Not too long ago I had the chance to start testing Thermacell’s Proflex heated insoles. My initial impressions article can be found here. These are the heavy-duty, premium offering from Thermacell so if these aren’t sufficient, I don’t think any of their options will be. Being adequate isn’t a concern here though. If your worries […]
SOG, known for its tactical roots, is continuing to pursue unexpected product categories. This time they’re doing it with the new for 2017 Terminus slipjoint knife. Like with the Baton multitool series, SOG built some clever engineering into its deceptively simple package. The new knife features a G-10 handle, deep carry clip, and 3-inch CTS-BD1 clip point blade that rides […]
Properly maintaining your tools is crucial to their longevity and performance. Sometimes, that means you’ll need to take them apart. Whether it’s due to rust blooming under the liners or sand in the bearing pivot, this week’s installment in the Knife Maintenance Month series will help guide you through disassembling (and reassembling) your folding knives.

As most students of woodcraft already know, pioneer camping writers George W. Sears (Nessmuk) and Horace Kephart have reached something close to sainthood status with modern knife users. Their field guides made it abundantly clear they had no time for large blades or anything that resembled a “Billy the Kid Bowie Knife.” Nessmuk bequeathed to us […]
First impressions are the rule, but the Salming Race 3, in this case, certainly is the exception. I eagerly anticipated trying out the Salming brand. As a runner who leans towards the natural/ minimal side of the spectrum Salming products offer a happy medium especially when considering a race platform, with their “no nonsense running” […]
Most people think of SOG as full spectrum knife/tomahawk/multi tool company. But new for 2016 is a break from tradition and their introduction of “soft goods” including 6 backpacks ranging in volume from 12 liters to 35 liters. All constructed of high quality materials and features, just like SOG’s bladed tools. While wandering aimlessly through Shot Show this […]
Fox Knives recently revealed it would be expanding its value-oriented Black Fox line in 2017, with several new models slated to join the budget catalog. First out of the gates is the Nidhug, a tactical slipjoint folder designed by Mikkel Willumsen that brings Fox style to the masses in a sub-$50 package. Designed for wide legality, it has a stiff back […]
Editors note: One of our loyal readers and owner of a CRKT Heiho knife contacted me the other day offering a quick tip to make the CRKT Heiho a little more usable. Here is what he had to say. “I like it very much but I found it to be “slick” in the hand. I […]
The next knife to roll out of the shop at Three Rivers Manufacturing (TRM) will be a retro-styled framelock flipper called the Thunderbird. Reminiscent of classic American car design, the company hopes the Thunderbird will help it race to the front of the high-end production knife pack in 2017 and beyond. Designed by company founder Les Halpern, the Thunderbird’s distinctive geometry injects some new life […]
