Quick Product Overview:

This Bubba Trailblazer Insulated Stainless Steel Water Bottle, 40 oz works at the beach, at the office or in your car. It will keep your favorite drink cold up to 24 hours with no sweating. Its leak-proof lid securely closes, making this bottle the perfect mess-free travel companion. A durable 3-finger handle integrated in the lid gives you the confidence to carry this large-capacity bottle with you anywhere?  Unscrew the leak-proof lid to add ice cubes and clean thoroughly. For added convenience, you can throw the BPA-free plastic lid onto the top rack of your dishwasher; just remember to hand-wash the stainless steel body and keep it out of the microwave. Rest assured, your Bubba water bottle is guaranteed for life. 

Specifications Of This Product:

  • Vacuum-insulated, double-wall stainless steel water bottle keeps drinks cold up to 24 hours without sweating
  • Easy-to-use, leak-proof spout is convenient on the go
  • Hefty 3-finger handle lets you carry fully loaded large-capacity bottle anywhere with ease
  • Lid can be unscrewed to add ice cubes and clean thoroughly

What I Like About This Product:

I would really like to get a Hydroflask or some other higher priced water bottle but I just cannot justify spending that kind of money.  And then I say “why”?  Why should I spend that kind of money if I do not have to, just to have a great name product.  This Bubba Trailblazer Water Bottle does everything the higher priced water bottles do at about 1/3 the price.  I can fill this water bottle full of ice and add water and I have cold water for at least 24 hours, without any sweating on the outside of the bottle at all.  If you store it in your refrigerator over-night, the ice cubes lasts for many days.

This water bottle has a very secure lid and the handle works great and does not feel flimsy at all.  It is an extremely sturdy water bottle and the colors will work for most peoples tastes.

What I Would Change About This Product:

As much as I like this water bottle there is one thing that I would change about this water bottle.  The outside surface of the water bottle is extremely smooth and can be difficult to hold on to some times.  My solution to this problem was to put some cloth tape around the middle of the bottle, end of issue.  If they used a textured paint when painting this water bottle, this would have solved that problem too.

Final Remarks:

The Bubba Trailblazer 40 oz. Stainless Steel Water Bottle is an excellent choice for anyone that needs a good water bottle.  It keeps your water cold for extended periods of time and will not sweat on the outside of the container.

No matter what kind of an active lifestyle you lead, this water bottle can work for you.  I highly recommend this water bottle for everyday use, it should hold up for a long time and do what you need it to do.

    SMITH’S POCKET PAL KNIFE SHARPENER

    Product Review

    Handy Little Sharpener

    Product: Smith’s Pocket Pal Knife Sharpener

    Price: $10.36

    Durability: High

    Best Place To Buy This Product: Amazon.com

    My Overall Rating: 9.0

    Quick Product Overview:

    Smith’s new “Pocket Pal” Multi-Functional Knife Sharpener features pre-set crossed carbides and ceramic stones, which provide the “Perfect Edge” every time. Carbides provide quick edge setting, and the specially shaped ceramic stones are designed to give you a razor sharp edge on either standard or serrated edges. A fold out, tapered round, diamond coated rod is designed for sharpening serrations and small gut hooks. Unit is compact, lightweight, durable, and comes with a lanyard hole.

    Specifications Of This Product:

    • Tapered Round Diamond Coated Rod for Sharpening Serrated and Standard Edges
    • Carbide Blades (Coarse CARBIDE Slot) Quickly Set Your Edge
    • Ceramic Stones (Fine CERAMIC slot) Give You a Razor Sharp Edge
    • Reversible and Replaceable Carbide and Ceramic Stones for Extended Sharpening
    • Preset Sharpening Angles 
    • Lanyard hole for Carrying

    What I Like About This Product:

    The two things that I like about this knife sharpener is  functionality and size.  This little sharpener really works!  Having both carbide blades and ceramic  stones make this Little Pal  a very good tool to use. The carbide blades are for coarse sharpening and the ceramic stones are to get a finer sharpening of that knife.  Not to forget the round diamond coated rod that works well for serrated edges.  You put that all together in a package that fits in your pocket and what more could you ask for.

    What I Would Change About This Product:

    This little sharpener works so well for me I do not have any changes for it.

