CIVIVI RS71 Review : Big Blade Energy

Some knives are tools. Others are toys, the samurai sword you show off to Jeff from down the street. The CIVIVI RS71? It’s both, with the attitude of a dive knife, the action of a fidget spinner that just shotgunned three Red Bulls, and the build quality of something twice the price. This thing doesn’t […]

Streamlight ProTac Rail Mount HL-X: A Thoroughly Bright Review

Streamlight ProTac Rail Mount HL-X: A Thoroughly Bright Review In a world that can get unexpectedly dark, whether you’re negotiating the treacherous terrain of your living room chasing a midnight snacky snack or trying to navigate a forest infested with bears, mountain cougars, and God knows what else; having a reliable flashlight is a must. […]

Civivi Brazen Review: The Best Budget EDC Knife under $75?

Not every knife needs to be the main character. Flashy, all dressed up, and sparkling with superhuman power and costuming. Some blades aren’t here to steal the scene, they’re just here to get work done. That’s the CIVIVI Brazen in a nutshell. It’s not trying to be your next family heirloom, or something you’ll cry […]

KA-BAR: The Knife That Won Wars and Built Legends

Toor Serpent: The Only Snakebite I Actually Wanted

You call that a knife? This is a…alright, we got that inevitable reference out of the way. Honestly though, some knives are just knives, and some feel like an extension of your own will. The Toor Serpent is a sleek, no-BS, get-work-done blade that’s been living on my kit for three years, and I’ve put […]

NO METAL & PLENTY OF NOSTALGIA: The “X-2” G10 Blade by Black Triangle

Another great article from Sean Northrop. MOVIE SLOGANS!  Most of Us can remember walking into our local Movie Rental Store, and seeing them everywhere. The posters, the cardboard cutouts, but almost always on the front of each Movie case. Love them, or hate them, they all ultimately served one purpose, to convey a message. Usually […]

Chopping Through Jungles or the Front Yard, the Spetsnaz Survival Machete Chopper is Your Tool

At the homestead one Saturday, I’d finally grown tired of the overgrown shrubbery in the front yard, and the time for trimming and clearing out weeds that didn’t belong there was long overdue. I let Layla out for supervision, then grabbed the Spetsnaz Survival Machete Chopper that I’ve been using for the past few weekends, […]

My New EDC Folder, the M16 by CRKT

Kit retired as a ranking Master Sergeant and […]
