Fighting knives are the best knives. Well, they are at least the most fascinating knives one can get their hands on. In America, the design of fixed-blade fighting knives has changed over time based on contemporary tactics and trends, and the wars being fought. The Gerber MK II is a product of its time, but […]

Put a ring on it: The benefits and detriments of ringed knives
Knives are excellent backup weapons if you’re carrying a pistol. They also make good primary weapons for an everyday carry if you are unable to carry a pistol. Often when traveling abroad, I have found it exponentially easier to obtain a good knife than a reliable (or affordable) pistol. They are usually cheaper and easier […]
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 […]

The Kershaw Barstow: A knife of class and style
The Kershaw Barstow is a fine-looking knife. It’s not exactly old-school hunting knife or super modern tactical fighting knife. It’s more like it steeped out of the 1930s and is wearing a fedora and smoking a Lucky Strike. It really has a classy look to it. The spear point blade only has a single edge, but […]
The Ultimate Fighting Knife: The Fairbairn-Sykes Commando Dagger
William Ewart Fairbairn and his close friend Eric Sykes were badasses! They fought in WWI then became Shanghai police officers and then trained special operators during WWII. These two men were responsible for starting the combatives style of fighting for military and police personnel. They were truly ahead of their time but have left a […]
