There is a lot to like about the Gerber MP1-AR Multi-Tool – it provides an AR15 user a full compliment of tools to service their rifle while in the field or at the shooting range.

EDC of an Active Duty Military member when off base
I’m an active duty service member in the United States Air Force. On base, I’m very restricted in what I can carry which I’ll be delving into in another article. When I’m not on base, my every day carry (EDC) focuses around the set of skills that I have learned as a Survival, Evasion, Resistance, […]
Spyderco Manix 2 | The best of Spyderco’s classics
The Spyderco Manix 2 was one of my first knives, at least the first one that cost me a bit of change. It’s a great knife that has been with me for years and still finds its way into my EDC rotation more often than any other knife I own. It also happens to be […]
Emerson CQC-14 Snubby: For those who live in areas with strict knife laws
As one of the premier knife makers in the world, Emerson knives has always been proud to call America home. Despite their name being ubiquitous with handcrafted excellence, I haven’t had a chance to run with one of Ernest Emerson’s blades until recently. In the mail arrived… the CQC-14. As stated on Emerson’s website, the […]
Crate Club Neck Knife – A Discrete Slasher
Maybe it’s just me, but the tactical world and tactical industry are starting to trend towards discrete and concealed carry. I’m in no way against this, in fact, I rather enjoy it. It’s fascinating to see the industry change and evolve into one that’s more friendly to concealed carry and civilian carry. Crate Club is […]
The SOG Baton: A New Kind Of Multi-Tool
Multi-tools are are an EDC must for many of us. When folded and put away a traditional multi-tool is basically an oddly shaped rectangle. If you don’t mind carrying it in a belt pouch then this typically isn’t an issue. I personally hate things that aren’t guns on my belt, and I can’t carry via […]
Treeman Knives: absolutely brutal in the best possible way
Treeman Knives® started in 1998 with Jim Behring and his wife Deanna in their Michigan shop. They have since grown to be a respected name in the knife world and are used by law enforcement agencies, SEAL teams and other special operations units, and many outdoor enthusiasts. From the first time I laid eyes on their blades at a […]
Kershaw EDC review of the Emerson designed CQC knife line
Having owned several Kershaw EDC knives designed by Ken Onion, I have a lot of trust in the higher-end products that Kershaw produces. However, in most cases you pay dearly for those quality American made knives, and for the average person looking to add a few quality options to their EDC it can be a pain-point. This […]
Spyderco Matriarch 2 | Extreme cutting performance
The Spyderco Matriarch 2 conforms to the idea that your EDC blade should be a tool and your defensive blade should be a weapon. Looking back in the Matriarch’s family tree we see the original Spyderco Civilian, designed for undercover officers who were in a non-permissive environment for defensive firearms. With it’s distinctive reverse-s blade […]
Gerber Gear | Moment Field Dress Kit
I have used this set for about three seasons now, and I still love them. The Moment Field Dress Kit includes two blades, and a sheath designed to hold the blades simultaneously. Prior to this kit I had been cycling between different blades, but they always seemed to be lacking in some way. I could […]
