TORIS – TROIKA Knife

May 7th, 2014

20140507-001856.jpg

Developed by Meynard Ancheta of Kali Dynamics with input from Torin Hill of TORIS and made by knife maker Jeff Crowner, the TROIKA is a purpose-built fighting knife intended as an improvement of point-first knives such as the Fairbairn-Sykes fighting knife.

The blade is designed for rapid-penetration/rapid-release, made from CPM 3V steel with Crowner Heat Treatment. The grip, which consists of hand-filed G10 scales, is designed with a neutral shape for style-agnostic use: “point up/down, blade forward/reversed… TROIKA don’t care.”

The TROIKA comes with a TORIS draw-driven Kydex sheath and color matched aluminum trainer knife.

The TROIKA G10 scales come in Graphite, Olive Drab, Coyote, and Black. The trainer G10 scales come in Red, Politician Red, Blueblack, and Politician Blueblack. Mounting options include a belt clip, brass studs, mini Tek-Lok, or Bawidamann small PUP.

Made in America, assembled by Veterans.

Boeing-Bird-of-Prey-front

This week’s post from Tactical-Life.com covers the Boeing Bird of Prey. The YF-118G program, known informally as the ‘Bird of Prey’ due to its distinctive gull-shaped wings, was an advanced stealth aircraft project. Although the Bird of Prey itself was retired, technologies embodied in its design continue to be applied to current black projects.

And Now A Few Words From Our Sponsor – Redux

May 7th, 2014

Since yesterday’s test pattern post featuring USN Veteran and renown science fiction author, Robert Heinlein struck a nerve for some, I felt that this quote is an excellent follow up for all of us. Especially those who think that everything is about them. I can assure you, for once, this one is really about you.

I think we all follow the second part, that we don’t follow rules we find obnoxious. It’s human nature. But I don’t know that we all accept moral responsibility for all of our actions. It’s something to strive for, always.

SOB Law Enforcement Training

May 6th, 2014

Like we told you, the Sheriff is back and he’s peeling back the curtain a little to show us what he’s been up to. In this video, John McPhee shows us some of his training methodology and how he uses Coach’s Eye, a sports training app, to record and review a student’s performance. I’m a big fan of this app which is generally used in the mainstream sports community and McPhee has been leveraging this technology for several years to improve his students’ performance.

Don’t forget to sign up for his newsletter to participate in the daily giveaway ending soon.
