With its machined handle and integrated backspacer, the Launch 7 has an industrial look that takes it out of the ordinary—way out of the ordinary. With a long 3.75-inch clip-point blade of CPM 154, the Launch 7 offers a long, lean profile. The steel is the powdered metallurgy version of the popular 154 CM knife […]
Team Wendy EPIC helmet liner: Custom comfort and protection As so many soldiers who took part in the War on Terror know, one of the biggest source of injury is head trauma resulting from being thrown up and down in a vehicle during a mine blast. Add to that hours of foot patrols with helmets […]
Communism was fought across the lands of Midgard. From the forests of Vietnam to the Tropics of Africa. As it happens, in a land called Rhodesia, a piece of the Red Tides equipment was modified by troopers of the SAS. From Rhodesia this kit, a method of storing rifle magazines on the chest, morphed into the chest rigs […]
Austin McGlaun is following up his award-winning Clever Girl with another CRKT Forged By War fixed blade, the Rakkasan. Informed by his experiences as a former cop and soldier in Iraq, McGlaun says he designed the Rakkasan to be a high performance, low-maintenance hard use tool for warriors.

Gareth Bull is bringing the OffShoot mini scalpel to market after an incredible social media response to the original.
