When I opened the package, I was initially a bit overwhelmed by the Spyderco Tri-Angle sharpening system – particularly by the detailed instructions – but I quickly learned it is really very simple to use. I think electric sharpeners and grinders are a great option but they can be a bit messy, while I found […]
Sitting in a bar in Ethiopia with my Brother when he pulled out his key chain. On it was the Swiss Key he and I had bought two years ago at the mall. We started talking about how useful it was and we got to talking about all of the different places and different uses […]
Blade Brothers Knives is a small veteran-owned business in Ukraine that specializes in high quality knives designed for various combat applications. While they have a very wide selection to choose from, each with its own purpose, I will focus on the three that I chose to acquire. BB Knives was born from the war between […]
I’ve had the ESEE 4 for a few weeks now, and it’s been a near constant companion on my adventures. It’s too large for everyday carry, but perfect for every adventure carry. I’ve taken fishing in the Gulf of Mexico and exposed it to salt water, and barely cleaned it and not a touch of […]
When the topic of pocket knives comes up, there is a polarizing difference in how much a man is willing to pay for the small piece of steel that’s about to occupy his pocket. I’ve talked to people that only want to pay a hundred dollars or so, and I’ve seen knives go for three […]

The SpyderCo Assist rescue knife blasts through glass and slices with ease. This is the safest and most effective rescue knife we’ve ever used.
Few knives impress me, most that do are fixed blade knives because they have proven time and time again that they won’t break and are always there when I need them. My work as a Survival, Evasion, Resistance, and Escape Specialist in the USAF has led me to many interesting situations. For many of these […]
I have owned several folding knives that became favorites for various reasons. Sometimes it is a functional feature, other times aesthetic. With Emerson’s CQC-7BW it all boils down to that incredible chisel ground ‘B’ blade and Tanto style point. It wraps everything I want out of a blade into one – durability, design, and function. […]
I have carried a Gerber multi-tool for many years and still do so I was excited to check out their StrongArm fixed blade. I got to test it in the field through a couple of training operations and it withstood everything from opening MREs to some light bushcraft in the form of shelter construction. To […]
