The favourite glove of the tactical and airsoft communities is from Mechanix Wear. How did this brand known for automotive and DIY use became the tactical standard? Knife Story tells the story (no pun intended)... "From SWAT to Special Forces, tactical gloves are a mandatory piece of gear. Yet, so many elite squads choose to use gloves borrowed from the automotive industry. How did Mechanix gloves become the standard for military and law enforcement around the globe?"

Knife Story talks why the M9 bayonet was a combat failure in this video... "Renowned in video games: hated on the battlefield. The M9 bayonet is preceded by its reputation from decades of service in militaries around the world. The design was made by Mickey Finn of Qual-A-Tec: originally called the Phrobis III, it takes inspiration from the likes of the Rambo knives, Buckmaster 184, and Soviet AKM Bayonet. What makes the M9 bayonet such an iconic knife- and such a letdown at the same time?"
