When I’m looking for a folding knife to carry every day and actually use, I do look for a few characteristics. First, I look for a spearpoint blade profile. I prefer the spearpoint blade profile on any knife that may be used for personal protection. Second, the blade length needs to be a minimum of […]
When I opened the package, I was initially a bit overwhelmed by the Spyderco Tri-Angle sharpening system – particularly by the detailed instructions – but I quickly learned it is really very simple to use. I think electric sharpeners and grinders are a great option but they can be a bit messy, while I found […]
Sitting in a bar in Ethiopia with my Brother when he pulled out his key chain. On it was the Swiss Key he and I had bought two years ago at the mall. We started talking about how useful it was and we got to talking about all of the different places and different uses […]

The SpyderCo Assist rescue knife blasts through glass and slices with ease. This is the safest and most effective rescue knife we’ve ever used.
Few knives impress me, most that do are fixed blade knives because they have proven time and time again that they won’t break and are always there when I need them. My work as a Survival, Evasion, Resistance, and Escape Specialist in the USAF has led me to many interesting situations. For many of these […]
I have owned several folding knives that became favorites for various reasons. Sometimes it is a functional feature, other times aesthetic. With Emerson’s CQC-7BW it all boils down to that incredible chisel ground ‘B’ blade and Tanto style point. It wraps everything I want out of a blade into one – durability, design, and function. […]
