The increasingly popularity of EDC sharing has generated a pocketknife resurgence. Look around, chances are great you’ll see the telltale pocket clip of a folding knife on the outside of some tacti-cool jeans.

Everyone carries something different based on their Job or where they live. In the following video I discuss several common items that many tend to carry. This video is a spring board to get you thinking about what you might want to carry.
First off I will tell you that this knife has been discontinued from the manufacturer, but still available on the secondary market such as eBay for around $35.

Finally, I got lucky enough for an opportunity to review the Spyderco Bradley folder 2, a large and capable folding knife. The first thing that catches your […]
I have always heard of the great reputation that Blue Force Gear had with their world-class equipment. However, I have had very little experience with any of their products other than slings.
