Knife reviews

Zero Tolerance 0470 folding knife

Zero Tolerance 0470 folding knife

I first saw Zero Tolerance in 2007 at Grey Group Training in Fayetteville, North Carolina. I was immediately attracted to the look of their knives. But their price point turned me off. So when I got the chance to review the 0470 model, I jumped on it. Designed by Dimitri Sinkevitch and coming in at […]

The new Kershaw Boilmaker EDC knife

The new Kershaw Boilmaker EDC knife

Two things stood out to me when I first saw the new Kershaw Boilermaker folding knife. The modified drop point blade, the finish of the knife and how sterile it was. The first two are obvious, but you may be wondering what I mean by sterile. What I mean is the lack of markings and […]

Magpul Limited Edition Frame Lock Knife: Rigger

Magpul Limited Edition Frame Lock Knife: Rigger

Editors note: There’s been a lot of discussion about the Magpul Rigger knife since it was announced at SHOT Show this year, and now it’s time for Magpul to show you what they’ve been talking about. Starting next Thursday, April 11th at 2 PM EST, the Rigger will go on sale on the Magpul website […]

Hoback Knives OSF Hero Series

Jake Hoback, of Hoback Knives, makes some absolutely fantastic knives. These are high end, premium grade blades for EDC. These are the kind of knives you can take to hell and back. The OSF, or open source folder, is one of the most popular. The knife is a simple design, but a very effective one. […]

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 […]

A night out with the Microtech SOCOM auto folder

Opinion: A night out with the Microtech SOCOM auto folder

I remember saving up to buy this beautiful $350 Microtech SOCOM Elite automatic/switchblade back around 2001-2002. One night I was waiting for a friend to meet me in his parking lot at his apt building, super sketchy neighborhood. I saw a crazy looking dude walking through the parking lot, so I pulled it out and had it […]

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 […]

Zero Tolerance 0460TI: An ergonomic folder

Zero Tolerance 0460TI: An ergonomic folder

I recently acquired this Zero Tolerance 0460TI and was immediately drawn to its pronounced ergonomic design. Similar to the original 0460 by ZT the folder fits neatly into the hollow of your hand, giving you a comfortable and secure grip on the tool. Unlike the original 0460, this knife is all titanium; built for toughness […]

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 […]

Benchmade 980 Turret: A new option in tactical folding knives

Originally founded in 1979 under the name Bali-Song, this California knife manufacture was best known for their quality butterfly knives. Moving their way up the west coast and finally settling in Oregon in the 1990’s with Benchmade as their new company name. Although Benchmade currently offers a wide selection of knives, they still pay tribute […]
