Ah, the classic EOTECH 512. It is perhaps especially fitting that we have one in for testing, since it was such a star during America’s longest war. EOTECH was an instant hit with the US Military and came to the attention of many of us when the GWOT started in 2001.

Spyderco ROC
BY Clay Martin Updated: April 2, 2023When it comes to guns and knives, I am generally the practical guy. I write about P320’s and FNH 509s and concealable blades that punch above their weight.

Despite feeling like nothing, as well as being very thin, you can’t tear it.
