Smith & Wesson ExtremeOps CK5TBS Knife Review
Posted by: | Comments
The Smith & Wesson ExtremeOps CK5TBS knife is an inexpensive knife designed to clip to your pocket and open one handed. Priced at less than $11 (street price), the ExtremeOps fits the budget of almost anyone needing a good quality knife for general use. But does the S&W ExtremeOps deliver the quality necessary to make this a good value? I believe it does.
As stated above, the ExtremeOps is a folding knife with a pocket carry clip that is designed to be opened with only one hand. My knife had a 3 1/4″ blade featuring a sharp Tanto-style tip, with serrations on the last 1 1/4″. The black finish on the blade has a very rich color that I found to be pleasing. The blade on my ExtremeOps knife was very sharp.

Brownells introduced the Foreign Weapons Field Kit, a tool kit designed to service Soviet-bloc firearms in the field. This tool kit may be of great interest to Special Forces and other allied troops who work closely with the indigenous peoples of Afghanistan and Iraq, as well as the thousands of military surplus firearms collectors here in the United States.
The kit contains tools for servicing a variety of Soviet-type foreign weapons, including the AK-47/AKM assault rifle, PK/PKM/PKMS 7.62mm machine gun, Dragunov SVD sniper rifle, DShK/DShKM 12.7mm machine gun, and RPG-7 grenade launcher.
The foreign weapons field kit lets you field-strip these weapons quickly for cleaning, maintenance, adjustment, and repair without the confusion and down time spent scrounging for the proper tools.
