Tell her you love her with a gift that will not only equip her to survive the trials and tribulations of everyday life, but which also gives a gift of hope to all those who are impacted by the scourge of breast cancer. Doug Ritter's PINK Ribbon Valentines Day Special includes the new PINK Mini-RSK Mk1™ and the new PINK Doug Ritter Special Edition Photon Freedom™. These PINK versions of Doug's highly regarded tools will remind her of your thoughtfulness every time she uses them.

For every PINK Mini-RSK Mk1™ and PINK Doug Ritter Special Edition Photon Freedom™ combo package sold, Doug Ritter and Aeromedix contribute 10% of the purchase price to the Bobbi Olson Cancer Fund supporting the Arizona Cancer Center's Division of Women's Cancers.



These are available only as a pair and exclusively from Aeromedix.com. Price is $126.95. Only a very limited number of these Doug Ritter PINK Ribbon Valentines Day Special packages are available in time for Valentines Day.

Full information and order links at:

http://www.equipped.org/valentinesday.htm

A portion of the proceeds from the sale of all Doug Ritter gear goes to support the non-profit Equipped To Survive Foundation and this web site.

Cool deal.

I always thought pink was a good color. But not for gear.

Little known fact: Pink used to be associated with male babies and powder blue for girls. The thinking was that pink was dilute red. Red was thought to be symbolic of blood and so masculine.

Come to think of it some pink kit might be useful. If my loaner gear was bright pink they might tend to give it back more promptly. That would be both a good thing ... and something of a a novelty.

I used to carry a pink lighter just so I would always get it back!

Very fine looking blade and light, and an even better cause to support. I'm curious, are the limited-run pink Photon and yellow Ritter model getting the new DS LEDs eventually? I started carrying a Freedom because of the ETS endorsement, been wanting ones in yellow for my kits and find the new DS LEDs to be a huge improvement. As for the knife, I'll keep it in mind for a gift for the occasion, but personally have my eye on the fixed blade version with orange scales kit.

This latest run is supposed to have the DS LED, though there seems to be some confusion on that. Seem brighter to me. The Pinks are brand new, assembled this week, and for sure come with the DS LED.

True, but we do what we can, when we can, with little control of the when. By the same token, Breast Cancer isn't going away just because it isn't Breast Cancer Awareness Month, the need is still there. I'll take what I can get, when I can get it. not much other choice.

My grandfather painted every single tool in his garage and wood shop the same horrible shade of puke yellow, figuring that A) no one would steal a puke colored tool and B) he'd be able to spot it if they did.

I bought a pink mini-griptilian for the same reason. Plus, it's a lot friendlier looking around the office, the pink color keeps me self-conscious enough not to take it out and play with it, and if someone gives you crap for your pink knife: flick, *snap*, you're the one holding the razor sharp knife.

No down side. I might be buying this one! smile

Placed my order for the set last night. Who would have thought putting a pink handle on this knife would be the deciding factor for me finally getting this knife.

Now if only the larger version came with the yellow grip.

Ordering a couple Ritter Photons, thanks for the information! And thanks for the site and foundation in general, really got me started on the right foot with my kits, training, and mindset.
