New Guns & Gear for 2021—EL Range with Tracking Assistant from Swarovski Optik

From Swarovski Optik

Swarovski Optik North America, a subsidiary of the Austrian based company is pleased to announce the new EL Range with Tracking Assistant binocular. These redesigned range finding binoculars allow you to transfer your own ballistics data to make an accurate assessment of every hunting situation. The new innovative tracking assistant helps narrow down the area where your last shot hit the target.

The new EL Range with Tracking Assistant features SWAROVISION technology. Now with perfect edge to edge sharpness, and combined with color fidelity and outstanding detail resolution.

Using the built-in Bluetooth interface, three different ballistics curves can be fed in the EL Range with Tracking Assistant. While all the other settings can also be adjusted on the binocular itself, configuring the ballistics has to be done via the EL Range with Tracking Assistant Configurator App. The range measurement of the EL Range with Tracking Assistant is based on a travel time measurement using a laser. The range can be measured between 10.9 yards (10 meters) and 2200 yards (2000 meters).

Once the ballistic data is entered into the app, you can choose to have the EL Range with Tracking Assistant send back data letting the user know elevation corrections in the rifle scope in MOA, MRAD or clicks. Angle, Temperature and Air Pressure are automatically measured by the EL Range with Tracking Assistant in calculating the corrections.

The featured Tracking Assistant helps the hunter identify the target area by measuring back to the point where the last shot was fired. This can be done in two ways: via the EL Range with Tracking Assistant and via the app.

The FRR Forehead Rest Range is available as an accessory and provides a stable three-point support to ensure maximum stability and comfort when observing for extended periods. The forehead rest can be adjusted so that your gaze is lined up perfectly. It is mounted on the focusing wheel in place of the battery cover, whose function it replaces.

This newly designed range finding binocular is a hunters dream come true. An amazing optical system paired with state of the art ballistic range finding technology will insure success in the field.

New Guns & Gear for 2021—CRKT Bona Fide

From CRKT

World-renowned designer Ken Onion made Hawaii home many years ago. So, to pay tribute to his deep love of the island’s rich culture and verdant landscape, he designed the Bona Fide™ everyday carry folding knife to suggest the shape of a traditional Hawaiian waʻa, or canoe. And with Field Strip Gen II, it’s just as powerful as it looks.

The Bona Fide™ folding knife is a substantial everyday carry measuring at just over 8” from the tip of the strong D2 blade to the end of the lightweight textured aluminum handle. The dropped tip of the blade has both the benefits of modified wharncliffe and modified drop point and deploys smoothly with the IKBS™ ball bearing pivot system. Field Strip Gen II lets you quickly disassemble it without tools on the spot to purge it of grease and grime.

Slide the lever up to disassemble, easily releasing the knife into three components. Place the blade between the two handles in the closed position and slide the lever down to reassemble.

MSRP: $100

New Guns & Gear for 2021—CRKT Biwa

From CRKT

A featherweight build for whatever ends up on the camp menu. When even just the slightest extra weight matters, the Biwa™ /bee-wah/ lightweight hunting and fishing fixed blade knife is choice.

At only 1.6 ounces, it tucks away as inconspicuously as a few extra dry flies but comes out swinging when a high-alpine trout hits your line. Designer Alan Folts of Melbourne, Florida created the custom knife that was to become the Biwa™ after weathering pressure from his minimalist hunting friends to create a do-it-all hunting knife that weighs as little as possible.

Named after a species of Japanese trout, the Biwa™ hits the mark. The long distal taper on the satin-finished blade is a powerhouse for paring, capping, and more. When met with the checkering on the G10 handle, it’s crafted so that you’ll know just where the blade is even if the whole knife sinks out of sight. A strong, injection-molded sheath lashes easily to a pack or quickly becomes a neck knife.

New Guns & Gear for 2021—CRKT Berserker

From CRKT

A battle cry in axe form. Get a glance of the Berserker™ /bur-zur-kr/ Viking-style axe and you know trouble’s coming; if you’re an unsplit round, that is.

The long cutting edge of the bearded axe blade is a powerful companion for big-swing jobs, fine slicing, and everything in between. For designer Ryan Johnson of RMJ Tactical, the well of creative inspiration is bottomless.

The proof is in this powerfully distinct Viking-style axe that still features distinct Ryan Johnson design touches. The utilitarian bearded edge is built for taking a big bite out of a sapling, but choke up on the Tennessee hickory handle and the carbon steel blade readily slices a thick tomato for your cast iron creation. A traditional Viking axe makes for an anything-but-typical camping companion.

New Guns & Gear for 2021—Spyderco Lil’ Native SLIPIT

From Spyderco

Spyderco’s remarkable SLIPIT family of knives combines the advantages of clip carry and easy one-handed opening with the broad legal acceptance of the non-locking folder. One of the newest members of this unique breed is the Lil’ Native SLIPIT, which replaces the Compression Lock® and back lock of the original model with Spyderco’s “notched-joint” mechanism.

An enhanced version of a traditional slipjoint, this mechanism uses spring pressure to hold the knife’s full-flat-ground CPM S30V blade open, but does not lock it. Peel-ply-textured G-10 scales ensure a non-slip grip and a broadbased four-position clip offers ambidextrous tip-up or tip-down carry.

MSRP: $180
