Vertical Roto Shoulder Holster: Old world craftsmanship at its finest

What do John McClane, James Bond, and Mad Max all have in common? Besides having terrible sequels in the later years, they all kick ass by scraping together the best gear they can find in their circumstances. One constant, however, is that they all utilized a shoulder holster in some form or fashion. Everyone uses […]

Kershaw Vedder Folding Knife: Distinctive looks and top function

I have to admit, my collection of knives has easily doubled in the past year. I never really carried a knife on my person when I was out and about, but that changed after I got my hands on an excellent Kershaw product. I wrote about the Kershaw Link not too long ago and I […]
