I’ve used my fare share of Kershaw Knives over the years and tend to carry their products over some of the bigger name companies . Price wise, they run fairly cheap, somewhere between $40 and $80 for a good quality Everyday Carry folding knife. Recently I was given the opportunity to try out the Kershaw […]
We’ve looked at two other knives from Half Face Blades in the past. All these blades that Andy designs and produces exude the warrior lifestyle. The Half Face that is engraved into each and every blade gives them all a savage look. All I can think of when I see these blades are the Indian […]

The La Sportiva Wildcat offers a cushioned and protected ride through rocks, mud, and hard-pack trails. Find out if this is the shoe you need for your quiver.
Designed by Belarusian custom knifemaker Dmitry Sinkevich, the new Kershaw Pub looks like nothing you’ve ever seen.
