You can’t predict when things are going to take a change for the worse and you need a tool or a weapon. The guys at Gerber went to people that deal with bad situations every day, law enforcement, and developed the Impromptu Tactical Pen. Made from machined steel with a tempered window-shattering tip, the Impromptu […]
Knives & Tools
Emerson Knives Commander | Survival Folding Knife
The Emerson Knives Commander is celebrating it’s 20 year anniversary this year. Early on Emerson Knives created the ES1-M, which was developed as an all-around survival knife for the SEAL Teams. That knife (The ES1-M) is what we know today as the Emerson Commander knife. Take a look at the photo below out of Tactical Knives […]
Hults Bruk Akka Forester Axe
This axe is easily one of the best-constructed and rugged tools I have ever owned.  The lineage behind Hults Bruk is long and full of rich Swedish history dating back to 1697 which only adds to the axes’ appeal. Upon opening the box for the Akka Forester’s Axe, I immediately noticed how much care had […]
Emerson Seax | Viking blade for the modern age
The Seax (pronounced as a cross between sea-axe and syAX) was a medieval short blade of legend. While the Vikings used it to devastating effect (and fame), many neighboring societies took notice and started using the distinctive shape. One part close fighting tool and one part utilitarian cutting tool, the Seax was a daily part […]
Gerber’s Short Stack: Solid State Multi-Tool
I love getting packages in the mail, especially ones from companies like GERBER containing the Gerber Short Stack Multi-Tool. Gerber is an American company based in Portland, Oregon. All Gerber products are designed and engineered in Portland, OR and it is also where many of their products are produced. All Gerber products, bearing their name, […]
Survival Knife, Gear Review: Looking for a Versatile Tool
A survival knife is a tool and not a fashion statement but for any guys out there that have been in a survival situation or a school environment as in a training course, you’d know that. So it becomes a case of practicality over all else While I’m admittedly no expert on knives, I know […]
Gerber Suspension Multi-Plier | Best Budget Multi-Tool
People spend hundreds of dollars on multi-tools and that’s cool and all but I like quality gear that doesn’t break the bank – I have drinks to buy for girls, money to spend on my truck (She’s always breaking down), rent, and last but not least the “gun fund” as I call it! Let’s put […]
Leatherman Super Tool 300, Quick Look
The award-winning Leatherman Super Tool 300 is the multi-tool for the working man. When you’re working with gloves on, the large side cutouts make it easy to grab components, and the rolled handles make for a comfortable grip. Stranded, hard, and regular wire cutters all come standard on the Super Tool 300, and because they’re […]
Cold Steel Jungle Machete
Machetes are a great tool to have in the arsenal. I’ll be honest in saying that during the majority of my time in the Ranger Regiment, machetes were not all that common. They were, however, used by some lead elements to break through brush when conducting jungle specific operations or movements through the densely vegetated […]
Zero Tolerance ZT0393 | When form meets function
Proudly built in Tualatin, Oregon, ZT Knives was founded in 2006 when they recognized a void in the market for an American made line of hard-use knives. A line of knives suitable for both military and law enforcement use. Since then, ZT has not only continued to over-engineer their offerings for first responders, but offer several daily […]
