THAW hand warmers - THAW set out to solve two problems disposable chemical hand warmers have: the inability to limit and restart the reaction to conserve the heat, and the waste created by the hand warmers after being used. THAW has produced two rechargeable hand warmers, one large, one small, using USB-C charging devices that double as power banks for any other electronics. The hand warmers are warm to the core by offering double-sided heating. Both hand warmers come standard with memory recall to return to heating just as it was left with three different power settings. The small hand warmer can heat up to 10 hours on low at 114 degrees F, while the large hand warmer can heat up to 17 hours on low at the same temperature.

Warthog sharpeners - Warthog Sharpeners’ flagship product, the Classic II sharpener, just got an upgrade. The V-Sharp CLASSIC II ELITE offers an added flair that makes it stand out in home kitchens, at hunting camp, trapping sheds, anywhere. The V-Sharp CLASSIC II ELITE is equipped with three adjustable quick snap angles (20°, 25° and 30°). It features two 325-grit double-sided diamond rods and finishing steels that simultaneously sharpen both sides of the blade. The sharpener weighs a little more than a pound and has a hand-crafted metal frame and powder-coated finish. The base is solid wood, with four rubber pads to keep the unit stable and protect the surface beneath. The wooden base adds to the overall presentation while keeping everything steady and solid. The V-Sharp CLASSIC II ELITE (MRSP $99.99), works by drawing the blade back in a slicing motion entirely through and out of the sharpener, keeping the blade flat against the blade guide. This keeps a consistent angle from the heel to the tip of the blade. After sharpening to a keen edge, turn the hones over with the steel facing up, and increase the angle by one notch (5°) to finish the blade to a razor edge. www.warthogusa.com

Al’s Ice Jigs - Al’s Ice Jigs are a must for serious anglers. The Goldfish ice jig is based on the original Al’s Goldfish lure – a wobbling spoon developed in 1952, a staple of serious ice anglers for more than seven decades. The ice jig is the original 3/16 ounce, 1 1/2-inch long lure body turned upside down with a single J hook off the nose. Jig it as is, add the optional red tab, or pair it with a creepy-crawly and use the lure body as a flasher. Al’s Lil’ 49er ice jig is a 1/4 ounce, 1 3/4-inch brass spoon with a distinct shape and action. Anglers watching the lure’s jigging action with sonar will see the lure zigzag erratically in and out of the transducer beam as the lure is pulled up, and observe a pronounced flutter on the drop - deadly vertical jig offering. Al’s Helgy is a flutter spoon shaped like a Hellgrammite, the aquatic larvae of the Dobsonfly. Its erratic flutter action paired with glow-in-the-dark paint will catch the attention of trout, salmon, bass, walleye and panfish. It weighs 1/4 ounce, measures 1 1/2 inches long, and is rigged with a treble hook. All of the Al’s lure products are made in the USA. www.alsgoldfish.com
