Professional Gear Reviews
Sharp things are fun. Let’s face it, nothing is more badass than taking a sexy knife or tomahawk into a gunfight, even though that’s rule number one. I’ll be honest with you, Helle knives are now my favorite. I have tried to dull this thing out with continuous use and I just can’t get that […]
There isn’t a whole lot I can say about the Buck 112 Ranger LT folding knife. Conjure up an image of a stereotypical pocket knife, and this is what most would think of. A standard folder, clip blade with a thumbnail opener. The blade length sits right at 3 inches, and when closed the overall […]
It is no secret that I am a fan of ZT (Zero Tolerance) knives. ZT is a product line from KAI, USA. They specialize in hard use, semi-custom, factory production knives at a reasonable price. I started my foray into ZT about five years ago when I purchased my beloved ZT 0301 ST. I carried […]
Gear loadout is nearly at the top of the list when it comes to mission planning. You check the board and see when you muster, what you are assigned to and what gear you are required to bring. Even before that a lot of thought is given to what type of personal gear to include […]
Let me show you the secrets that no one tells you in Ka-Bar Becker Knife BK16 review! The Ka-Bar Becker BK16 is a great knife to have when outdoors. It is ergonomic, has a full tang, boasts of strong edge retention, modestly-sized, and has a ridged thumb serration perfect for control during carving and other […]
There are several sports that require, or at least recommend carrying a knife. Most are obvious, like hunting, fishing, camping, etc. Two slightly more obscure sports that I’m involved in are SCUBA diving and sea kayaking. Finding the right knives that fit these specific sports have been a challenge for me. Until I came across […]
Buck Knives took their classic 112 line and breathed some new life into it with their 112 Ranger Pro version. It features a G10 handle and brushed nickel silver bolsters, and has a razor-sharp S30V clip point blade. As the video demonstrates, it comes with an impressive factory edge and is a solid option for […]
It has been a while since I got my hands on the Emerson Knives P-SARK SF Rescue knife. If you remember, this blade made my, “Top 5 Police blades“, and I am still using it to this day. Traditionally when we think of blades we think of combat or survival. Although the P-Sark can be used […]
Regardless of your profession, a blade can come in handy. As a LEO (Law Enforcement Officer), I’d say it should be a requirement. I can use my blade for day-to-day tasks, saving a life, defending myself, and more. As a LEO I have requirements I place on my blades that others may not. Everyone has their favorite […]
Kyle Defoor is one of the few, if not the only firearms instructor that incorporates blade work and combatives into his training. We’re not talking about folding knives clipped to your pocket either. These are concealed fixed blades with one purpose. To defend your life with. Watch as Kyle goes over the knives he uses and a simple […]