    Final Remarks:

    I have used this Smith’s Pocket Pal for many years and it has worked great for me.  Is this what I use to put a good edge on my knives at home, No!  But it goes in my backpack and I use it in the field to touch up my knives when the need arrises.  I highly recommend this knife sharpener to keep your knives sharp!

      WORK SHARP KNIFE & TOOL SHARPENER

      Product Review

      The Best Knife Sharpener I Have Ever Used

      Product: Work Sharp Knife & Tool Sharpener

      Price: $69.95

      Durability: High

      Best Place To Buy This Product: Amazon.com

      My Overall Rating: 9.0

      Quick Product Overview:

      The Work Sharp Knife & Tool Sharpener is the first knife sharpener designed to sharpen every knife you own. Using flexible abrasive belts, the sharpener is able to sharpen not just straight bladed knives, but also curved knives, tanto blades, filet knives, serrated knives, gut hooks and virtually any other shape of knife blade. The Work Sharp Knife & Tool Sharpener uses precision angle sharpening guides to ensure that you get the proper angle every time. Two guides are included: a 50° guide for hunting and outdoor knives (25° per bevel) and a 40° guide for thinner blades and kitchen knives (20° per bevel).

      Professional knife makers use flexible belts to put a razor sharp edge on their blades, and now you can have the same technology at home to use any time your knives get dull. Sharpening scissors requires the use of the scissor guide. Freehand sharpening cannot create the consistent edge necessary for scissors to cut. The scissor guide is set at 65° based on the most common scissor edge angles. The guide is designed for common “household” size scissors, including kitchen and shop shears. A 60° angled scissor guide is available on the optional 40° Outdoor Knife Guide. It is possible to regrind damaged scissor blades to 65° or 60° angle regardless of the original angle of the edge.

      What I Like About This Product:

      This sharpening system is extremely easy to use and the end results are excellent.  The directions are very easy to follow, so your knife sharpening experience is a good one.  With the flexible belt and the guides it takes most of the chance for error away.  This is a great knife sharpener.

      What I Would Change About This Product:

      This machine is well thought out and therefore has removed problems associated with it’s use.  I do not have any things to change at the moment.

      Final Remarks:

      The Work Sharp Knife & Tool Sharpener is a very easy knife sharpener to use.  After one or two knives, you begin to get the hang of using it.  In my opinion, a sharp knife is the only kind to have.  A “dull” knife does not work as it should, you might as well be using a butter knife.  This machine makes it possible to keep your knves sharp and alway ready for whatever you need them to do.  I highly recommend this knife sharpener.

        FOX 479/499 FOLDING KARAMBIT KNIVES

        Product Review

        An Excellent Folding Karambit at a Reasonable Price

        Product: Fox 479 or 599 Karambit Knife

        Price: $116.12 – 127.46

        Durability: Very High

        Best Place To Buy This Product: Amazon.com

        My Overall Rating: 9.5

        Quick Product Overview

        The Fox 479 G10 Black Folding Karambit is the best self-defense tool and utility knife available on the market. Whether you need a utility knife to open boxes and clamshell packaging or a reliable self-defense tool, Fox karambits are a force to be reckoned with. If you want the most reliability in any situation where a need arises for a good blade that works and works well, this is your knife.

        This knife utilizes the Emerson Wave, which is the most effective and efficient deployment option available in the knife industry. The patented Emerson Wave allows you to fully deploy your karambit effortlessly with just one hand. It is strong, has a consistent edge with a high degree of sharpening,  with enhanced edge retention.  Very easy to conceal.  It has a safety ring for a sure and secure grip, even in extreme environments and the safety ring allows you to utilize in less-than lethal situations by keeping the closed karambit in your hand.  Works for hand sizes measuring 3.6″ or over across the back of your knuckles. If smaller, see Fox 599

        Specifications Of This Product:

        Overall Length – 7.60″ in

        Blade Length – 3.00″ in

        Blade Thickness – 0.11″ in

        Blade Material – N690Co Steel

        Blade Grind:Plain

        Blade Finish – Black Teflon

        Edge Type – Single Edged

        Handle Length – 5.00″ in

        Handle Material – G10

        Handle Thickness – 0.50″ in

        Handle Color – Black

        Closed Length – 5.00″ in

        Lock Type – Liner Lock

        Liner Material – Stainless Steel

        Weight – 4.60 oz

        Attachment – Reversible Clip

        Emerson Wave – Yes

        What I Like About This Product:

        This knife feels really good in my hand, has a lightweight feel, smooth to the touch. The Blade comes very sharp right out of the box and it did not need any “touch-ups” with my ceramic stone. The lockup is tight, there is zero play in the blade, this Karambit is well made and sturdy. The patented wave-shaped opening mechanism makes this knife open very easily when deploying it from my pocket.  While it does take some practice getting it to open from your pocket, this mechanism works very well.

