Emerson CQC-7 BW: Minimal maintenance and maximum self-defense

Emerson CQC-7 BW: Minimal maintenance and maximum self-defense

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. […]

Gerber Gator Bolo | Machete madness

Founded in 1939, Gerber has long since established itself as one of the biggest names in cutting tools.  From kitchen cutlery to pocket knives, to skinning knives, Gerber has remained a small-shop powerhouse for most of a century.  The Portland, Oregon based company is still fighting to keep at the forefront of the industry.  Being […]

The Kershaw Injection 3820

The Kershaw Injection 3820

Kershaw’s Injection 3820 is a small frame knife that comes with an incredibly sane price-tag of around 10 dollars. It contains a three-inch, bead blasted, 8Cr13MoV stainless steel blade that comes with a straight flat grind and razor-sharp scandi edge out of the box. It is the perfect length for an everyday carry folding knife in most states, but more importantly […]

Gerber MP1-AR Multi-Tool

Gerber MP1-AR Multi-Tool

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

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

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

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

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: 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 […]
