SOG Key Knife | Always Prepared
I recently lost my father and have been going through his personal belongings for the past week. He was always one of the most prepared individuals I’ve known ever since I was a little kid. He ALWAYS had a knife or two on him. One of those knives that he always had in addition to […]

Recently a friend of mine called me to ask some advice on gear.

New Kershaw Hops & Malt folding knives
Kershaw Malt and Hops knives The Malt and Hops are two new knives from Kershaw and custom knifemaker Gustavo Cecchini. Both feature Gus’ characteristic sculpted style but also have an interesting feature that (we admit) just may have been inspired by the fine brew we were sharing with Gus at the time: a flipper that doubles […]
