SOG Specialty Knives isn’t the only maker of a hybrid flashlight and knife.
The new LK375 Light Knife was recently announced by COAST Products and can be seen at the National Hardware Show between May 5 and May 7, according to a press release at Ammoland.
COAST is known for making an array of relatively inexpensive tactical folders as well as flashlights. In their latest product, they combine the two tools into one.
If there’s one thing the folks over at United Cutlery know, it’s how to make some damn good throwing knives. This knowledge is perfectly demonstrated in the latest Badass Knife of the Week: the United Cutlery Triple Thrower Set.
These are the knives that knife throwers dream about.
The car is normally our companion, transporting us from point A to point B without asking much in return. The car and its driver work together to navigate the road and react to unexpected situations.
But when things go wrong, the car can quickly become our enemy, a two-ton hunk of metal that aims to crush us and snare us as flammable liquid surrounds us.
That frightening and life-threatening situation was what a woman found herself in after her car overturned on a winding road in New Jersey.
We’ve brought you tons of examples of how knives save lives on this blog, but this is the first time you get to see some footage of the dire situation.
Take a look at the news report.
In this situation, the woman inevitably failed the car because she was driving while intoxicated. She crashed her car and fell unconscious inside the smoldering vehicle.
If there’s a type of knife that’s more American than the Bowie knife, we’ve yet to find it.
Legend has it that frontiersman James Bowie used his unique knife, which was described as a cross between a butcher knife and a hunting knife, to neutralize his enemies in duels and fights, including the infamous Sandbar Fight in Mississippi.
Since the 1800s, the iconic knife, commonly characterized by its large clip-point blade and crossguard, has become a functional icon that still kicks ass. That’s why the Winchester Bowie is this week’s Badass Knife.
Yes, we’re already in April, but the sheer amount of new knives this year means we’re still showcasing them on the blog. The good news is that most of these knives are now on the market, so you don’t have to wait.
This week, we’re looking at the array of new products from SOG Specialty Knives.
SOG Fillet
First up are two new fillet knives: a 6-inch fillet and a 7.5-inch fillet. The steel is 5Cr15MoV. They come with hard-molded nylon sheaths.
SOG Fillet – 6″
SOG Fillet – 7.5″
SOG Zoom
The Zoom series is a new family of knives that are designed to be lightweight folders with assisted opening. They have AUS-8 steel and anodized aluminum handles. The regular version has a blade length of 3.6 inches while the Zoom Mini has a blade length of 3.15 inches.
Some of the versions have Tanto points and/or black TiNi coating on the blade. Here’s a look at each iteration.

SOG Toothlock
Another new family is the Toothpick family. As of right now, the two iterations feature either a satin finish or black TiNi finish on the partially serrated blade. The blade length is 3.1 inches and the steel is made from quality San Mai VG-10 steel. It uses a new locking mechanism from SOG.

SOG Instinct
Next is the SOG Instinct. The most basic version is a compact fixed blade without any handle scales. The overall length is 5.9 inches, and the whole knife has a satin finish. Since it’s meant to offer multiple carry options, there’s a smaller version and two with G10 handles.
Since 1891, the Victorinox Soldier has been the official knife of the Swiss Army. The Soldier has gone through a number of iterations, but the latest version is by far the most badass multitool ever.
The newest Victorinox Soldier is a culmination of all the suggestions over the past 100 years, making it a knife that’s fit for all types of action.
Tired of zombie-centric products and media? Neither are we.
The latest knife to get a makeover for the zombie apocalypse is the Commander from Emerson Knives.
To be clear, the original Commander is a truly badass knife. Winner of the Best Overall Knife of the Year at the blade show, the knife is battle-tested and designed with performance in mind. The Zombie Commander is essentially the same, except for a few minor changes.
The Zombie Commander comes in two versions: Zombie Green and Midnight Zombie.
Here’s what the Zombie Green version looks like.
And here’s the black on black Midnight Zombie.
Both knives are available for a limited run and will feature the Zombie Eradication Team stamp on the blade. Just like the original Commander, the knife boasts Emerson’s patented wave opener on the 3.75-inch blade made from 154CM stainless steel.
Think all reliable tactical folding knives cost an arm and a leg? Our latest Badass Knife of the Week is proof otherwise.
The Smith & Wesson Extreme Ops Black Pocket Knife is the ultimate tactical folding knife for any budget.
With its reliable locking mechanism, the pocket knife can sustain a tremendous amount of pressure in any extreme situation you find yourself in.
When a knife is considered one of the strongest tactical folders ever to exist, you know it’s going to be honored as a Badass Knife of the Week eventually. For the Al Mar SERE 2000, that time has come.
The original SERE knife was designed by legendary knifemaker Al Mar and Colonel Nick Rowe in the early 1980s for the U.S. Army’s SERE school. The SERE 2000 features an updated design that’s stronger, lighter, and more precise.
With a 3.6-inch blade made of VG-10 stainless steel, the SERE 2000 is a sturdy folder optimized for intense and unpredictable circumstances.
