We haven’t brought you a fresh knife review in a great long while, so I figured that if I came with a new blog post about a knife, it had better be something truly fantastic. That being said, I got around to picking up a knife that I have been cautiously eyeballing for no short […]
The last time we checked in with Hogue, the company had just finished modernizing their brand. This time they’ve turned their attention to bolstering their product line. Hogue will soon be shipping their first button lock flipper knife, called the X5. The knife features a new patent-pending blade retention device and marks a number of other […]
“A journey into the wilderness is the freest, cheapest, most nonprivileged of pleasures. Anyone with two legs and the price of a pair of army surplus combat boots may enter.”- Edward Abbey What we put on our feet can make the all the difference when we hit the trail. Support, comfort, stability all factor in […]

Joe Caswell stunned the knife world this week when he posted a short video of his morphing karambit prototype on social media. Caswell has won multiple awards for mechanical innovations in the past, and brought all his self-taught engineering know-how to bear on this jaw-dropping design.

While some choose to walk the earth wearing a many battle bush, others combine a beard with long hair, skinny jeans and… sandals. There is a classic shaving revival that runs […]
When it comes to guns it’s hard to be innovative with the myriad of choices out there.
