Thanks to the Strobe's KVT ball-bearing opening system, the blade opens smoothly and easily; just pull back on the flipper. A washer with caged ball bearings surrounds the pivot joint and the bearings rotate as the blade moves out of the handle to ensure quick, one-handed opening. A frame lock provides secure lockup.

The blade is heat treated to Kershaw's demanding specifications to bring out the best qualities in the steel, then stonewashed. The slim handle is characteristic of a Diskin knife and fits the hand securely. K-Texture™ handle overlays in glass-filled nylon provide additional grip. The pocketclip is reversible for left/right-handed carry. It's a deep-carry pocketclip so that it rides comfortably and discreetly down in the pocket.

1st Look - Cold Steel 1911 Training Pistol

The new 2014 Cold Steel Colt 1911 Replica rubber training pistol just came in and I had a chance to compare it to my 1980's vintage Colt Gold Cup.

The size is exactly the same except the Cold Steel 1911 training gun has rails so you can train with a tactical flashlight mounted.

The new Cold Steel training pistol is made out of Zombie green (or what I like to call "Kawasaki Green" since Kawasaki was the originator of my favorite color of lime green) Polypropylene, and ultra-durable thermoplastic rubber.

The Colt 1911 trainer is stiff enough for practicing drawing from a holster or disarming techniques, yet still soft and safe enough to be used in hand-to-hand striking situations.

It is also available in a "Cocked" version for those of us who like to carry cocked and locked.
