NOTES
The Wedge is a compact, high-performance EDC light designed for convenient pocket carry. It’s outfitted with an intuitive rotating thumb switch that provides tactile control over the dual modes. Made of rugged anodized aluminum with a waterproof USB-C port, the Wedge balances durability with performance. It features two lighting modes: constant-on and THRO (Temporarily Heightened Regulated Output; a momentary “turbo” function) for maximum brightness. Constant mode provides 300 lumens and a 69-meter beam that runs three hours when fully charged. THRO will provide 1,000 lumens and a 110m beam that lasts as a 35-second burst. Its thin, ergonomic design fits comfortably in hand and slips easily into a pocket. The deep-carry pocket clip attaches on either side of this light. Rugged anodized aluminum construction and a polycarbonate lens protect the light from impacts and abrasions, and it’s waterproof to one meter.

NOTES
The MCK-02, or Medium Clearance Knife, from Halfbreed Blades is a mid-size utility fixed blade knife, offering an exceptional balance between weight, strength, and cutting power. Austrian 6.5mm Böhler K110 (D2) tool steel lends the blade a weight and durability that can be felt when wielded. The hard-wearing, low-friction Teflon coating mitigates glare and protects against corrosion. Its U.S.-made G10 handle scales are ergonomically contoured for maximum grip and control with non-gloved hands. The crusher pommel is ideally suited for breaking glass and other hammering tasks, and a pommel lanyard hole allows for paracord attachment. Each sheath is precision molded for secure retention and easy maintenance. All MCK-02 sheaths are supplied with a belt carry system as the primary attachment method, and eyelet holes around the sheath’s perimeter serve as a secondary attachment option.

Giant Mouse ACE Biblio Folding Knife

giantmouse.com

NOTES
Giant Mouse, renowned for making quality folding knives, recently added the Biblio Brass to their ACE line. The blade steel is satin-finished Böhler M390 MICROCLEAN stainless steel, and as the name implies, its handle is solid brass. A ball-bearing pivot lends to a smooth opening with the slightest twitch of a finger and flick of the wrist. Its reverse wire clip and 4-inch handle size fits in most pockets, and the 3-inch blade length makes it a knife that’s fast and easy to manipulate. Not to mention, the brass looks classy and gives it a little extra heft to power a piercing cut. It’s an heirloom-quality blade that could hold up for generations.

NOTES
There’s something satisfying about items that serve more than one purpose. Saving space and reducing bulk is both smart and comfortable, and Wazoo’s Cache Cap does this in several ways. What looks like a normal cap hides six pockets large enough for many EDC purposes. The main pockets are made with high-visibility orange material and lined with a reflective “X” for signaling or marking a camping site in the dark. There’s also a hook-and-loop enclosure in the band and two pockets built into the brim. A cotton sweatband and evaporative technical material ensures the wearer will be keeping their cool when things heat up. An anti-glare black underbill keeps the threats of solar injuries to a minimum. Not sure what to store in those pockets? Wazoo has plenty of options on their website for inspiration.

NOTES
Traveling with firearms in any region or condition other than perfectly dry introduces a few complications. It doesn’t take long for moisture to corrode metal, and that destructive process happens even quicker when the firearm is trapped in a case. The BONE-DRI Handgun 2.0 Case is designed to keep handguns and ammo in optimal working order. Humidity and moisture can affect the performance of a gun, cause rust, and make cleaning difficult. Unlike other gun case brands, BONE-DRI cases are engineered with Absorbits moisture-removal material to store and protect your firearms from rust after exposure to moisture. Constructed with heavy-duty industrial 800D PVC nylon and lockable Mil-spec zipper sliders, this case easily withstands heavy wear and tear and is guaranteed for life. It’s MOLLE compatible, has a felt patch to host morale patches, and fits two midsize handguns, five magazines, and a toolkit.

A silicone band, USB charging, and a wide variety of options make the Knog Bilby 400 a truly unique headlamp. The Bilby produces an output of 400 lumens, offers a five-hour runtime on full power, and over 105 hours on the lowest setting. It’s lightweight, dustproof, waterproof to one meter, and intuitively designed from medical-grade silicone. The five LEDs on the Bilby are optimally placed for their individual purposes — a high beam for long-range visibility, two elliptical beams for midrange and wide beam angles, a red light for night light purposes, and downlights for reading. Within each mode are four brightness settings. On the brightest setting, the Bilby has a range of up to 100 meters. Another interesting feature of the Bilby is its ability to be customized via Knog’s own Modemaker app. This app allows users to increase Bilby’s modes from six up to eight, and choose which order they’re operated, allowing users to create a headlamp customized to their specific needs.
