The TIHK – Tiny Inconspicuous Handcuff Key

Thursday, August 15th, 2013

tihk_gallery_4_1800x1200

The TIHK, or Tiny Inconspicuous Handcuff Key, is exactly what the name implies, a small handcuff key designed to be hidden on one’s person. The TIHK features an attachment clip, minimal form factor, and a non-reflective matte coating to insure it remains undetected when detained. The key is designed to fit all standard “peerless” single and double-lock handcuffs. While concealable handcuff keys/unlock tools are nothing new, unlike other examples, this particular product is currently up for crowdfunding to fund the manufacturing process.

Strike Industries has just come out with two new t-shirt designs: Kryptic Cobra and Gunslinger. The Kryptic Cobra features the classic S.I. logo and a snake design on the right hand side. The Gunslinger features a design mimicking a slung AR-15. The AR-15 design functions as a sneak-peak of sorts as it features products to be released by S.I. in the near future. Both shirts feature the 2nd Amendment on the back in addition to S.I.’s venom patch logo. They are made from 100% combed ring spun cotton and are available in three colors: Aqua, Brown, and Charcoal.

Star Trek Into Darkness Starfleet Phaser Limited Edition Gift Set

Tuesday, July 30th, 2013

81z4dC0gJYL._SL1500_

Star Trek Into Darkness is coming out for home release soon, and Amazon is offering an exclusive blu-ray set that comes with a replica starfleet phaser. Made using the same molds Quantum Mechanix used when creating the prop phasers for the movie, the replica phaser is made from solid polystone core enrobed in metal plating with several finishes — brushed aluminum, gun metal, and chrome. The replica is spring-loaded with an active locking mechanism that allows the phaser to be switched from stun to kill. Too bad they aren’t selling the replica separate.

Go Ape Treetop Adventure Course

Monday, July 29th, 2013

Go Ape Treetop Adventure Courses are a chain of treetop obstacle courses where you’re secured to lines using a harness and pulley system, with a zip line at the end of every course. Running through the entire thing generally takes between 2-3 hours and there are splits in many of the courses with different obstacles for different skill levels. There’s also a junior course for the little guys. I went to the Freedom Park location in Williamsburg on Saturday and had a great time with the family. Plus, Go Ape contributes a portion of their proceeds and stewardship services to the parks they’re located in.

The Bounty Hunter Code: From The Files Of Boba Fett

Sunday, July 28th, 2013

Seems to be missing a chapter on how not to fall into a Sarlacc pit

The Bounty Hunter Code: From The Files of Boba Fett is an in-universe manual that describes the aspects of being a bounty hunter in the Star Wars universe. Included with the deluxe edition is the 48-page memoirs of Cradossk, former head of the Bounty Hunters Guild, a Kamino saberdart, Boba’s own captain’s license and arms permit, Slave I’s official operating license, a Han Solo Imperial wanted poster, and an inventory slip from the Rebel Alliance forces who discovered and seized the property. As a neat feature, the case is interactive and requires button presses and the insertion of a data card to access the book within.

You can pre-order from Amazon.com here.
