CIVIVI RS71 Review : Big Blade Energy

Some knives are tools. Others are toys, the samurai sword you show off to Jeff from down the street. The CIVIVI RS71? It’s both, with the attitude of a dive knife, the action of a fidget spinner that just shotgunned three Red Bulls, and the build quality of something twice the price. This thing doesn’t […]

Civivi Brazen Review: The Best Budget EDC Knife under $75?

Not every knife needs to be the main character. Flashy, all dressed up, and sparkling with superhuman power and costuming. Some blades aren’t here to steal the scene, they’re just here to get work done. That’s the CIVIVI Brazen in a nutshell. It’s not trying to be your next family heirloom, or something you’ll cry […]

Coin pocket folder: Gerber US1 knife

Coin pocket folder: Gerber US1 knife

The American made Gerber US1 is a quality and functional tool to include in your EDC.  It isn’t going to be my first choice for a defensive option due to its smaller length and lightweight, but it is a great backup knife for times when breaking out your automatic defensive blade may be inappropriate or […]

SOG Terminus EDC blade

SOG Terminus EDC blade: All-purpose slip joint folding knife that is legal in many places

With hundreds of knife companies each putting out a number of new blades year in and year out, you have to admire their creativity.  Managing dozens of blade shapes, steel compositions, frames, locks and pocket clips while trying to stay innovative and avoiding ground already covered is a daunting task.  This is also why I […]

ZT 0562

Zero Tolerance 0562 titanium handled knife | A titan among men

One of my favorite parts of SHOT show is always the Kershaw booth.  Kershaw and Zero Tolerance are both owned by KAI Group and international cutlery organization.  As such, both as shown off in the Kershaw booth.  We walk in, exchange pleasantries then down opens the hidden shelf display to reveal this years line-up of […]

Spyderco Shaman: The big brother to the smaller Native knife

Spyderco Shaman: The big brother to the smaller Native knife

I’ve had the pleasure of reviewing the Spyderco Shaman folder and am pleased with to give it a nod of approval. The Shaman doesn’t try to reinvent the wheel and has all of the features that Spyderco fans appreciate but packaged in a new style. Specifications  Overall Length: 8.25″ (210 mm) Blade Length: 3.58″ (91 […]

Gerber Airlift Folding Knife: Is it worth the $20?

Gerber Gear has long been a household name for knives, multi-tools, and other equipment. They are a brand that every military servicemember is familiar with, and one that every Exchange store on post carries. From my experience, their gear is sometimes a hit-or-miss but I always find a use for whatever it is. One of […]

James Williams talks edged weapons

James Williams talks edged weapons

Edged Weapons. There is a ton of content on the internet regarding the use of edged weapons and the many different designs of edged weapons. So much so that those that are not as knowledgeable are taking what amateurs are saying as gospel. I’m not saying I’m an expert, but I have a few guys in […]

Gerber Flatiron: The good and bad with this chopper

Gerber is a great company that offers a lot of quality knives at an affordable price. The Gerber Flatiron confuses me a bit though. If you carry a cleaver as your only blade, you’re missing out on a lot of functionality compared to a blade with a point. If you carry one as a secondary […]

Spyderco Dog Tag Folder: Ultimate “carry anywhere” folding knife

Spyderco Dog Tag Folder: Ultimate “carry anywhere” folding knife

Spyderco offers a renowned collection of knives, many of them carried by servicemembers, first responders, and everyday carry (EDC) enthusiasts alike. However, the premier US knife manufacturer also releases quite a few collaborations with custom knifemakers, many of which are popular novelties. One of the most peculiar ones I’ve come across recently is their Dog […]
