I have used this set for about three seasons now, and I still love them. The Moment Field Dress Kit includes two blades, and a sheath designed to hold the blades simultaneously. Prior to this kit I had been cycling between different blades, but they always seemed to be lacking in some way. I could […]
SOG has recently released a new line of multi-tool products known as Batons. Being a long-time fan of SOG and their knives, I was very eager to give the Baton Q3 an in-depth look to see how it holds up against my small arsenal of multi-tools. First, we need to talk about what the Baton […]

Major companies like Hogue are producing a wide variety of Auto Knives, the Infidel by Benchmade is a household name if you like knives, and we are seeing changes to knife legislation throughout the USA. It’s not always the big names who create […]

Victorinox aficionado and knife safety educator Felix Immler proved its mettle after spending three months building a campsite with just a SAK at his side. He documented the experience in The Swiss Army Knife Book, recently released in English. Over the course of his expedition, Immler […]

There is your smaller EDC folding knife that is pretty common among first responders and Military, to even your larger fixed blades that Spyderco enthusiasts love to carry.
