While the titular acronym stands for Utility, Comfort and Originality, the company’s products also feature another aspect, simplicity. So it was with the Behemoth Sweetfire match kit. Why Behemoth?

Kershaw is at it again. The Tualatin, Oregon based manufacturer has released another batch of new knife models: I was lucky enough to get my hands on one to T&E, the DuoJet. The Kershaw DuoJet has a 3.25″ long 8Cr13MoV stainless steel blade, that’s titanium carbo-nitride coated. The 4.5″ handle has matching gray titanium carbo-nitrided steel contrasting […]
