This is your next must-have knife. Of course you’ll like the size and how it feels in your hand. You’ll appreciate the useful modified clip-point blade. But it’s the little flourishes that take the Flourish over the top. The big 3.5-inch blade has a top swedge and a hollow grind. But there’s also a machined […]
A while back, I had the pleasure of meeting up with one of my old buddies from Ranger Battalion. We thought, “Hey, it’s Veterans Day; let’s go to the woods, drink some whiskey, and talk about the good ol’ days!” No harm in that, right? I knew there was a cold front moving in, but […]
In a previous article we covered Surviving a Plunge through the Ice, which involved getting a fire started. One of the items shown in that article was a firesteel rod. Using a firesteel rod in conjunction with Vaseline coated cotton balls can guarantee you a flame in order to get that ever important fire built […]
Nowadays, you have a ton of options to choose from when picking out a good EDC knife. Hands down, one of the most important things to consider is what type of locking mechanism it has. In terms of strength, a frame lock is tough to beat. This kind of lock is usually found on expensive, […]
Custom maker Glenn Waters is releasing his Viper and Hayabusa designs as mid-techs knives under a new brand called Glenn-Tech Knives. An Australian living in Japan, Waters has spent the last 25 years creating sought-after, ornate custom knives.

People have asked me from time to time, what type of pocket knife I prefer to carry. That is a loaded question, because I don’t think that there is “one” knife that I would choose as the only one. If you have the option of carrying more than one knife for whatever you are doing, […]
Once a year Grayman Knives offers a limited run of DLC Coated Satus, and they usually don’t last long. The Satu, Grayman’s largest folder, is designed and built tank-tough in the Grayman tradition, precision machined with an all-Titanium handle and a CPM 20CV 4” blade. The matte-black DLC gives the Satu a rugged, non-reflective finish. […]
Böker is expanding their lineup of modern-style traditional knives with the Raphael Durand-designed Slack. Inspired by jack knives from the 19th century but rendered in modern materials, the Slack is poised to add a modern traditional offering to Böker’s gigantic lineup. Durand says the Slack was inspired by single blade folding knives found in Europe […]
New for 2017, Kershaw Knives is releasing a line of ‘Made in the USA’ knives. One of those knives is the Kershaw Dividend 1812. This is a smaller knife, but not too small. I honestly think the size is about perfect with a blade length of 3″ (cutting edge) with an overall length of 7″. […]
Kershaw and Danish custom knife and toolmaker, Jens Anso, have teamed up to create a handsome knife just right for the knife user who prefers a contemporary look. This slim, sleek design weighs in at a “Fraxion” of the weight of other comparable knives—under 2 ounces. The Fraxion’s lighter weight is thanks to the streamlined […]