        What I Would Change About This Product:

        One thing that I was not aware of until after I purchased this knife.  When purchasing this knife through Amazon or another online store, Fox knives will not insure their knives due to “being unable to confirm the original source of the product or reliability of the seller” this goes for all genuine fox karambits.

        Final Remarks:

        This Fox Karambit Folding Knife is a very beautiful and great knife, for the price, this is one of the best self-defense tools available. The grip is very solid due to the finger grips of the handle, it really fits my hand very well.  The blade is made from N690 stainless steel which came very sharp and seems to hold a good edge.  One of the big positives for this knife is the Emerson wave feature, that helps you deploy the blade with only one hand.  Since this mechanism is not real aggressive, it does take some practice to become successful with it.  Mine came with a hex key to change the location of the pocket clip.  I highly recommend this folding karambit for self defense use.

          COMP-TAC KICK & MUDDY RIVER TACTICAL CLAW

          Product Review

          These are two examples of a holster accessory that is available for many different holsters right now that all have the same end result.  They push on your belt from the inside of your pants and twist your holster so the butt of your gun is pushed inward toward your body.  I initially thought it was for appendix carry holsters only but they also work for any IWB holster.  I feel they are a necessity if you want your handgun to conceal well.

          Comp-tac Holster w/ Kick attachment
          Muddy River Holster w/ Claw attachment

          Product: Comp-Tac Kick 

          Price: $9.99

          Durability: Very High

          Best Place To Buy This Product: Amazon.com or Comp-tac.com

          My Overall Rating: 9.5

          Product: Muddy River Claw

          Price: $10.00

          Durability: Very High

          Best Place To Buy This Product: MuddyRiverTactical.com

          My Overall Rating: 9.5

          Quick Product Overview:

          The claw or kick attachments hit the market roughly a year ago and is now made by multiple companies.  These attachments are designed to ride against your belt, on the outside of the trigger guard to push the grip of the firearm towards your body.  It is quite amazing the difference it can make on mid to full size firearms.  These attachments were initially designed strictly for appendix carry.  But now they have had success in all  IWB carry holster positions.  If you are having any issues with concealment at all, this may be the answer to your prayers!  Many people are now looking to upgrade to a  IWB Kydex Holster with Claw or kick to take your concealment to the next level! 

          Specifications Of This Product:

          These attachments are available in left and right hand. The holes of the are minimum .5″ apart and maximum .75″ to be used with multiple holster products. 

          What I Like About This Product:

          The minute I put them on my holsters I could feel the difference.  The gun butt immediately turned toward my body and held it there.  There was not the slightest printing of my handgun through my cover garment.  So they work really well.

          What I Would Change About This Product:

          This attachments works very well and does not need to be changed.

          Final Remarks:

          These are two examples of products that are made on the market. I used these two examples because I have their holsters.  If you are interested in this type of attachment, check with your specific holster maker first to see if they have this attachment.  If they are made for your specific holster, it will fit perfectly.  If they do not have them, then think about ordering from another holster maker.  Regardless of who you get them from, they really help your concealability and I highly recommend them.

            GUNFIGHTERS, INC., KENAI CHEST HOLSTER

            Product Review

            One Of The Best Outdoor Holster Made

            Product: Gunfighters, INC, Kenai Chest Holster

            Price: $150.00

            Durability: Very High

            Best Place To Buy This Product: Amazon.com

            My Overall Rating: 9.5

            Quick Product Overview:

            The Kenai Chest Holster was designed as the ultimate way to carry a firearm when hiking, camping, backpacking or any other outdoor activity where having a firearm on your hip is inconvenient or impossible.  This holster was designed for all day comfort, no matter what you’re doing in the outdoors, the placement of the firearm on your chest enables you to be ready for anything, without compromising on comfort or your choice of firearm.  When a firearm is placed in a secure and comfortable position, it is more easily ready to draw when needed. The Kenai Chest Holster is a perfect pairing with a modern firearm such as the Glock 40 MOS or a classic big bore revolver such as the Ruger Super Redhawk.   You can carry as big of a gun as you’d like with maximum comfort and accessibility.  

