Originally published on Breach Bang Clear MNKF: Updated Lock Picking Jack Knife Alexander Crown On this episode of Monday Night Knife Fights we take a look at a modern take on an old classic knife. Back in World War II secret agents were issued a “Jack Knife,” more commonly referred to as the OSS Lockpicking […]
As I continue to build my SR 762 from Ruger (.308) I decided to acquire a chest rig (see the first article in the build series here). I have a plate carrier already (which this rig can attach to), but I wanted something lightweight I could use while hunting with this platform (WA a .308 […]
Morgan Koens is teaming up with Kizer for his first production collaboration, the Salient fixed blade. Fashioned for tactical purposes, Koens says this refined fighting knife can go beyond its intended role and flex into camp chores too. A standout feature on the Salient is its sweeping, full-bellied drop point blade. Previous Kizer fixed blades, beginning […]
As tradition demands, when a man decides to get married his best man must take him somewhere to celebrate. We had a few ideas but finally settled on Texas. Why Texas? Well hog hunting of course. Greig had always wanted to go (so have I), and I had a Ranger buddy who lived in the area who could […]
Courtesy of Breach Bang Clear Apocalypse Josh One of my favorite bladesmith companies, ZU Bladeworx in New South Wales, Australia, is accepting orders for their newest bladed weapon: The Warmonger.

After the articles Ranger Loadout: MK48 Machine Gunner, and Paratrooper Loadout: Airborne School published, I started receiving a number of emails about the Carl Gustav. Aside from Gun Teams there was also a Goose (Carl Gustav) team assigned to Maggots (I hear they are with the 11C guys now). Typically this was a two-man team, […]
As an experienced world traveling vagabond and a zombie film / comic / video game / TV aficionado, that may very well make me a potentially thriving survivor for when this apocalypse does happen. Vagabonds Are Mobile And Mimimalists In many zombie movies, the survivors all carry a backpack holding their only possessions but living […]
The Vedder combines the best of style and function. First, it features an attention-getting handle treatment. The steel handle is titanium-carbo-nitride coated in soft matte grey. But then Kershaw added two 3D-machined G-10 overlays that not only look great, but also enhance grip. On the performance side, the Vedder’s 8Cr13MoV blade offers a razor edge that […]
