I’m sitting here on my girlfriend’s bed at 3:45 am, 2,000 miles away from Virginia trying to come up with last minute gift idea’s for my dad. A new gun? A knife? Shoes? Clothes? What do you get for the man who has it all? I decided to write this article to give you guys […]

Featuring a heat treated blade, it’s tough enough for any job around the campsite. The super smooth opening and pocket clip placement mean its easy to get into action. The frame lock means […]
