Hogue Knives has added the Trauma to its line of precision-cutting instruments. Sporting a .125-inch thick, 3.4-inch long Bohler N680 steel blade, which comes in either a sheepsfoot or opposing-bevel design, the Trauma is available both partially serrated and not, with a stone-washed or black Cerakote finish. To securely retain the blade when carried, the Trauma boasts an ABLE locking mechanism, with a tough lock bar and Wolff wireform springs. The knife's lightweight exterior is manufactured from medium-textured peel-ply G10, in either solid black or safety orange, intended to provide a balance between aggressive grip and in-hand comfort. The frame, meanwhile, houses a deployable strap cutter, an oxygen-valve wrench and a carbide glass-breaker. For maximum portability, this knife is finished with a low-profile, tip-up ambidextrous pocket clip, and a MOLLE-compatible knife pouch is included.

Winchester recently announced it has contributed more than $500,000 over the past seven years to the historic Ducks Unlimited (DU) Conservation for a Continent Campaign. The campaign generated an unprecedented $4.06 billion for continental conservation and stands as the most ambitious conservation campaign ever undertaken on behalf of North America’s wetlands and waterfowl.
National Hunting and Fishing Day, which is observed on the fourth Saturday of September each year (September 26 this year), is a day we should know one thing about: Hunters are America’s original conservationists.
