Professional Gear Reviews
When I think about an EDC system, I think of a system that is simple and practical. The knife is probably the most common and obvious piece of gear in an EDC system. For me, the Tanto blade is the ruling knife design for most possible uses. There are so many other knife designs to […]
(Article courtesy of Breach Bang Clear) Monday Night Knife Fights: Kershaw Leek 1660 Dave Merrill Most of the swag at SHOT Show consists of stickers, t-shirts, patches, and hats. Sooo many hats. There are exceptions, of course; one standout for the 2017 SHOT was a customized Kershaw Leek 1660 from Q LLC. The 1660 features […]
A little background before I get into the review of the Delica 4. During SHOT Show 2017 I had a chance to sit down with Spyderco to learn about what’s new for 2017 as well as some background on the company. One small piece of info I learned was that the employee count of Spyderco […]
I spent the last week at Disney World in Orlando, FL and… since I’m me… the trip afforded the opportunity to pause and reflect on what would be the best bag to take on an amusement park vacation.  First off, some background.  I’ve had plenty of park experience from which to pull from.  This was […]
Whether you know it or not, everyone has an Everyday Carry  kit, including yourself. The difference is that those of us with a survival mindset actually put a little thought and planning into what we carry around with us on a daily basis. Everyone’s kit is going to be a little different depending on where […]
Our readers know that The Loadout Room writers are big fans of SOG Specialty Knives & Tools. We’re constantly using their knives, tomahawks and multi-tools in the field and reviewing their products. Many of us have carried their equipment while serving in the military as well. I was one of the few that had not. […]
If you’ve served in the US military or have spent significant time hiking trails across North America, I’d bet dollars to doughnuts you have at least a passing familiarity with Danner footwear. Â While in 2nd Ranger Battalion out of Ft. Lewis, I was issued a set of Danners (the Acadia I believe) as my cold […]
Kershaw has been a big name in the knife industry for a long while now. Â Founded in 1974, these knives have earned a solid reputation among end-users. Â The Tualitin, Oregon based company offers a lifetime warranty on their knives- even the most inexpensive models. Â Having heard of Kershaw many times over the years, I was […]
Spotter Up writer/detective Aggro 84 can remember this story. 30 years ago we spent an hour walking up and down the warehouse district looking for our truck. After leaving a bar with Chuck D we couldn’t remember where we parked the thing. The warehouse district was a shady spot at night, because it had druggies, […]
Gerber make great knives and the Paraframe is another one of their cool designs. It is a simple design, open frame, titanium-coated knife with a serrated blade. It is very light and the duel thumb studs allow for one-handed opening. The locking mechanism keeps the blade solid when operating. This knife is light, easily fits in […]
