Professional Gear Reviews
I love automatic knives, aka switchblades, and over time they’ve edged their way into my collection and my EDC rotation. One I’ve had for almost a year now has been one of my favorite companions. This little guy is Gerber’s Mini Covert Auto. It’s one of the smallest switchblades I own, second only to Hogue’s […]
Whether you’re an action star who regularly deals deathblows with pencils or just an ordinary guy like the rest of us, the Gerber Impromptu Tactical Pen is worth some consideration for your everyday-carry (EDC). Most students and professionals carry a pen, but carrying a tactical pen is a somewhat peculiar concept. If you have a pen on you […]

Things change and so does your gear. With the way the defense industry is nowadays somebody or someone always has something better. For instance, I have dropped a lot of gear out of my kit and added a few pieces of gear. This is what happens over time as we adapt in the dark world […]
Gerber has taken a refreshing marketing approach with their Spine fixed blade knife. They are not telling us it is the best quality knife on the market, or even the best-priced. They are telling us the Spine is “for the weekend warrior camper or hiker” and I commend them for that honest approach. After all, […]
You really never appreciate the lighter things until you experience them. I lug around a wide variety of knives, and most of the time I’m reviewing them for you fine folks. Until the Evo graced my home I never really knew just how heavy these knives are. I’ve carried lightweight knives, but they tended to be pretty […]
Everyone loves a good multi-tool and Gerber is one of the most well-known and respected companies producing them.
