Winkler Knives – Legacy Axe and Recon Knife

June 16th, 2016

Winkler Knives unveiled two new products at the recent Blade Show designed with US Navy and Army Veteran Special Operator Kevin Holland. He is the guy who first came to Daniel Winkler to create a military axe so it’s great to see him lend his experience toward new designs.

This is the Legacy Axe which shares some lines from that first model that Kevin carried ino combat. One of the biggest changes is the swept back handle which doesn’t constantly catch on the leg as you walk. You’ll also note that the top half of the handle is skeletonized and wrapped in 550 cord. As with all Winkler Knives handle options include maple and rubber (chiseled is optional) but I’m sure you could get micarta if you asked.

Below, you can see the Recon Knife. Offered with or without teeth, it was designed specifically by Holland as a companion for the Legacy Axe.

I ran across these and thought they were pretty cool. Waterbrick International offers these containers for bulk storage of various items that can be stacked.

The secret is in the design. Not only do they boast handles but they also have molded protrusions and indentations that allow the bricks to interlock when stacked.

This design also gives you a lot of options for stowage and portage.

Yes, they are food amd water safe.

Combat Strength Training Launches New Web Site/ Training Platform

June 15th, 2016

Most SSD readers know Patrick “Mac” McNamara from his series of Gunfighter Moments he has shared on behalf of Alias Training & Security Services. Now, Mac has launched a new website for his Combat Strength Training (CST) methodology. CST is a fitness training methodology Mac developed as a result of his time spent in the US Army Special Operations community during his twenty-two year career there. The approach retrofits the Combat Chassis (a.k.a. the body) so that it performs with maximum efficiency at maximum capacity.

In addition to a new layout, the new site offers five (5) new training modules for members.

1. Explainer/ How-To videos: In process of building an expansive library of explainer videos to break down the CST exercise movements to help you get the most out of your workouts. Pat also goes into detail regarding “why we do this” in the context of its tactical application in the combat / real-world environment.

2. Workout Program Templates (a.k.a. Chassis Guides): Initially a 4-week on-ramp workout program template for each of the four (4) Combat Chassis Types will be released. These on-ramp workout programs were developed in conjunction with an elite strength and conditioning coach based on the CST methodology and will jump start your training for your Combat Chassis upgrade.

3. Members Blog: This is not some half-baked corporate-sounding blog with weak and generic content. Every week the cadre of expert contributors will be opening up the CST toolbox of premium articles to help you keep your Combat Chassis tuned up. Some articles are free to the public.

4. Full-Length CST Seminar: The full-day CST Seminar (4+ hours of instruction) taught by Pat is now available on streaming video. This is for those who want to go behind the scenes of CST and get a ton of new content never released publicly until now.

5. Live Monthly Webinars with Pat: Participate in a live Q&A Webinar with Pat every month. In these hour-long webinars multiple topics will be discussed related to: combat applications of CST, performance-based training methodology, mindset, the various Combat Chassis types, programming, nutrition, prehab/ injury prevention, preparation for various military selection programs, and much more!

To learn more about these new training modules and the CST methodology, go to www.combatstrengthtraining.com.
