HemiSERE is a modernized version of the OSS Lapel Knife made of a Titanium/Ceramic composite.
Because the knife only weighs 4 grams, it can be attached directly to the collar with a “glue dot;” unlike other “lapel knives,” the HemiSERE really can be worn on the lapel 😉 At 1mm thick, it can also be stuck to a credit card, or slipped into a phone case. And of course it can also be integrated into a mini SERE kit.

Gearward has just released their own custom run of EPDM Ranger Bands. Made out of double thickness EPDM rubber, these bands feature high heat, UV, and saltwater resistance.
