Today we’re excited to announce a few new products to the ITS Shop that are sure to enhance your cloak and dagger collection. The ITS Lapel Dagger is a highly-versatile Cold War classic with a modern twist. Whether you sew it into a jacket lapel or add to your survival kit, we’re sure you’ll find the perfect place to keep one handy.
Also added to the store is a new weatherproof pocket notebook that’s ready to handle your outdoor adventures. The top spiral feature on the 3″ x 5″ Rite in the Rain Waterproof Notebook makes taking notes easy without having to hold your place like a standard bound book design. We’ve also brought back an old favorite, the ITS Single Point Koozie is now available in a new black colorway. Whether you sling your brew like a rifle, add it to your belt, or even remove the buckles and simply handhold it, this koozie is ready to party.
ITS Lapel Dagger
The ITS Lapel Dagger is modeled after the OSS (Office of Strategic Services) lapel or thumb dagger, with a few modern upgrades. The original cloak & dagger tools were clandestinely carried for a few different reasons. From being used by spies to break contact during a search, to having a surreptitiously accessible weapon in an emergency.
Available in either cast stainless-steel with one sharpened edge and laser engraved ITS logo on the back side, or glass-filled nylon (non-magnetic high-strength plastic) with no markings. These ITS Lapel Daggers are chisel ground (flat on one side) and feature a 2.5” blade and an overall length of 3.75”. Each includes a glass-filled nylon slip sheath with positive retention through a raised detent that interfaces with a groove in the sheath.
Sheaths also feature 14 holes to enable sewing it onto the lapel of a jacket or other locations, just like the original OSS lapel daggers. There’s also a dummy cord loop on the sheath to anchor it during quick removal of the blade. Total overall length with the sheath is 4.25”.
For added grip retention, the metal version features a skeletonized handle, which also enables wrapping it with cordage, like our ITS Dummy Cord (as shown in photo). It can also be lashed to a stick to create a spear for survival situations and fits perfectly in our ITS Multi-Purpose Survival Container. There’s also a lanyard loop for tying your own finger lanyard. The glass-filled nylon version features a diamond texture for grip retention and a lanyard loop as well.

ITS Tactical Single Point Koozie
The ITS Single Point Koozie draws its inspiration from the coolest piece of kit from a past ITS Hog Hunt. Each koozie features an adjustable 1″ webbing strap that enables hands-free stowage of your favorite beverage. It can even be removed with the included ITW QASM buckles for easy belt mounting. The interior is lined for better insulation and features a drainage grommet, while the exterior features a large loop area to affix your favorite morale patches or identifiers.
