Not every encounter or engagement is going to be a static target 25 yards away. Most attacks happen within what’s called the combative bubble. If you were to draw a circle around yourself that was 7 yards from your centerline, that is your combative bubble. Anything that happens within this 7 yards will more likely […]
Recently Bill Rapier of AMTAC Shooting has been posting some photos of an interesting knife and sheath combination. When asked about it, Bill pointed me to his new website, AMTAC Blades to sign up for updates of the release which is on Thanksgiving Day. Here is what little we know about the blade, courtesy of his website. […]
Gerber is a great company that offers a lot of quality knives at an affordable price. The Gerber Flatiron confuses me a bit though. If you carry a cleaver as your only blade, you’re missing out on a lot of functionality compared to a blade with a point. If you carry one as a secondary […]
Wabakimi… Just say that a couple times in your head. Wabakimi is such a cool name. “Hey Bro, what knife is that?” “Oh man that’s the Wabakimi“. Helle makes extravagant blades, but not so extravagant that they lose the quality of the blade for appearance. It’s a compromise on each – beauty and blade. The […]
I was packing to leave for a trip to work. I went through my usual checklist – Helmet, Night Vision, Gerber Multi-tool (I wrote a review on that as well, you can see that here), clothing, Gore-tex, MultiCam this – MultiCam that, boots, plate carrier, etc. Long story short, I thought I had everything. I throw my stuff […]
Sharp things are fun. Let’s face it, nothing is more badass than taking a sexy knife or tomahawk into a gunfight, even though that’s rule number one. I’ll be honest with you, Helle knives are now my favorite. I have tried to dull this thing out with continuous use and I just can’t get that […]
Gear loadout is nearly at the top of the list when it comes to mission planning. You check the board and see when you muster, what you are assigned to and what gear you are required to bring. Even before that a lot of thought is given to what type of personal gear to include […]
Let me show you the secrets that no one tells you in Ka-Bar Becker Knife BK16 review! The Ka-Bar Becker BK16 is a great knife to have when outdoors. It is ergonomic, has a full tang, boasts of strong edge retention, modestly-sized, and has a ridged thumb serration perfect for control during carving and other […]
Kyle Defoor is one of the few, if not the only firearms instructor that incorporates blade work and combatives into his training. We’re not talking about folding knives clipped to your pocket either. These are concealed fixed blades with one purpose. To defend your life with. Watch as Kyle goes over the knives he uses and a simple […]
This company was started because we didn’t want to pay $700-$1000 for a blade or wait 6 months to receive it. That was too much to afford on a junior enlisted paycheck and too long to wait on a constantly deploying schedule. Our goal to this day is still the same, develop a handmade process […]