            Specifications Of This Product:

            These holsters are made of a blend of Kydex and Nylon for excellent retention characteristics, unyielding to weather and light weight.  The buckles are strategically located to be out of way of pack straps, rifle slings and binocular slings. The wide, flat webbing maximizes comfort while preventing chafing or hot spots.  It’s adjustable for most body types and can be worn low or high on the chest.  The harness has a 4-way stretch yoke to increase comfort and mobility.  The yoke was designed so that it sits flat to reduce pressure points while wearing a backpack – an important consideration when carrying a heavy load.  Your firearm is available without fumbling with snaps, straps, zippers, or buttons.

            The harness is sewn in house by GunfightersINC of 100% US made Nylon.  It’s solution-dyed for long-term durability and color fastness.  Additionally, all thread is coated with waterproofing and is UV resistant for a long lifespan. 

            What I Like About This Product:

            This holster is extremely handy and can even be worn with a backpack that has a waist belt.  I like Kydex so this holster is a natural for me.  It fits your handgun perfectly and the nylon webbing and buckles work great no matter what the weather.  The firearm snaps in this holster very securely so whether you are riding a horse, on a 4-wheeler, hiking, walking or anything else in the outdoors, this holster really works.  

            What I Would Change About This Product:

            I really like this holster and harness system and while I have used it for the last year, I have not found anything that I would change about this holster.

            Final Remarks:

            The Kenai Chest Holster is a rock solid outdoor holster.  The materials used can really defy the elements very well.  Rain, hail or snow, it works and works very well.  The design of this holster keeps it secure, where you need it to be.  The centered position on the chest allows for a quick draw from any position, even when wearing bulky winter clothing or seated in a vehicle.  No need to rig things together  or carry your firearm in your pack or on your hip.  The Kenai Chest Holster gives you the confidence you need in that split moment when every second matters. Having your handgun on your chest makes it easy to get to no matter what you have on your back.  I highly recommend this holster because it works, yes it is not cheap, but good things seldom are these days.

              My Overall Rating: 9.0

              Quick Product Overview:

              MTech Tactical Karambit Neck Fixed Blade Knife, Model MT664BK. 7″ overall. 3 1/4″ curved design karambit style blade. One-piece black finish 440 stainless construction with integrated finger ring. Machined hole cutouts. Molded black sheath with belt/pocket clip.

              • Sheath: ABS
              • Sheath Weight: 1.6 oz.

              What I Like About This Product:

              This is an excellent knife for the money.  This knife is an $11.00 knife and is made extremely well for that price. It was pretty sharp right out of the box but I touched it up with my ceramic stone and it is very sharp now.  I use it with my appendix holster as a last ditch self defense knife. Since this is only a self defense knife, I do not cut paper. cardboard, etc. with it, I just keep it for self defense use only.  It comes with a plastic sheath that is OK, but not the best in my book, I will elaborate below.  My hands are about average size and this knife fits my hand very well with minimal hot spots.  

              What I Would Change About This Product:

              The knife itself is very functional but the sheath needs some work.  The belt clip is terrible, it does not really work at all.  You can slip it on the belt but it does not stay securely.  It would be easy to drill out the rivots and rivot a new belt clip that would work, even a belt loop would be better then what came with it.  The sheath is very tight so if you attached a belt clip that would hold the sheath on your belt, it might loosen up with use.  I am going to make my own sheath out of Kydex, using a toaster oven and a clamp setup that I already make.  When I get this done I may do a quick article on how it is done.  I cannot justify spending $30 – 40 on a new sheath for an $11 knife.

              Final Remarks:

              I do not mind buying knives that are inexpensive, as long as they are comfortable and functional and this Mtech 664 BK Tactical Karambit knife is both to me.  This knife holds a good edge, sharpens easily and is comfortable in my hand.  I bought this as a self defense weopon and it can be used exactly for the purpose I desired.  If you are looking for a good last ditch knife for self defense, this might be the one you are looking for.  I highly recommend this knife but do not recommend the sheath as was shipped to me.

