In my quest to find tools, knives and other gear that fit my minimalist lifestyle I’ve been through several products in order to find the right one. One of those items is the multi-tool. Both Gerber and Leatherman are the leading manufactures and I’ve carried multi-tools from both in the past. In the past, they have always […]
One thing I noticed after attending Outdoor Retailer this summer, that the Overland market has really taken off. Several outdoor manufacturers are now using Overland vehicles to help display their products. From Roof Top Tents, to electric coolers, solar panels, batteries and anything else to improve the Overland experience. While other companies showcased compact off-road […]
Recently Bill Rapier of AMTAC Shooting has been posting some photos of an interesting knife and sheath combination. When asked about it, Bill pointed me to his new website, AMTAC Blades to sign up for updates of the release which is on Thanksgiving Day. Here is what little we know about the blade, courtesy of his website. […]
Gerber is a great company that offers a lot of quality knives at an affordable price. The Gerber Flatiron confuses me a bit though. If you carry a cleaver as your only blade, you’re missing out on a lot of functionality compared to a blade with a point. If you carry one as a secondary […]

It’s that time of year where most guys are wondering what the hell to buy their wife, girlfriend or significant other for Christmas. Depending on what they do on a daily basis for work or commuting you may want to consider getting a few items for her to have on hand in an emergency. Not […]
There isn’t a more recognizable knife design than the karambit, a curved and often fixed-blade knife whose origins come from Southeast Asia. While it may have originally been used primarily as a work knife, it has evolved to become an unmistakable fighting knife, especially in Western countries. Its design is said to have been inspired […]
I have nothing but high praise for Spyderco knives.  My first knife was a Spyderco and my collection has only grown since then. The latest addition to my collection is the Spyderco Tenacious.  The Tenacious has a similar look and feel compared to the Spyderco Manix 2, which is one of my favorite knives, but there […]
