About the XM-18:The XM-18 is the combination of over 25 years of old world knife making craftsmanship combined with modern 3D design and CNC technology. The result is a folder that performs like a fixed blade that has become one of the benchmarks in the hard use folder category. The 3 inch XM-18 is built to the same ‘hell-a tough' standard as his larger brother, but just in a smaller size for more discreet cary or for those in restrictive environments.

Tho folks over at RMJ Tactical specialize in making kicka$$ tomahawks and gear, for all sorts of situations and scenarios. The Shrike is an all-round tomahawk with specialties in work that might come in to contact with live electrical wires and other issues where a non-conductive tool is beneficial. This S13 variation features a shorter handle The head features a bearded-style forward edge with sharpened bottom edge. The rear end of the head features a spike profile with sharpened back edge. The most noticeable feature is the grip on the Shrike. Made from a super tough rubber over-molded on the handle, the grip features a textured finish for extra grip. The coolest feature though, is that not only does the rubber give great grip and reduce impact vibration, but it has been tested to be insulated up to 2,000 volts. Meaning if you are chopping and smashing through a wall and connect with a live wire, you have some protection from getting zapped! The but end of the grip features a cap that screws off to gain access to a storage compartment. The axe features a tungsten Cerakote finish for corrosion resistance. Comes with a bottom-eject molded kydex sheath and Low-Ride M.O.C. straps. Comes with a sharpening rod in the grip.
About the Hellhound Tanto: So what did you do when you were a kid? Probably like us: rode your BMX, picked your nose, and played video games. Well, Sean Marfione's dad is Tony Marfione who is the founder of Microtech Knives so understandably, he spent a TON of time around knives and grinders. Sean came up with the Hellhound Tanto which is a stylized tanto with a wicked upswept tip with a upper swedge grind (upper swedge is not sharpened). So father and son teamed up and put the awesomeness that is the Hellhound Tanto and put it in the 'large and in charge' Combat Troodon Chassis.Microtech's Troodon is the little brother to the big, bad Combat Troodon. Same lines and curves, just smaller! Don't let that fool ya into think that the Troodon is not ready for the same tasks as the Combat, though. Perfect for folks that love the design of the Combat Troodon but want something that is a little smaller, or something a bit more discreet.The Frame: Chassis has what Tony Marfione calls his 'Hefted' finish which means the frame of the knife is hand 'sculpted' and the flats have been given a hand rubbed, brushed, semi-polish to contrast with the tumbled flats. All titanium hardware (frame screws, slider, end cap) finished with Microtech's two tone black/blue Ringed engraved detailing.
The Blade: Hand double hollow ground Hellhound tanto profile with aggressive spine serrations and upper swedge, finished with stonewashed bevels and brushed flats.

About the Combat Troodon Interceptor: The melding of two Microtech masterpieces: Tony Marfione has taken the blade profile and attributes of the recent Interceptor survival fixed blade and combined it with the world famous Combat Troodon OTF.
The Blade: Hand double hollow ground Bowie style blade with aggressive spine serrations and two tone, brushed flats and stonewashed bevel finish.

The Blade: Duane's hand V-ground Recurve profile ground from PSF-27 (more on that below). Finished with his super cool Gunmetal finish. No jimping on spine for clean look.
The Frame: Full titanium frame with step milled contoured profile! Frame has satin gold heat transformed finish with a brushed finished top flats. Both sides have been given Duane's Lightning Strike hand-flamed detailing. All upgraded titanium hardware (pivot, screws, etc.) with heat colored finish. Pocket clip can be configured for either left or right side carry.About PSF-27 Steel (Geek Version): PSF27 is a modern version of the old knifemaker favorite D2 (traditional ingot melted steel) produced using Peak Spray Forming technology. The Spray Forming process has has many of the same benefits of the PM (powdered metals process (finer grain structure, more uniform distribution of carbides, etc.) The Spray Forming process results in ever so slightly larger carbides than the PM. In addition, PSF materials tend to have a lower porosity than PM. All that geek talk basically means that PSF27 has a greatly increased (as in about double) toughness and wear resistance when compared to traditional D2 while retaining the qualities of D2 that knife users love.
About PSF-27 Steel (Real World Version): 99% of end users cannot tell the difference between PSF-27, S30V, S35VN, etc. Some users have reported that their PSF-27 knives are a bit easier to sharpen. Bottom line is that Duane does not use any materials he would not bet his life on and it is guaranteed for life. SO, quit overthinking it, and get out and use your gear!Duane's DoD-L is his custom take on the classic Strider SMF. Duane incorporates a titanium frame lock with a second frame side and stand offs rather than the standard one-piece frame/backspacer found on the SMF. This allows for a wider range of material choices and finishes while keeping the knife light weight and incredibly strong! He also gives the lower profile line a slight curve to help the knife feel planted in hand. The pocket clip can be configured for right or left hand carry. Last, lock bar scallop has been move to the inside of the frame to keep the frame flat when configured for left hand carry.

Notes on Copper: This is a disclaimer for all you folks who slept through high school chemistry class or somehow not aware of the nature of copper. All metals will change colors and looks over time depending on use, environment etc. This is especially true with copper. This means it may get a darker, may change colors with patina, or it may get shiny and polished where it is rubbed by another material (like say your pocket). Take those pennies out of your pocket and see how different they all look. Well there ya go: that’s copper! If you want to keep your copper all shiny and new you will have to keep cleaning it with any of the homegrown solutions you can find with an internet search. OR, you can accept that what makes copper a cool material is that your piece will change over time and tell its own stories and truly become one of a kind.
