What is your absolute minimum edc?

What is your absolute minimum edc?

Kyle Defoor recently made a Facebook post about his absolute minimum EDC. In that post, he mentioned the old school mantra of ‘always have a watch and a knife‘ that was coined by the Frogmen/UDT teams of WW2. During WW2, the UDT guys would do beach reconnaissance with only their dive knife and wristwatch. At […]

Dia-Sharp credit card sharpening stone

Dia-Sharp credit card sharpening stone

When it comes to maintaining your gear in the field, everyone, for the most part, focuses on weapons maintenance. Knives will typically take a back burner to maintenance. Having the ability to keep your blades sharp is a must,  especially when out in the field and away from home. I’ve used many different methods, from […]

Zero Tolerance 0450CF Knife: First Impression

Zero Tolerance 0450CF Knife: A solid choice for James Bond

The slender shape of this knife is a perfect choice for a gentleman, combining sophistication, stealth, and technology. If James Bond were to carry a pocket knife, the ZT 0450CF would be a solid choice.

Gerber Flatiron: The good and bad with this chopper

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 […]

The Shockwave Blade 2.0 – Improving the Brace

The advent of pistol braces has changed everything in the firearms world. What started with a chunky piece of polymer called the SB 15 has evolved and grown into adjustable designs like the SBA3, the Gear Head Works V2, and now the Shockwave Brace 2.0. The original Shockwave brace was the first brace that was […]

Buck Knives’ classic 112 Ranger with a modern twist

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 […]

Top 5 Blades for Law Enforcement

Top 5 Blades for Law Enforcement

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 […]

Kershaw Concierge

Kershaw Concierge | A discreet edge

Oregon-based knife manufacturer Kershaw has a very diverse collection of pocket knives, but as of late, one unifying feature has pervaded many of their offerings: discretion in design.  The Kershaw Concierge is a perfect example of that ennobling virtue, perhaps the common thread is a broad company shift, or possibly it is the earmark trait […]

Gerber Spine

Take control of the outdoors with the Gerber Spine fixed blade knife

Gerber has taken a refreshing marketing approach with their Spine fixed blade knife. They are not telling us it is the best quality knife on the market, or even the best-priced. They are telling us the Spine is “for the weekend warrior camper or hiker” and I commend them for that honest approach. After all, […]

Everyday Carry | Always Have a Blade

Everyday Carry | Always Have a Blade

We’ve done a few EDC articles in the past where we covered the basics. Those basics typically included: a knife, handgun, and light. In this article we’re going to discuss the importance of always carrying a blade, knowing how to strike with the blade, and where to strike. Again, as with most things EDC, the blade […]
