Powered by a 12-micron Boson thermal camera core, the FLIR ThermoSight […]
Bladerunners Systems (BRS) had their ear to the balisong community when they designed the Replicant. It’s packed with features that flippers look for, like rounded handles and a crowned blade spine that make fast twists and twirls more comfortable. In a marketplace where production balisongs can sell for $500+, the Replicant offers truly elite performance for less. […]
Courtesy of Tactical Life Ruger has announced what it’s terming a “safety bulletin”—not a recall—for certain Ruger Precision Rifles. According to the press release, the issue here is that some Ruger Precision Rifles might experience interference between the aluminum bolt shroud and the cocking piece, also known as the firing pin back.

It sucks, but if you want to go places like the airport, theme parks, courthouses, concerts or a multitude of other places, it’s a […]
Courtesy of Tactical Life Let’s travel back in time to 1977. Jimmy Carter was in the White House, KISS was the biggest band in the world, the first “Star Wars” film had just hit theaters, and Steyr Mannlicher designed the short-stroke, gas-piston-operated Steyr AUG, which was adopted by the Austrian Army as its official battle rifle […]

Nobody was expecting to see a non-locking folder from the company best known for their proprietary locking system, but the response to – and demand for – the Proper has been huge. The aptly-named Proper is very much a gentlemanly knife, with a 2.9-inch blade and classy red G-10 or green canvas […]
