knives Traditions line would be released later this year. They are more of a production knife but will incorporate details found in his custom models. For example, the steel is the same 80CRV2 used in his production blades but the handles will incorporate more traditional materials such as antler and Maple as well as leather, which also be used for the beaded sheaths. Priced between $600 and $900 these will be blades that you can afford to own as well as use.
