Photo of the day: Spartan Blades CQB tool, not just for CQB

Spartan Blades CQB tool. Real world tests on blades are a challenge when that blade has one primary purpose: to push through flesh quickly, again and again. To test the edge as well as the CQB tool’s durability, I took it out commercial fishing in Alaska. For 30 straight days, I used it in an […]

A quick look at the Hoback Knives Hero Series Marine

A quick look at the Hoback Knives Hero Series Marine

Hoback Knives is a brand we are now taking a closer look at on the Loadout Room after our initial impressions of the MK Ultra we recently reviewed. The Hoback Knives Hero Series are nothing short of works of art. Although they are really nice looking blades they are meant to be used as tools, […]

Hoback Knives MK Ultra gentlemans folder

Hoback Knives MK Ultra gentlemans folder

It has long been known that the government was involved in experiments involving mind-control. Project “MK Ultra,” is probably one of the most widely recognized of these. It involved hypnosis, LSD administration, sensory deprivation, among other techniques. At this point, you’re probably wondering how this correlates with Jake Hoback’s  Kwaiken-style knife, dubbed the “MK Ultra”? […]

Photo of the day: Symbolism of the dagger and special operations

I have always been drawn to the design of the dagger mostly due to the symbolism with regards to Special Operations units. While on the floor at SHOT Show 2019, we stopped by one of our favorite vendors, Gerber Gear. Although they have several new products hitting the shelves, their folding dagger and fixed blade dagger continue […]

ESEE-3 MIL Fixed Blade: Practical and fully capable

ESEE-3 MIL Fixed Blade: Practical and fully capable

ESEE knives are popular amongst Loadout Room writers. From the SERE instructor to our editor, ESEE knives receive a lot of praise and for a good reason. I have owned an ESEE 6 for years, but I only recently got my hands on the ESEE-3 MIL, and it certainly does not disappoint. The ESEE-3 MIL may be the smallest out of […]

Toor Knives Raider: Designed to be the perfect belt utility blade

Toor Knives Raider: Designed to be the perfect belt utility blade

I love thick knives. They survive the rigors of the field better than the thinner blades I’ve seen in many “survival” and “utility” knives. I use my knives quite a bit. At a minimum, they are doing 1-2 weeks in the field per month building fires and gutting animals. I’ve seen many knives break in my […]
