Laughing Coyote Knives are first and foremost working knives.

Laughing Coyote Knives are custom personal tools; you will come to appreciate using a quality, handmade knife. Laughing Coyote Knives primarily offer one-of-a-kind products, some of which have been re-purposed from blades or steel cast-off by other users. We like to take old folders, saw blades, hunters and kitchen knives that may have nicked edges, warped handles or other damage, and turn that discarded steel back into handsome, practical cutting instruments. Custom designs are our specialty; we can work with you on creating your personal carry knife with choice of blade, handles and finishes. All heat-treating, tempering, etching and stonewashing is done in house, and all handles are hand finished and rubbed.

Adiga Armory is a veteran-founded, privately held partnership and subsidiary of Adiga LLC. Adiga Armory was formed for the purpose of bringing affordable, professional-grade firearms training and accessories to law-abiding patrons. We believe that high-quality training and accessories should not be a privilege afforded only by those with professional sponsorship's. In 2014 we formally launched Adiga Armory™ and expanded into firearms training with CCW/CFP and other live fire defensive handgun, rifle and shotgun courses in Northern Utah and Northern Colorado. Our small organization trained and certified over 1,200 students between 2014-2019. Our passion for teaching and interacting with students is undying, but in 2019 we decided to end our training activities and focus our efforts on firearms products and digital outreach. We did this by launching a revolutionary new product that had been in development for over 5-years. Adiga Armory™ Citrus-Powered Synthetic CLP [Cleaner Lubricant Protectant] was first conceptualized in late 2013. A multitude of formulations were produced, tested, refined, and re-tested many times over the course of the following 5-years... using some of our gracious students and their weaponry as voluntary "guinea pigs" along the way. We tested every imaginable material and surface finish, and we dumped tens of thousands of rounds downrange to push our product to it's limits and beyond. The result of this arduous effort is the highest-qualit

Battleship Beanery Micro-Roast was spawned by our own retired U.S. Navy Chief Petty Officer in a sincere desire to find and roast the very best coffee beans to create the very best "cup a Joe" possible. Also, an avid coffee drinker, Chief brings 21 years of deck plate leadership to every single roast. Taking green coffee beans and roasting them to perfection is a dedication and a passion. Most coffee today is roasted and canned or bagged in bulk by the big guys. Although some of the big guys can make a decent cup of coffee, by the time it goes from the roaster to the distributor, to the big chain stores or coffee houses, and then finally to your home cup it is stale and no longer at its peak freshness. Fresh coffee are beans that are roasted and then ground and brewed to the cup within three weeks of roasting. The big guys just cannot get it to the cup that fast.

Dallas Conex began its journey into the mobile storage industry as a commercial transport vendor; a service that we still provide. We started delivering for other companies who either rented or sold. It was there that we first noticed the need for more transparency and better customer service regarding the purchase of containers. Too many times we would encounter a customer that was not happy with the product that we were contracted to deliver. When we asked about their experience, the customers usually told us the same story: that they wanted a container but did not know where to purchase one. So they were left to browse the internet and different classified ads. When answering these ads, they often encountered commissioned sales agents working for out of state container brokers. These sales contractors are trained to say anything they think the customer wants to hear; just to make the sale. Once the container was delivered; often times the customer was disappointed with what actually showed up. Or they were very frustrated at how long it took for the container to actually arrive, once payment was made. It was after too many of these experiences that Dallas Conex decided to give people a better choice when it came to the purchase of containers! That is when we began to not only just transport containers; but to offer them for sale as well. It was an easy transition since Dallas Conex already had relationships with all of the intermodal storage yards in the DFW and Hous Comments on the Military and Business Ownership Military experience teaches organization, resourcefulness, persistence and the ability to take smart risks—skills that also distinguish me as a smart business owner.
