Photo of the day: Emerson Carnivore personal high-end steak knife
The Emerson Carnivore is a purpose-driven design. Its purpose is to slice your steak with ease into perfect bite-sized pieces of meat. Not to tear, crush and destroy a prime Wagyu dinner with a dull, tin knife made in China. And what’s more, is that you certainly can’t ignore the “show off factor.” Just like […]
Emerson Knives N-SAR: The Navy search and rescue knife
When I think of a rescue knife, I think of an overbuilt, purpose-driven tool. By saying “overbuilt”, I don’t mean heavy, thick, or tons of gadgets; I mean a tool that can take a beating time and time again, and come back for more. It has to have a good balance and “feel” in the […]

I went with the CQC-7 for a few reasons; first, it’s a proven blade design that was originally developed with input […]

Ever since I gave up on minimalist camping, having a few conveniences from home while outdoors has been nice. Bottom line, my wife isn’t a minimalist. So in order to get her to accompany me on various adventures, I decided to look into Overland Camping. Basically packing everything into my Tundra and living out of […]
Emerson Super Karambit | The Lethal Edge
The Emerson Super Karambit is one hell of a weapon. This blade design is vastly different from your everyday carry blade. Although you can use the karambit for some utility tasks, it’s not meant to be. It’s true calling is as a defensive edged weapon. Due to the ring on the end of the handle, […]
The Emerson Kershaw CQC-9K | A New Everyday Carry
The Kershaw/Emerson CQC-9K has been my everyday carry knife for a while now. My initial goal was to review not as a weapon, or a survival knife, but as an everyday carry knife. Throughout my CQC-9k review, I was quite pleased with its performance. I like simple things, and the CQC-9K proved to be rugged, reliable […]
