(Article originally published on The Martialist) A curious feature of some state laws outlawing switchblades is the exemption provided therein for hunters and fishermen. This is because, on some level, even politicians understand the utility of a one-hand knife. It is for this reason that one-hand blades have become the standard for knives carried by […]
Cover photo courtesy of vornequipment.com As a hunter, I’m constantly changing rifle position in the woods. Low ready when you’re stalking known or suspected deer positions, slung when moving overland and safely in hand when traversing an obstacle. Vorn Equipment of Norway has come up with a patented Quick Rifle Release (QRR) system that’s essentially […]
A little over a year ago I did a review on the Merrell Fraxion Adventure Shoes. Since then I’ve been wearing these shoes off and on for the better part of the year. Out of the gate I have to say I’m thoroughly impressed with how they have held up. I have worn these shoes […]
The Adjutant knife by Minuteman seemed like it was going to be a small knife (almost too small). Once the knife arrived and I opened the package I was pleasantly surprised. Yes the blade is on the small side, but the handle is just long enough to give you a full hand grip on the […]
I received the Chris Reeve Sebenza 25 about 6 months ago from Knife Art. I have been carrying the knife off and on for 6 months now. At first I was a little hesitant just due to the value of the knife and not wanting to risk either damaging it or getting it stolen. I […]

First up is the Brothers of Bushcraft (BOB) Fieldcraft knife. TOPS is breaking out seven new handle colors and replacing […]
(Article originally published on kyledefoor.tumblr.com) Boots have always been on a 2-3 year cycle in my experience. Meaning that you’ll find a good pair, that company makes them for a couple years, then you start again because the company changes something, sends to China, whatever. I’ve worn every conceivable boot in the outdoor industry at […]
(Article originally published on All Outdoor) When you take a classic form and change it, there are bound to be complainers. And when Chris Reeve changed the Mnandi, altering the nail nick, I was one of those complainers. But the look of the knife so enticed me that I got over the nail nick and […]
(originally published on All Outdoor) At least once a month I have the “Why didn’t I think of that?” question when I encounter a product. One I had back in February was around a Kickstarter (that I eventually backed) for a modification to a very common item, one that most of us have: a Nalgene bottle. […]
