SCHRADE SCH109 KNIFE

Product Review

Great Knife At A Nice Price

Product: Schrade SCH109 Knife

Price: $28.09

Durability: High

Best Place To Buy This Product: Amazon.com

My Overall Rating: 9.0

Quick Product Overview:

The Schrade 109 folding knife features nicely textured, contoured G10 handles paired with a liner lock and a blade made from 9Cr18MoV high carbon stainless steel. This tactical design has an ergonomic, comfortable shape, and fast action thanks to the flipper mechanism. It has a non-reversible deep carry pocket clip set up for tip down carry and a finger choil that locks the knife into your hand.

Specifications Of This Product:

Blade Length: 3.5″ (8.9 cm)
Blade Steel: 9Cr18MoV High Carbon Stainless Steel
Closed Length: 4.7″ (11.9 cm)
Overall Length: 8.2″ (20.8 cm)
Handle Material: Textured G10
Weight: 5.9 oz. (167 g)
Made in China

What I Like About This Product:

This is an excellent knife at a very reasonable price. It can be used as a flipper or you can utilize the thumb stud to deploy the blade. This knife came very sharp right out of the box and with a few stokes on my ceramic steel was all it needed to be razor sharp. A very good value for the money.

What I Would Change About This Product:

One thing I would like to see changed is the bead blast finish, I do not care for that! As soon as I got the knife I removed the thumb-stud, so I could refinish the entire blade and sanded the blade with 400-800 grit sand paper. With a little work it removed that bead blast finish and was closer to a satin finish that I like on my knives. Then I replaced the thumbstud and I was back in business.

Final Remarks:

The Schrade SCH109 Folding Knife is a very good knife. Does it compare to a $200 knife, not hardly! But would I carry this knife for my EDC knife, absolutely! Schrade makes some to best economical knives on the market. If you have a thing against knives made in China, then you might not like this knife. But I do not carry expensive knives because I tend to loose them now and then, so this knife does all I need it to do and a price I can stand to loose. I do recommend this knife for a daily carry knife.

What I Like About This Product:

I like that the quality is extremely high when using a LEATHERMAN product. I like the fact that this is a basic multi-tool, stripped-down to the bare essentials.

I also like the fact that it has a pocket hook on it so you do not need a case for it – like I said simple!

What I Would Change About This Product:

I thought long and hard about this question and honestly I cannot think of anything – it’s a great multi-tool just the way it is.

Final Remarks:

The Leatherman Skeletool is an awesome multi-tool that I highly recommend. It is one of those tools that just work! Is it perfect – Maybe – Almost for me that is. I like this Multi-tool!

What I Like About This Backpack:

My top four “likes” about the Vertx Dead Letter Sling Pack:

This pack works for left-handed people! Many times it feels like we live in a right-handed world, and “we” left-handers have to learn to adapt. But not this time! Thank you Vertx for beginning to make your packs workable for lefties.
This 12 L capacity helps me to keep my capacity to just what I need. It is necessary to think about my needs and thats a good thing.
This pack is setup for concealed carry and has a ton of room to do it. One quick pull on the “Rapid Access Tab” and the pack is pulled from your shoulder to the front of your body and the compartment is opened up, all in one motion. Way Cool! The easier you can get to your firearm, the faster it can be deployed. Excellent design!
This pack is so versatile! I can carry it by the handle, or over my shoulder like a messenger bag, or I can carry it over my back like a sling pack, all in one backpack. One pack that can be carried three different ways.

This pack is great looking – especially the green color and it does not shout “gun”!

What I Would Change About This Backpack

I really like this backpack, it meets most all of my needs. There is one little thing that I would change. The bottom of this pack is not flat! It is kind of rounded and if you set this pack down on your seat or floorboard, it rolls over and lays flat. Mind you that is not at all a deal breaker, just something I might change. The solution to that is to always plce the front of the backpack toward the seat-back, that way it does not roll forward.

Final Remarks:

The Vertx Dead Letter Sling Pack is an awesome pack that I highly recommend. It is one of those packs that just work! Is it perfect – No! But there are so many more pluses to this pack that the couple of things you might change do not even count. It carries 12 L of gear in a very organized manner. It can be setup for left or right-handed people and it carries a concealed handgun in a fast to access but secure manner. No matter how you carry it, it works well and that’s a good thing. Keep up the good work Vertx and maybe you can work on some of your other packs to work for lefties.

BLUE ALPHA GEAR COBRA EDC BELT

Product Review

A Great Nylon Web EDC Belt

Product: Blue Alpha Gear Cobra EDC Belt

Price: $59.97

Durability: Very High

Best Place To Buy This Product: Amazon.com

My Overall Rating: 9.0

Quick Product Overview:

Whether you carry everyday, or just want a solid belt that will withstand abuse without sacrificing comfort, the Blue Alpha Gear COBRA® EDC Belt is a perfect choice. The EDC belts are made from two layers of high quality 1.5″ nylon webbing that are sewn together with matching color bonded nylon thread creating an extra strong and extra stiff belt that looks great. The sizing is specific to each pant size, yet allows for movement of your waistline or for the extra space you need for your IWB daily carry.

Specifications Of This Belt

Our EDC belts are made from two layers of high quality 1.5″ nylon webbing that are sewn together with matching color bonded nylon thread creating an extra strong and extra stiff belt that looks great. It has Hook and Loop to make quick and easy adjustments for your sizing. The Cobra buckle gives you fast and secure attachment together.

What I Like About This Belt:

It is not necessary to take apart your belt to get it through the belt loops like many other nylon belts, One end of the Cobra buckle is smaller and easily fits through the belt loops on my jeans. The Hook and Loop fasteners an the waist adjustments is fast, easy and secure. This web belt is extremely ridig and carries gear really nice, no bend, no sag, just very secure.

