Landi Knives Kinzua Review John Landi is a man with a plan.  Do you know how many "sportsmen" are in the US?  He does.  Do you know what the average is they spend on knives?  He does.  Do you know how many custom knives they own and how much they spend on those type of knives?  He does.  The man has done his research!  John isn't one to jump in with no business plan, he wants to succeed and be successful.  And, he is quite on his way.  
Gerber Reveal Folding Loppers Review Although not typically associated with outdoors gear, a good pair of loppers can really come in handy from time to time for the Woods Monkey.  They’ll help clear a campsite, cut shooting lanes, open a spot to fish by a lake, and get offending underbrush out of the way.  Though a drawback of most loppers is the size, Gerber Blades has produced an ingenious solution.  Gerber’s Reveal is a compact and efficient lopper designed for the outdoors crowd.

2010 SHOT Show Day 4 Photos

SHOT Show - SHOT Show 2010

2010-SHOT-177aWell, it's been an interesting last few days.  On the way out of the SHOT Show in Vegas we got ambushed by snow, floods, hail, sleet, tonadoes, and I even think I saw a few locusts on the way.  We've been on the road night and day trying to get back home and that hasn't given us a lot of time to post information from the last day of SHOT.  I'm sitting in the truck right now typing this out because I won't be home until late this evening.  I edited some more pictures from SHOT while on the road just so you can see a few more things that caught our eye during the last day.  We will be posting more information from SHOT during the next week as we sort through everything and get all the information loaded.  We had a good time at the show, though it did have some issues because of the new convention center they used.  We made a lot more contacts and have already set up arrangements to get more products for review.  Some of them are very sexy--if you're a Woods Monkey that is.  I think it's going to be a great year for new gear!  Some of the first items we'll be reviewing are some new knives from Spyderco, a new LED light from 4Sevens.com, and some other stuff we're going to keep secret for a little bit.  Also, we will be posting some additional pictures tomorrow from our Associate Editor Tim Stetzer.  He has some eclectic tastes, so you may see something a little differnt or out of the ordinary that might strike your fancy.  But, stay tuned, we think you'll like what's coming in the next few weeks.  In the meantime, sit back and enjoy some pictures from the last day of SHOT.

SHOT Show - SHOT Show 2010

2010-SHOT-152aWell, it's sad to say, but the SHOT Show is starting to wind down a bit.  The up side of that fact is that there's less traffic and we've had more time to spend at each booth establishing contacts for articles down the road and getting more product information.  The down side is that since we were spending more time at each place, we didn't get as many photos today, but we think it will pay off in the end as we have more great articles to bring you this year because of our communication with these companies.  Today, we stopped and looked at products from Marlin, Remington, CZ, Kahr, Bushnell, Mud River Dog Products, Uncle Mike's, KA-BAR (the upstairs booth this time), Industrial Revolution/Light My Fire, Victorinox, Maxpedition, and others.  But, we're not done yet!  We've still got more gound to cover tomorrow before we leave Sin City and battle the deluge of snow in front of us on I-40.  So, we'll post up more stuff tomorrow and the next few days to wrap up some of the information that we obtained.  But, in the meantime, just go to the next page to see some more great products hitting the streets this year--some of which we'll have in our hands very soon to review!
