Gerber LMF II Black Infantry Knife

Posted by Chuck Nelson On June - 29 - 2009

Every self-respecting man deserves a knife he can depend his life on. If the Zombie Apocalypse struck tomorrow, you know that with your one trusty knife, you could camp out in the woods, for days-even weeks, until Will Smith fashions a cure. We loved the Gerber LMF II when it was $140 bucks, but now at $70, there’s no reason not to buy it. Even if the only jungle you’ll ever see is that monstrosity you look at every time you’re in the bathroom.

Go to amazon if you want to hear all the gritty details and some reviews from real men in Iraq who use this knife on the daily, including one sniper team that cut a live wire with this bad boy. It shut down the lights in the city, left a gash in the blade, but the sniper suffered no electrical shock because of the insulated handle.

It has a steel butt on the handle to hammer glass for helicopter escapes (something we at THS do daily), an aggressive serrated blade for cutting brush and rope, and three holes in the handle so you can attach it to a pole and use it as a spear for catch fish, fighting boar, and preforming your best John Locke impression.

As if that wasn’t enough it has a carbine sharpener in the sheath, so it sharpens the blade every time you pull it out. This knife is always ready for action, even if you aren’t

If you’re looking for a great everyday carry tool that has everything you need, and nothing you don’t– look no further than the new Leatherman Cx Skeletool. With a pair of needle-nose pliers, wire cutters/strippers, external bottle opener/carabiner, bit driver, and amazing super-steel serrated blade that opens one-handed even when closed.

It has carbon fiber inserts, and the thing just looks awesome. I personally carry it all the time, and always get compliments and inquiries about it. It even includes a removable belt clip so you can wear it in your waistband and forget about it–that is until you need to crack open your next beer.

Your New Portable Razor

Posted by Chuck Nelson On April - 15 - 2009

For those of you that travel often, or even those that are tired of buying new blades for your handheld razor. Here is a cool new gadget from Braun. This battery operated, self-contained, ultra-portable marvel has earned rave reviews from amazon and is worthy of adding to your travel kit, because unintentional scruff is never in fashion.

This review is what sold us:

This bad boy is really awesome. I kid you not. I had to live out of a suitcase for approximately forty days a little less than a year ago. Since I was in transit and my previous shaver had more or less run itself down, I opted insetad to buy this puppy. Thinking, naturally, that if it lasted me a month it will have still been a sound investment as it was priced so incredibly low.

That was ten months ago.

I use it every day.

Every. Day.

And have changed the batteries once.

Ten months. Every day. One battery swap.

That is all.
