Professional Gear Reviews
As avid of a knife fan as I am, I still feel like I need to justify the purpose and intent of each one I own. Fixed blade knives have a wide range of uses. From skinning a deer, filleting a fish or self-defense; these primitive weapons still find a special place in our heart, […]
The Spyderco Bradley 2 and have been going round and round for a few weeks now. When I did my first look I said it was a working man’s knife disguised as a gentleman’s knife. I meant it then, but as I’ve used and abused the knife I’ve learned there is nothing gentle about it. […]
I Don’t know a whole lot about knives, but I do know that they are an essential piece of equipment for any first responder, military member, or anyone who likes to be prepared. Gerber Gear is one of the leading manufactures of knives and their Decree knife is a great option for anyone looking for […]
During my Emerson La Griffe review I was pleasantly surprised. In my experience, folding knives are small and made for the pocket. Fixed blade knives are large and hang off the belt. The Emerson La Griffe defies both expectations. It’s a fixed blade knife that goes on the belt but is small enough to pocket. In the […]
I had been following Maury Abreu – founder and Chief Instructor of Omega Protective Concepts for awhile hoping to train combatives with him as he is a fellow New Jersey guy. Maury is a former Marine, Federal Corrections Officer, and contractor for the government. Last year Maury announced that he was offering his own combat […]
In the past several years, Gerber has seemed to redefine themselves with a growing line of products. This is a good thing for consumers that enjoy different products for a wide variety of uses. The Gerber Outrigger is a line of folding knives that are available in various sizes and styles. Under review is the […]
As you know there are a ton of choices out there when shopping for EDC knives. We have the advantage of testing and evaluating a lot of these knives in order to give you the reader an educated decision, so we have a pretty good idea of what works and what doesn’t. I asked a […]
When I heard that my friends son (Caleb), who is 14 years old, was crafting his own knives at home, I had to see what he could do. After seeing some of his work, I decided to challenge him a bit, by having him forge a fixed blade version of the Emerson CQC-7 folding knife. […]
A bit earlier this week I received the ESEE-4 made by Randall’s adventure and training out of Alabama. The ESEE-4 is a fixed blade knife with a 4-inch blade, and the blade itself is made from 1095 carbon steel. The ESEE-4 is a full tang and feature two grip panels. The first time I pulled […]
I’ve always been a huge advocate for carrying a blade for both utility and defense. There is a lot more to carrying a blade for self-defense than just buying a cool knife and throwing it in your pocket. You need to seek training in using a knife for self-defense if that is going to be […]
