A full size fighting folder built to the durability requirements of full-on, Spec-Ops combat!The StratoFighters feature Dark Op’s proprietary RaptorLokTM , self cleansing doubletalon locking system that uses the entire length of the knife to support the openedblade. Unlike modern unproven and complicated locking systems, the basic prin-ciples of this design have been tested for over fifty years. Dark Ops’ secondaryCrisisCrossTM cross-bolt locking system serves the dual function of preventingthe knife from being closed while open and prevents the untrained user fromdeploying the knife if separated from its owner. The pommel end of theknife offers an integrated emergency window breaker and paracordsafety tethering hole.The scales are made ofT6160 aircraft grade hard-ened aluminum, not porous materials that cannot be decontami-nated from bodily fluids or chemical munitions. Carved into thesides of the scales are lateral control grooves that provide in-dexing points in darkness as well as additional control with-out increasing the width of the handle. Deep finger groovesorient the knife in the hand and add a third more griparea. Quartz impregnated inserts provide extreme cir-

cumstances grip enhancement and are replaceableshould decontamination be required. The Pocketclip is reversible for true ambidextrous tip up

THE FINEST TACTICAL FIGHTINGKNIVES

IN HISTORY!

Don't let the space age curves fool you, this is one of the most ergonomi-cally form fitting "blades of last resort" you will ever handle. Usable inthe smallest and largest hands, and possibly the only neck knife in theworld deployable in the reverse grip. Used properly it can generatethe last earthly sensation a terrorist feels on a quick trip to the here-after. A PanicPortTM through-hole in the tail of the integrated tang al-lows positive sheath removal even with 85% of the knife concealed inthe ankle and forearm modes. A deep index finger notch providessecure grip and astonishing leverage, and multiple deep fingergrooves allow for the secure positioning of the middle, ring andpinky fingers. The Knife is skeletonized for weight reduction, but hassmall enough cutouts to not trap fingers under duress. The Through-hole in the handle allows for a positive finger through control for se-cure grip when hands are cold and prevents the knife from beingtaken away in defensive moves. Built of Dark Ops legendary CTV2Steel, but with a fractionally higher stainless content and treatedwith a Titanium Carbonitride coating, the knife is impervious tobody sweat and humidity associated with on-the-body con-cealed knives. A DEEP! hollow grind yields a razor cuttingedge. A broader flat grind with serrations on the topedge is used for heavy duty occupational cuttingwork. Heavy grip notching covers the en-tire contact circumference for addedgrip tenacity. All user contact surfacesare polished smoothed and heavilybeveled to prevent snags in deployment.Lethal, concealable. May b e illegal incertain jurisdictions. Intended for Mili-tary & Law Enforcement & EMS pro-fessionals only.

Just like a mongoose with fangs up front and fur in the back, theOtis Mongoose® brush/swab features the speedy best of bothworlds! With both copper bristles and a cotton composite cleaningswab, a single pass through your barrel can provide a quick speedclean in less than 5 seconds!

If during a hunt you get some snow/water/dirt or debris inyour barrel, a quick pass with the Mongoose® will have you shoot-ing again in no time. The bristles mechanically dislodge any hard-ened fouling and the swab sweeps it all clean. A drop of Otis 085®

Ultra Bore® Cleaner and you have the benefit of a chemical clean-ing and rust protection. Its a great end-of-day quick cleaner to han-dle condensation that may have built up during the day, or beforethe hunt when your gun goes from your warm trunk to the chillymorning air.

The cotton swab is specially woven to hold shape and won’tdissolve under harsh chemical solvents, leaving dissolved brushresidue in the bore. Otis’ bristle construction has three times the

number of bristles of typical brushes, making each pass throughthe bore equal to three passes with a conventional brush. Custom

short-brush design allows ac-cess for limited breechfirearms and automatics.Tufcor® Proprietary Bindingwire holds the bristles andswab securely and can'tbreak off in the bore, render-ing the weapon unshootable,

as often happens with lesser designs.The Mongoose® is available in .17, .25, .30, .38 and .40

calibers and is sold in packs of 5. Integrates seamlessly with allOtis kits for Breech-to-Muzzle® cleaning. Think of it as a high speed"Dual Action Cleanse" for your gun barrel! 100% Made in America.
