Friday, June 22nd, 2012AUSA – Gerber Emergency Rescue Hook
Thursday, October 13th, 2011It turns out that medics have been using the Gerber Strap Cutter for everyday use so Gerber took a look at the design to see if the could improve upon it. While it is a very functional design, it really only does one thing and that’s cut straps. So they created the new Emergency Rescue Hook. It is longer than the Strap Cutter which gives you more reach to get at more difficult straps that might be pinned. It also offers you more torque when cutting. This feature alone allows medics to cut right through rigger belts, pants and all to expose wounds for treatment. Additionally, Gerber added an oxygen bottle wrench. The molded plastic sheath is PALS compatible.

AUSA – Gerber MP600ST
Thursday, October 13th, 2011The MP600ST (Sight Tool) seems as if the e-FECT (Field Expedient Cleaning Tool) had a baby with an MP600 multi-tool.
It features one-handed opening with slightly enlarged tool locks which keep your tools from closing on your hand. The MP600ST is manufactured from Stainless Steel with Black Oxide Finish and comes with a PALS compatible Tan 499 Sheath.
The biggest additions to the new design are the M4/M16 Front Sight Post Adjustment Tool, Carbon Scraper, and the Long Reach Philips Screwdriver to get at those hard to reach crosstip heads. Additionally, it also features:
• Needlenose Pliers with Crimper Jaws and Carbide Wire Cutters
• Serrated / Fine Edge Knife

Wednesday, October 12th, 2011
Designed in conjunction with Army Special Forces veterans, the new De Facto is a dagger design that favors fighting over camp chores. Intended to quickly get you out of a grapple and give you some breathing room so you can engage the enemy with your side arm, the De Facto features a four-inch spear-point blade of S30V, serrations on both edges of the blade, a Tan 499 rubberized grip and spiked pommel. The De Facto is retained in the PALS-compatible sheath via friction but there is also a back up lock to secure further the knife during infils, etc. Look for it next Spring.