                  My Overall Rating: 9.5

                  Quick Product Overview:

                  The Hi Jinx™ Z is a gentleman’s everyday carry blade with all the classical curves and subtle elegance that has become the anthem of a Ken On-ion knife. This gentleman’s knife has a shapely black glass-reinforced nylon handle with a “feel” that is just right. The satin drop point blade features a sleek flat grind, that will hold a good edge and it matches the handle’s good looks.  The Hi Jinx™ Z blade opens with a flipper and includes an IKBS™ ball bearing pivot system that facilitates fast and smooth opening and it has a stainless steel frame lock that holds this knife in the open position very securely. The pocket clip is reversible for left or right handed use and can be carried tip up or tip down and is designed to sit deep in the pocket.

                  StyleFolding Knife w/Liner Lock

                  What I Like About This Product:

                  The first thing that comes to mind when I think of this knife is the smoothness of the IKBS™ Ball Bearing Pivot System.  It is unbelievable how smooth it really is.  The blade is equipped with a flipper that aids in deployment of this knife.  Right out of the box it works well but seems to get better the more you use it.  If we continue with the blade, it’s sharpness is excellent just out of the box.  There was no reason for me to touch it up with my ceramic stone, it was just that sharp.  The blade also locks up very well, which helps to make this knife very sturdy.  It’s a great little knife.

                  What I Would Change About This Product:

                  This knife fits my needs and is everything I wanted in a knife.  At this point I do not have anything I would change about this knife.

                  Final Remarks:

                  When I think of the CRKT Hi Jinx Z knife I think of a smooth, sharp knife that is very cool looking.  It fits very well in my pocket and does not feel like I have a 2 x 4 in there.  When deploying this knife it has the smoothest action of any knife I have owned and the blade was extremely sharp right out of the box.  The lock-up of the blade was very tight and it disengaged easily.  The pocket clip is shorter than I am used to but does the job and is reversable.  I highly recommend this knife for anyone that wants a really good knife.

                    Durability: High

                    Best Place To Buy This Product: Amazon.com

                    My Overall Rating: 9.0

                    Quick Product Overview:

                    This elegant pen is made for double-duty, use it daily as great pen and as a personal protection tool. The tungsten carbide tip can break a car window in 2 seconds or be used as a self defense tool.  The SWAT Pen by the Atomic Bear exhibit simple and solid construction and has a great feeling in your hand.  It has a remarkable grip that can deliver a devastating strike. The cap is solid and tight with an audible click on both ends when switching between pen and glass breaker/weapon functions. 

                    Comes with a practical heavy duty nylon belt sheath for your EDC comfort, and has a lifetime warranty and a spare black ink cartridge. It is a plain and simple design but it won’t break either!  This pen is made of sturdy military grade aluminum machined to perfection and it will not rust. 

                    Specifications Of This Product:

                    Carrying pouch

                    The exclusive one-action-grip pouch attaches to belts up to 3 inches wide and it quickly opens with a Velcro flap.  It is made of 300D nylon fabric using super strong nylon stitches. You can open the pouch and grasp the pen in one quick movement. 

                    Smashing End

                    This pen has an impact end that can break glass, ceramics and even certain metals. The tip is made from an extremely hard super alloy called tungsten carbide.

                    Solid Grip

                    The S.W.A.T. pen allows a thumb grip which is the only correct way to fully transfer your power to the target.

                    Smart Cap

                    Don’t waste your time to screw the cap on and off for writing. With this survival pen you simply clip the cap on either side. The cap belt/pocket clip is remarkably useful.

                    What I Like About This Product:

                    When I think of this pen, it does what it is supposed to do – write!  And it writes really well.  It is one of the smoothest writing pens I have ever had and it is a heavy-weight pen that is extremely sturdy.  They claim it can break glass and with the Tungston tip that comes on this pen,  I’m sure it can and that’s pretty cool!  Now the glass tip is also the self defense end of the pen, its a nasty point that could do some damage to whatever it comes in contact with.

                    What I Would Change About This Product:

                    Within the parameters that I have used this pen, I did not find anything that it did not do as claimed.  Therefore it does what I expected it to do so I do not have anything negative to say.

                    Final Remarks:

                    A pen is a pen, is a pen! Wrong!  This SWAT pen is a pen and more!  It writes like a dream but is sturdy enough to break glass and to use as a weapon.  So it’s a PEN and MORE!  Enough said!