What Could Be Changed About This Belt:

Initially I was not a big fan of nylon web belts, but after using this belt I have come around to see them as an asset. I honestly cannot find anything to change, it’s a great belt and can carry about anything you need on your belt.

Final Remarks:

After using this belt on and off for the last six months I really like this belt! Will it replace my leather belt – NO! But I have a new respect for this type of belt. Old ways die hard and once a leather belt guy, always a leather belt guy. But I see why people like these belts and I have found a new respect for them. I will not hesitate to wear this belt whenever I wear my appendix holster and that occurs almost more then my IWB holster. Great Belt, I highly recommend it.

MAXPEDITION MICRO WALLET

Product Review

Great Starter Minimalist Wallet

Product: Maxpedition Micro Wallet

Price: $12.68

Durability: Very High

Cheapest Place to Buy This Product: Amazon.com

My Overall Rating: 9.5 to 10

QUICK PRODUCT OVERVIEW:

The Micro Wallet is truly a minimal’s wallet with an ID window, two internal card compartments, and one external slip compartment. Perfect for your drivers license, some credit cards, a few $20 bills, and a spare key. Some call this the “bikini” of wallets.

SPECIFICATIONS OF THIS WALLET:

Overall size: 4.5″(L) x 0.5″(W) x 3″(H)
3 interior/exterior sleeve pockets
Interior ID window

WHAT I LIKE ABOUT THIS WALLET:

i was tired of having a thick wallet that made my butt hurt when I was driving. I would always have to take my wallet out of my rear pocket and set it on the seat or put it in the glovebox. This Maxpedition Micro Wallet is an excellent choice for that reason, you can wear it in your hip pocket or put it in your front pocket and you never feel it there. It does not hold a lot of items so your wallet is much slimmer. I used to use my wallet like a filing cabinet, keeping everything I could in my wallet, thus way too thick. This wallet has changed all that for me, it works great and I hardly know it is in my pocket.

WHAT COULD BE CHANGED ABOUT THIS WALLET:

i do not have much that I would change about this wallet, except maybe the color choices. Your choices are black, Kakai, and green, I would like to see some browns,and camo patterns, to name a few. But this wallet helps you get back to the basics and for that reason maybe we don’t need more colors.

FINAL REMARKS:

So if you are tired of your big, thick,wallet that has way too much stuff in it, this might be the wallet for you. If you begin by streamlining the contents of your present wallet down to your basic needs, you will really appreciate this wallet. It is the same as a traditional wallet just smaller. I have used the term “Minimalist wallet” but actually there are much smaller wallets out there, but I like this one and what it has to offer. Once you use this wallet for a while you hardly know it is there.

WHAT I LIKE ABOUT THIS PACK:

As with many pack reviews, organization is important to me. this shoulder pack has plenty of pockets, pouches and compartments to put your gear. I especially like the fact that there is a water bottle pouch, as I like having water with me at all times. As an EDC bag, I always have some emergency items, just in case I need them, and this pack has plenty of space for them. As a side note, this pack also works excellent as a guy’s diaper bag, it will hold it will hold everything you might need and also have more of a “Manly” appearance. If you carry a concealed firearm, this pack works great for that as well. Just add the Maxpedition universal CCW holster that attaches to any Hook & Loop pocket and you are in business. Some people do not like the large buckle, but for me it is not a problem, it makes it easy to open and close that compartment. This pack even has a padded compartment for your sunglasses on the top of the bag, that is a nice touch.

WHAT COULD BE CHANGED ABOUT THIS PACK:

After using this Versipack for a while, I have found out that I am not a big fan of shoulders packs. That being said, I am not putting this pack down, I am just saying that it is not my favorite design. So does that mean I do not use it anymore or have given it away to someone else. Absolutely not! I have turned it into one of my Bug-out-bags. If an emergency happens, I have this bag loaded up with everything I might need to take with me. Perfect! We all need one or more of those.

FINAL REMARKS:

This Maxpedition Jumbo Versipack can work really good for those of you that like a should style pack. It has multiple storage options and attachment points for much of your gear. Pack it up with all your gear and go off down the road. It’s comfortable for long hikes for this pack or short day to day treks around town. It can carry lots of stuff and still has room for more, have fun and enjoy.

WHAT I LIKE ABOUT THIS BACKPACK:

This backpack has many storage compartments that is good for Everyday Carry enthusiast. No matter what you want to carry, there is a place for it in this pack. Plus it is nice to have a place to carry a bottle of water or soda or a stainless steel coffee cup or any other fluid container. Since I do carry a concealed firearm, I like the fact that there is a hidden compartment for my handgun. It is safe, hidden but ready to access if needed, all you need is Maxpedition’s universal CCW holster. My favorite thing about this backpack is the way it rotates to your chest in a easy, fluid motion, making all the contents of the pack ready and waiting for you. It is handy and convenient for anyone that uses this backpack.

WHAT I WOULD CHANGE ABOUT THIS BACKPACK:

I enjoy this backpack so much therefore I do not have very much to change on the design. If I was to use this pack for long hikes I would like a little more padding on the shoulder straps, I used it on a couple long hikes and my shoulders got a little fatigued. But with that being said, I like this pack for EDC so the duration of time that I am carrying it is not that long. The main compartment where I carry my laptop could have a little more padding too, it would give it more protection if needed.

FINAL REMARKS:

As you can tell by my comments, I really like this backpack. If you want an EDC Backpack that will carry just about everything you need, this pack is for you. Plenty of ways to organize the items you need and it is presented in a very logical manner. There are some great color options to fit whatever your needs are.
