Kershaw EDC review of the Emerson designed CQC knife line

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

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-Moment Field Dress Kit

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 […]

Kershaw Rove | First Impressions

Kershaw Knives Rove | First Impressions

Another day, another chance to review whats new in products that matter to you.  Today I’m opening up a blade from Kershaw, the Rove.  It wasn’t too long ago I reviewed another Kershaw knife, the Westin.  I mention this because I can immediately spot a few similarities and given how highly I think of the Westin, […]

The Loadout Room is Seeking Gear Reviewers

Top 10 Overnight Hike Essentials

Recently a friend of mine called me to ask some advice on gear. Specifically, he was planning a 3 day hike with his two kids (adult aged kids), and wanted to make sure he wasn’t forgetting anything essential. Their hike would entail sleeping out each night, and having to pack everything they were going to […]

Spyderco Para 3 | Evolution of a Blade

Spyderco Para 3 | Evolution of a Blade

When Spyderco released the Paramilitary model 2 (AKA the Para 2), it became a legend among knife enthusiasts, even making #1 on knifenews.com’s top 25 list.  The Para 3 that I’ve received is a refinement of that design, and scaled down a bit both for ease of carry and for legality in places where a […]

Kershaw Westin | Daily Duty

Kershaw Westin | Daily Duty

Kershaw has been a big name in the knife industry for a long while now.  Founded in 1974, these knives have earned a solid reputation among end-users.  The Tualitin, Oregon based company offers a lifetime warranty on their knives- even the most inexpensive models.  Having heard of Kershaw many times over the years, I was […]

Strider ED Skeleton Knife: First Impression

Strider ED Skeleton Knife | Lightweight and Durable

Affordable and of high-quality construction, the entire Strider ED Skeleton knife is one solid piece of 154CM steel—one of the strongest, most resilient, USA-made steels. The Skeleton is also lightweight and slim, making it easy to conceal around your neck under a shirt, or inside your waistband. Style of knife: Fixed blade Blade length: 3.0″. Sharpened length is 2.81″. […]

Jeff White Thumb Skinner Knife

Jeff White Thumb Skinner Knife

To me, the Jeff White Thumb Skinner is the ideal knife size for most general tasks while out camping, hiking, or hunting. With this knife, you could easily skin and process anything from small game to deer. It also excels at processing tinder and fuel for a fire, whether that’s for the campsite or in a survival […]

The Criminal Mindset and Tactics

The Criminal Mindset and Tactics

STUDY: Local apprehension, this individual has a known criminal history and previous weapon charges. Seen here is his “carry setup”. What looked to be a homemade off-centerline sheath for a slide button type construction/utility razor blade (later determined to be a well used utility knife carrier). The knife had a lanyard attached to the handle […]
