I’ve always been a huge advocate for carrying a blade for both utility and defense. There is a lot more to carrying a blade for self-defense than just buying a cool knife and throwing it in your pocket. You need to seek training in using a knife for self-defense if that is going to be […]
Few knives impress me, most that do are fixed blade knives because they have proven time and time again that they won’t break and are always there when I need them. My work as a Survival, Evasion, Resistance, and Escape Specialist in the USAF has led me to many interesting situations. For many of these […]
Carrying concealed can be impractical or uncomfortable. Perhaps you are happy with your appendix carry holster when you are standing up, however, when you have to sit for a few hours it will drive you crazy. Concealing a sidearm is not always an option; some of us have jobs that don’t allow it or perhaps […]
A lot of people say that there is no such thing as “the best knife”. Well, I disagree. Everybody has their own opinion on what they think is the best blade. Now let’s talk about folding blades (the choices are endless). During my time in the military, I was lucky enough to try many different […]

I have never personally handled many Spyderco knives but have heard of the high-quality products they make. So, I jumped at the chance to get my hands on the Spyderco Centofante 3. The Centofante 3 is a folding knife designed by longtime knife maker Frank Centofante. It features a 3.14 inch plain edge blade made […]
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 […]
My grandpappy told me never go into the woods without, at a minimum, a knife somewhere on my person. When I was a young man, He gave me his old fixed blade buck knife and my father gave me a Swiss Army Fisherman for a more discreet and pragmatic day to day option. I still […]
We recently did an article on a SEAL Team member taking down a pirate with his knife several years back. This is the backstory to that article from a former Navy SEAL who served with the SEAL credited with the kill. The Background (courtesy of kyledefoor.tumblr.com) Rat, I wanted to let you know that we […]
